That IS indeed the question, seeing as my Zen line isn't active yet I haven't had to deal with it.  Also, unfortunately, MultiWAN is not available for my build of OpenWRT so I'm going to have to either build it myself or figure out what it actually does.

I have had a Multi WAN configuration working on my Fedora machine but of course that only uses DHCP and so can be easily bypassed.  How I'm going to do it for PPPoE I'm really not sure as obviously it has to take into account what settings PPP has assigned and also deal with when the connection goes up/down.

Both connections are static IPs so I figure I can probably get away with setting them NOT to become the default route and just put scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d, /etc/ppp/ip-down.d that check the current state and adjust routing depending on which connections are up.

We should probably take this discussion to another thread.....

Hi,

I'm looking for the firmware version: bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP06_unlockedgui-nobtagent
I would be grateful if someone could reupload it somewhere.

Hi all,

First time poster, bit of a lurker :)

I've had Sky FTTC since April 2012 and their Pro product since it was launched in June 2012 - in the past I've unlocked the firmware on my HG612 to get the line stats out, but I was interested to see another site that mentions that I could increase my line rates...

Would upgrading to these later or other firmwares I've seen out there do this?

I mean, I get 60Mbit, but when I first had Pro turned on the line ran at 70Mbit and it runs stable at that, so I don't know why it decides to drop it to 60.

Would I be right in thinking I could tweak a modem to try and get some Mb's back? If it's not possible then I don't want to break a ball over it, 60/20 is still very good for what I use, but if I could eek some more out then let me know!

HG612 sits right next to the master socket with a 30cm RJ11 cable, there's nothing else I can do to improve things there. I recently experienced a storm which took out something in the cabinet - when it was all fixed I was back at 70 again for a short while, so I assume now it has dropped again then that's all I'll be able to get, but looking at previous figures: -

Sync 65341/20000
Max. Attainable of 77104/22251 SNR 6.3/7.1

Anyone shed any light on this or shall I just be happy? :D I suspect with the SNR of 6.3 that is my lot. I'll have to get some fresh stats.

If your line is interleaved that could be taking up some of your speed.   Also it's possible that crosstalk as more people get out on the dslam will have reduced speeds since you first got connected.

Am I able to influence whether my line is interleaved or not?

Nope.  The only thing you can really do is try to make the best of your internal wiring and hope that's enough.

Ah, well considering that I have a 30cm cable between my master socket (with no extensions) and a recent new faceplate thanks to an OR engineer then there is nothing else I can do.

Never mind!

If I remove 301 does it mean I have disabled BTagent?  thanks.

VLAN 301 is used for BT Wifi. To kill BTAgent you have to run the killall -KILL start btagent command

I've successfully flashed installed B030SP08 with the web interface and now have the modem LAN2 connected to the router. Using the laptop which I used to do the unlocking (IP still set as 192.168.1.100) I can access the web interface using Firefox. On my main PC (IP 192.168.1.64) when I try to access it using Firefox I get a blank screen. Using Chrome on the same PC is fine.

Any ideas?
