    Hi,
    Is it possible to change the firmware on an Eircom Zyxel Modem so that I can use the modem with Smart Broadband?

    thanks

    Yes you can but it is very complex and you could easily brick the modem. I recommend that you do not do it.

    There's no need to change the firmware, all you need to do is modify the PPPoE settings.
    PPPoE username and password need to be changed, that is all. All the other settings are standard in Ireland such as VPI & VCI.
    Smart Telecom will provide your PPPoE username and password if you cannot remember them.
