How can I get cisco IOS software for 877 router?

[cleary1981]

Hi,

I have been having trouble with my router. It is a Cisco 877 router. Using SDM I was able to wipe the flash thinking that as I have the CD I would have all I need to reinstall all the software. From what I can gather I need to reinstall the IOS then reload my config file which had saved previously.

Problem is that I cant download the software from cisco as I need to have a service agreement. (Probably be cheaper to buy a draytek router)

So far I have connected to the router console through hyper terminal and the flash memory is completely blank.

Can anyone advise what I should do?

You are correct in that you need a service agreement with Cisco to gain access to firmware, but you could always try putting on a FOSS image, though that's probably something you want to research very thoroughly before trying on Cisco's hardware.
