I am so NEW at SB5101

[nintendo1889]

I bought a sb5101 1.0rc6 on ebay. Should I upgrade it to 1.1?

I'm on comcast in atlanta.

Could someone please post a link to the info since I don't see any sticky's or any guide or faqs.

Edit: ok, nevermind. I read the upgrade\instructions.txt file, quoted below. It's flashed already so I'll just leave it on 1.0rc6.

Upgrading from previous shelled firmware (infinite) or Haxorware 1.0

Set your computers ip to 192.168.100.10
Set up a TFTP server with haxorware11revXX-XXXX.bin in its root
Make sure the haxorware webgui isn't currently open
Connect to modem with hyperterminal or telnet to the IP 192.168.100.1
Enter your username and password
cd /ip
ipconfig 1 release
y
dload -i 1 -l -f 192.168.100.10 haxorware11revXX-XXXX.bin
y
cd /
reset

Haxorware 1.1 should now boot

Upgrading from Haxorware 1.1
Make sure the modem's cpu usage is low, so if it's currently scanning for downstream make it stop by going to the web shell and doing
cd /docsis
scan_stop
The safest time to do the Firmware Upgrade is when the modem is fully operational and online.
Then use the Firmware Upgrade page on the WebGUI, find haxorware11revXX-XXXX.bin and upload it to the modem in the Firmware section
Reboot the modem using the WebGUI or otherwise, and the new version of Haxorware should now boot
