Hi,

I recently picked up cheap HG612 3B from ebay, I have it unlocked using Howlingwolf's firmware B030SP08 obviously.

I can't somehow manage to make TD-W9980 work as a wireless router in front of HG612 3B.

I plugged ethernet cable between LAN1 on H612 3B and LAN4(WAN) port on W9980 and another ethernet cable between LAN2 on HG612 3B and LAN1 on W9980, then I plugged another ethernet cable between W9980 and my PC. Then I restored factory settings on W9980 and had set it up as wireless router. DSL lead is plugged into HG612. I can see sync etc. @ 192.168.1.1 but unfortunately no internet connection.

What am I doing wrong? Should I change something in HG612 3B or W9980? I didn't have to change anything when I was using HH5B + HG612 3B though.

Each device (the HG612 and the W9980) should have a unique address on the same sub-net.

I know that the default IPv4 address of the HG612 is 192.168.1.1, so the W9980 will need to have an IPv4 address on the same 192.168.1.X sub-net . . . It can be any convenient address between 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254, inclusive.

In the case of a HG612 and a HH5B, the default IPv4 addresses of each device is 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254, respectively.

Edited to add: I have just read your recent post in the "HIGH PINGS and LOWERED SYNC - after over year of fastpath" thread where you say that both devices are assigned to use the same IPv4 address. That, indeed, is the problem.

I changed W9980's LAN IP to 192.168.1.2 and still no internet connection. I can access both devices @ 192.168.1.1 for HG612 and 192.168.1.2 for W9980.
I can see my stats using DSLstats but the app is unable to determine my IP address.

In W9980's settings when I click renew It won't assign any IP address or anything.


What is going on? I am about to throw them out of the window.

Have you checked the operation mode?

I managed to make it work, had to choose PPPoE and type in BT's username and password.

I am now uploading stats to mydslwebstats.co.uk / username: N0STIE

Can anyone have a look at my stats? I think the error rate are pretty low but will wait till evening.

  The error rates which determine whether or not fast path is lost and interleaving is imposed seem to be rather larger than the levels needed to switch back from interleaved to fast path.  This is obviously necessary as interleaving greatly reduces the error rates.  I don't believe that we have reliable guidance for the ES levels needed to remove interleaving.  Others may have  reliable numbers but in the past my impression was that those with interleaved error rates are less that ~20-30 ES per day, for each and every single day of a few weeks, usually recover fast path.  Someone else may be able to offer better guidance.

   If your ES rate is only fraction to high then a speed cap on the HG612 may well get fast path back.  With it back you can monitor the errors and probably raise the speed cap.

Thanks les for post!

My ES are 42 on DS and 21 on US with uptime of 19 hours, is it really that bad?

And how do I cap speed on HG612 to lower the ES? My DS SnR always drops below 6dB no matter what and this might be why the errors increase.

I am asking myself why nostie is not on fastpath but is on interleaved there must have been a situation which caused the errored seconds to go above 2880 (DLM SPEED PROFILE) or to many re-syncs

True, this surely isn't due to too many resyncs, must have been something which caused ES to go above 2880 as you said.

Just tried to cap sync on HG612 by going in to telnet and typing in xdslcmd configure --maxDataRate 40000 10000 50000 but it doesn't seem to work.

Below is the screenshot of it.

  To speed cap see http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,16427.0.html and the posts that follow.  I would suggest first trying a cap to 35Mb/s and if they are still occasionally more than ~20 per day try 30Mb/s to be sure that errors are low enough for the to DLM react after its usual long wait.   Once fast path returns move the cap up in stages and see how the errors rise then stop when you have a good safe margin of say 50%.   If G.INP ever returns to ECI's a cap should not be needed.

  Whether it is worth it depends on what priority you give to  fast path vs speed.   In my use I never noticed my speed caps but did notice interleaving.

Well, I typed xdslcmd configure --maxDataRate 40000 10000 50000 exactly as in your other topic. It doesn't seem to work, or modem restart needs to be done?

[burakkucat]

You need to enter the Busybox shell before invoking that "xdslcmd configure blah blah" command line.

So --

• Login to the HG612
• At the ATP> prompt enter sh and press the <Enter> key.
• At the # prompt, then enter the xdslcmd configure --maxDataRate 40000 10000 50000 command line (for example) and press the <Enter> key.

it won't work as you set the upload to 10000

[NewtronStar]

35000 DS + 7000 US = 42000 not that 50000 you used

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow as I am really hoping DLM wil put me back on fast path this night/early morning after switching modems.

Why not? I thought Infinity 1 US cap is 10000 anyway so it doesn't matter? I'd do 40000 10000 = 50000 first instead of 35000
