How to upgrade Huawei WA1003A to a Feature Rich Firmware
I am one of those guys who still have the Huaweii WA1003a Router provided by BSNL and its still working perfectly (guess a solid build) , but its nearly 7 years passed and no new firmware update was provided , on asking for newer version of firmware in huawei forums... the reply was shocking as one of Huawei staff replied "Sorry , Quidway 1003A is a terminal product not a DATACOM router."(Source: http://forum.huawei.com/jive4/thread.jspa?threadID=319714&tstart=1&orderStr=9). Ok, Finally i decided to put Third party Feature Rich firmware called RouterTech Firmware The upgrade process is a little difficult , but people who have knowledge of linux commands should handle this fairly easily. THIS UPGRADE PROCESS IS NOT FOR NOVICES AND ANY MISTAKES MAY BRICK THE ROUTER AND MAKE IT USELESS. ALSO , MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER MEANS OF INTERNET CONNECTION LIKE MOBILE GPRS / 3G AVAILABLE IN THE EVENT OF YOU BRICKING THE ROUTER... YOU CAN USE ...
