Is there a particular reason why you aren't using the 08 version?

No particular reason except that the HG612 I'm using has the 06 firmware. I've got a vague memory of finding the GUI very sluggish with the 08 version, but I may be wrong. Is there any advantage in the 08 apart from the fix for the VPN bug which the 06 version had?

[Bald_Eagle1]

I'm not really sure, other than BTOR updated it remotely (when it wasn't blocked by users).

Presumably, to make G.INP & Vectoring ready

This is from my 08 version:-

xdslcmd profile --show

Modulations:
   G.Dmt   Enabled
   G.lite      Enabled
   T1.413   Enabled
   ADSL2   Enabled
   AnnexL   Enabled
   ADSL2+   Enabled
   AnnexM   Disabled
   VDSL2   Enabled
Phone line pair:
   Inner pair
Capability:
   bitswap         On
   sra            On
   trellis            On
   sesdrop         Off
   CoMinMgn         Off
   24k            On
   phyReXmt(Us/Ds)   Off/On
   TpsTc         AvPvAa
   monitorTone:      On
   dynamicD:         On
   dynamicF:         Off
   SOS:            On
   Training Margin(Q4 in dB):   -1(DEFAULT)


Does yours look any different?

   i recommend moving to the B030SP08 firmware when it is convenient.   I found its 038 dsl driver a modest but significant improvement.

[roseway]

Thanks. I've flashed my other HG612 with the B030SP08 firmware, and I'll swap them tomorrow.

Here's mine (on an unmodified factory default config):

Sorry for going off topic, but..................

I'm not sure why mine doesn't show the VDSL2 profiles.

But the differences seem to be in these values:-
sra & dynamicF:


Any idea what dynamicF: is?

Regardless, my connection appears to have been more stable (mostly on fastpath) with the 08 version


Perhaps a separate thread would be worthwhile if it appears there is further mileage in discussing 06/08 performance differences?

[roseway]

I've no idea what dynamicD/F are, but you're right, it ought to go in a separate thread. I'll start one after I've swapped the modems tomorrow.

[Dray]

I think they are to do with DSM http://web.stanford.edu/group/cioffi/dsm/

[roseway]

That's an interesting one, thank you.
