Hmm, it's odd, i get the same if i click on the link or cut and paste into either browser, more investigation needed
Thanks

link  working fine here in FF and IE 

Likewise.

Anyway, 8C0 is now available below hopefully (as an HTTP download, AV progs may not like it, I'll change the extension if necessary but works for me as is):

That worked perfectly thank you

Got one of these routers and it's the most unstable buggy piece of crap I have ever used. The UI is awful and the modem reboots it's self at random times I also have the 8C0 firmware installed. The 7 series firmware was even worse with the modem rebooting every couple of hours and if you touched anything in the UI it would reboot. I just hope DLM doesn't kick in and cap my line..

Hi

I've had the same issues with early firmware however 8C0 has been stable and no crashing, with current uptime at 14 days.

The 7 version firmware did have a pretty bad memory leak which caused it to reboot every few hours or a lot sooner if using the Web UI.  This was fixed in verson 8C0, so I would double check your version is reported as 8C0 under the Firmware upgrade page.  It is also worth resetting to defaults and re-entering the configuration if you hadn't done this already when going from 7 to 8.

Also check the power supply is rated at 12 volt 2 amps.  Modems/routers with dual radios and high speed ac Wi-Fi draw quite a lot of power in bursts, so if not using the correct power supply will appear to work okay most of the time but then seemingly reboot.  Also enable the Log and check after a reboot if the cause of the reboot is shown.

Also I would suggest clearing your browser cache folder after any firmware update to ensure any scripts from the embedded web server are re-downloaded to avoid using out of date ones.

I do agree what you say about the Web UI, it is very slow at times and could be better.

the supplied adapter is rated at 1.5amps. why would this be included with a router rated at 2amps?

[PhilipD]

Hi

That's okay if you have 8324 version without 5Ghz AC. The 8924 needs 2 amps.

ive contacted the supplier. The GUI is still a buggy piece of crap though, you can't even disconnect from WAN correctly without it locking you out and also if you reboot you lose the ISP password which is a pain as you have to edit the VDSL config every time.

I think your unit is faulty as neither my 8324 or my 8924 do any of those things.

Not sure if you have a VMG8924 or VMG8324 because of your mention of the power supply.

Not seen either of these problems with my 8324, although you do have to refresh the page after a PPP disconnect.

The UI is awful and the modem reboots it's self at random times

Aside from seeing this happen twice in one of the beta f/w's (cant recall now but its documented somewhere), but I rolled back and Ive not seen the problem since.  Up until 2 days ago when I had to turn my electricity supply off at the mains, then mine had been up for weeks and prior to that something like 3 months. All times have been me doing the power cycle. 

Im unsure if you have the correct power supply?

[broadstairs]

Either they have the wrong PSU or a duff router.

Yes the gui can be slow and is not particularly well designed but for me on both my 8324 and now on my 8924 (with correct PSU and using latest V8 release) have been fine. Mine has been up about 17+ days this time, and that was because I had a power problem in the house.

I do appear to have one issue with my 8924 on V8 firmware. That is I lose the ability to login via telnet or access the GUI via a web browser after a number of days of it being up. It seems a bit variable but between 12 and 20 days so far seems to be how long before it happens. The internet acces both by cable and wireless lans seem fine when it happens. As the only way I can see to recover access is to power off and on the router I am unable to see any valid logs to understand why this happens. I think it is time to try ZyXEL to see what they say.

Just heard from ZyXEL on my report of losing the access and they want me to test on 10C0 a new f/w update which is downloading now. I will try it later as we are off out for the rest of the day now.

10C0? And 9C0?
