Re: New vdsl Modem

Is there any sign that the DSL is syncing?

Re: New vdsl Modem

There seems to be an online manual now, there wasn't a few days ago, so I downloaded it.
Have you checked the 'operation mode' ? , page 18 , it needs to be xDSL modem router mode

xDSL Modem Router Mode: In this mode, the device enables multi-users to share Internet via xDSL using its VDSL port and share it wirelessly at 300Mbps wireless 802.11n speeds.
Wireless Router Mode: In this mode, the device enables multi-users to share Internet via Ethernet WAN (EWAN) using its interchangeable LAN4/WAN port and share it wirelessly at 300Mbps wireless 802.11n speeds.
I set to xDSL Modem Router Mode and still won't syncing! I am getting frustrated and annoyed now. Probably the worse set up in my own experience.

Re: New vdsl Modem

Did you reboot after changing the setting ?
and are you using the RJ11 lead that came with the router ? I've seen different routers use different pairs of the cable , so you often need to use the exact cable that came with the router.

Re: New vdsl Modem

Silly me - I put the telephone cable into LAN port! Should be on DSL port! Biggest mistake! It's now connected.

Re: New vdsl Modem

People buy all these different VDSL modem/routers that may or may not support vectoring as BT implement it....
It's all a bad idea imho, stick with the HG612 and add a normal ethernet router that does PPPoE. At this rate, when vectoring comes, those people with their own random VDSL modems will screw over the rest of us Sad

Re: New vdsl Modem

Glad its sorted, let us know what you think of the router - very interested in this as a one box solution for the Technicolour one & BT modem plus net supply, although those are actually working pretty well so it is the potential WiFi improvement that would be most useful for me?
I assume the TP-Link has similar options to the Technicolour to restrict access for certain devices?  Finding that very useful to block kids ipods/kindles at night when they should be sleeping!

Re: New vdsl Modem

So Goldenfibre, in your technical opinion, should I purchase one of these routers then ?
Got a bit spooked by 'rtho782' comments about the vectoring issue, something to worry about ?
Cheers for all your advice so far  Smiley
