Gentlefolk,

Does anybody have any data on the TalkTalk "Superhub" Huawei HG635 firmware please ?

In particular does it have a similar enhanced version as BT are now running in their HG 612s that provides a very useful sync speed increase on slower poor quality lines ?

Is the modem locked down as BT's is ?

Kind regards,
Walter

I would also like to ask a question about this device . . . and trust Walter will not object to me raising it here. 

This "Superhub" (as TalkTalk describe it) is undoubtedly a modem/router/DHCP server/DNS server/WAP/firewall. I would be interested in knowing if the modem is VDSL2 capable or, rather like the Beattie HH3 & HH4, is limited to ADSL2+ as its maximum?

Just a Google search ->

TalkTalk Huawei HG635 Built in VDSL modem

I was part of the latest TalkTalk Labs trial for this Huawei HG635 router the trial is now complete and I no longer need the Router, I've moved on from TalkTalk.

Description
Cutting edge Huawei HG635 hardware which includes the latest 1GB capable Wi-Fi wireless networking specification, known as 802.11ac.

Built in VDSL modem (No need for the open reach modem = Reclaim one of your wall sockets)
this is the only device you need for your fibre internet.

@ BKK,

I think we are led to believe that the Super Router is capable of handling the BT OR VDSL2 protocol as illustrated in their wiring diagram included in:-

Kind regards,

Thank you N*Star and Walter.

So we now need the services of an appropriate Wizard, with a fully equipped laboratory, to examine and expose the innermost secrets of such a device.

It's a Broadcom based modem with a fully functional telnet interface and the normal CLI functions. DSLstats works with it, and there's no reason in principle why HG612_Modem_Stats shouldn't work with it as well.

Hi bk and walter, long time no see

I've got one here, just awaiting my Friday install/go live on TT fibre. Popped it out of the box earlier to configure the wifi side - it has dual 2.4/5 GHz capability, and it is ac capable. However, I've just set it to g only @ 2.4GHz to be best compatible with most of the wifi devices in the house. Signal strength is very good, at an equal distance to the measuring point as my trusty 2640B with 10dBi gain antenna, the superhub wifi was showing around 15dB better signal !! Surprised me a bit, but if it'll be stable at that output will be well happy with it...

Hardware version:

HTH walter and b*cat

Thanks GJ,

It would be useful if you could add pictures of any performance stats pages you can access.

Kind regards,
Walter

walter, best I can do at the moment.... HTH

[GunJack]

and p.s. Eric, I can't get DSLstats to connect, think they may have closed down the telnet port 23 for roll-out, or I'm not configuring the logon correctly 

[roseway]

If you can't login to the telnet interface manually, it does look as though it's been blocked. I haven't yet been able to contact the person who originally reported that it worked.

Running nmap from the LAN-side will show what port(s), if any, is/are open.

For Walter's convenience, I have re-attached the two DSL Connection Status screen-scrapes as PNG images, below.

[It might be worth checking what is displayed when the rights, at the bottom of that GUI page, is selected.]

  I would be worth looking to see if there is a firewall acl to enable telnet and also whether the config file is is in plain text and editable. It might just be possible to enable telnet that way.
