Hey guys, I'm after some help with my HG612.
I've just purchased the item from ebay in preparation for a switch to fibre and am planning on using it with an ASUS RT-AC68U router. Before switching, I thought I'd give it a go on my current, normal broadband connection to check everything was OK. Not sure what to call what I'm wanting to do, but basically I want to plug my phone line into the router, an ethernet cable to either port 1 or 2 and connect to the internet, which I'm hoping is possible?
I've unlock the unit and flashed it with the latest SP_08 webgui FW and all seems good as I can now access all it's settings. Next, I followed the kitz wiki pages (
http://wiki.kitz.co.uk/index.php/Huawei_HG612_-_Basic) to configure the router however, it doesn't see a DSL signal? There's no DLS light on, it doesn't even flash then go out and, on the WAN status page, it shows as "DSL Synchronization Status - NoSignal"?
I'm therefore guessing either the device is defective (I've exchange a few emails with the person I bought it from who assures me it was working OK, albeit on a fibre connection without being unlocked), I'm missing something, doing something wrong or what I'm trying to do is not possible. The line works fine, and if I plug in my current router, the DSL light comes on immediately so I'm guessing the problem lies elsewhere?
If it helps, I can post some screen shots however, the settings are basically default following FW flash with changes as per the Wiki guide.
Thanks
