Sagem 2704n

Is anybody on the trial using the new Plusnet router?

I planned on putting it through its paces before we started shipping but never got round to it. Can probably supply a few devices if anybody fancies the challenge?

Should it work out of the box?

I'll be able to tell if it works out of the box on the 14th - providing it's easy to disable the TR069 and configure it with the IPv6 test account and password.

I am willing to try one out and provide feedback, currently on FTTC and the IPv6 trial.

Where's the challenge in that Andy?

Yes, fairly trivial.

Shall I send it to the address associated with your account?

Yes please.

Are there different versions of the router for ADSL and FTTC?

Re: Sagem 2704n

Different firmware configs, although there's a button in the GUI that allows you to flip from one to the other.

The one I received this morning is for FTTC: no ADSL cable, two ethernet cables, Let's get started booklet has a "Wireless fibre router" flash on the front cover.
Having said this the Advanced Settings > Management option has a button "ADSL / Fibre" Current configuration is: Fibre Use this button to switch to ADSL.
Will try it out on a friends Plusnet ADSL connection when I have a chance.

For IPv6, it does not for me, Software Version: 7.273.1_F2704N_Plusnet.
As expected IPv4 is working without any problems.
There is a section in the expert_user.html hidden menu Advenced Setup > LAN > IPv6 Autoconfig.
I will try see what I can achieve.

Mine was delivered 5 minutes ago - same package. One thing I did notice is the advice in the booklet to make sure the phone is working properly before the engineer leaves - including using the quiet line test.

I have dumped the router's configuration to a text file and then loaded it into an XML editor.
A search for IPv6 brought up a few items but nothing that leapt out at me. I was hoping there may be an IPv6 FALSE item that I could toggle to TRUE.
Out of ideas for the moment, will have a closer look through the config file when I get a chance.

I've changed it to the IPv6 account and no IPv6 by default.
The IPv6 settings that PeteB referred to above is just for the LAN - it isn't getting an IPv6 address from the WAN when it connects.
Going to try swapping to the TG582 that I've hopefully converted to FTTC.

I have just tried the 2704n on my friends ADSL line, no IPv6.

Have you tried setting <X_BROADCOM_COM_IPv6Enabled> to TRUE on <WANPPPConnection instance="1">?

I joined Plusnet just a month ago and don't have an IPv6 account. But I do have a 2704N. Can I get an IPv6 account?

Very many thanks to Darsh
I now have it working with IPv6.
Getting 10/10 when testing with http://test-ipv6.com/
I did gateway hop until I was on a non bng gateway.
My notes were as follows


Set up the router to use the ipv6 test login and password.
Set the  DNS Servers are set to google (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4)
Advanced Settings > DNS
Make a plain text copy of the settings using http://192.168.1.254/dumpcfgdynamic.cmd
Make sure there is NOT a space at the start of the first line
Make sure the last few lines at the end are removed so that the last line is </DslCpeConfig>
Edit using notepad
Between the lines
<X_BROADCOM_COM_IfName>ppp1.1</X_BROADCOM_COM_IfName>
<ExternalIPAddress notification="2">81.174.XXX.XXX</ExternalIPAddress>
Add:
<X_BROADCOM_COM_IPv6Enabled>TRUE</X_BROADCOM_COM_IPv6Enabled>
i.e.
<X_BROADCOM_COM_IfName>ppp1.1</X_BROADCOM_COM_IfName>
<X_BROADCOM_COM_IPv6Enabled>TRUE</X_BROADCOM_COM_IPv6Enabled>
<ExternalIPAddress notification="2">81.174.XXX.XXX</ExternalIPAddress>
The last parts of the IP address have been hidden
Load the edited file using http://192.168.1.254/expert_user.html
Management > Settings > Update
N.B. Although the Connection Status screen on the router shows DSL Down it should be working.

Why are you changing the DNS servers? OK it may be recommended, but surely it is not required:

C:\Users\John>nslookup loopsofzen.co.uk 212.159.6.9
Server:  cdns01.plus.net
Address:  212.159.6.9
Name:    loopsofzen.co.uk
Address:  2001:8b0:0:30::666:102
