Hi, I have a thread over here in the ISP sub section
https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,25695.0.htmlThat thread started out with which ISP should I go with, to getting a new modem/router for testing, to posting stats, to asking general questions about the VMG-8924 etc so I will continue to update that thread with line stats until I request a dlm reset or initiate a ISP switch.
So, anyone who has been following my other thread knows I replaced the BT Hub 5 with a Zyxel VMG-8924. Partially set it up the other day but I might be missing a setting or two that should be turned on or off from the defaults. I modified the VDSL page and changed the PPP username and password to get connected to the internet, setup the wireless devices, ticked some things in the Lan/Wlan and Wan section of the Remote Management page, changed the time/date and that was about it.
This was the firmware to begin with 1.00(AAKL.10)C0_20151008 and I updated to 28-tel-stats1.1-cmd. Nobody mentioned at the time that I need a supervisory password, downgrade, telnet into TR069 and disable some feature to prevent John Lewis from forcing a firmware update and at the same time removing any trace of JL. Is there a way I can do this without a factory reset and starting the whole process again?
Another question I have is in regards to IPTV. I managed to assign the IPTV with a IP address but it keeps on losing the IP, as well as that the guide keeps on messing up and the streamed channels are stuttering/buffering continuously. This wasn't an issue before changing routers. Do I need to do something in the router settings?. I don't think I have configured the IPTV properly with the router. Every other device connected over ethernet and wifi is working at the moment. PC's, mobiles, Switch, Ipad, Netflix and Amazon streaming through the TV. I was trying to reflash the IPTV box through Putty and it's not having it. Unable to resolve host address - DNS name resolving. This is where the complication comes in from a router/modem that is designed for people who know what they are doing. Simple minded people like myself have always used basic pre-configured HUB's. Don't have a clue what I'm doing.
Appears the XBOX app is also having a problem on the PC with nat types and server connectivity with Teredo is unable to qualify - blocked
Now a few general questions. How do I disconnect wifi devices from the router page? In the HUB 5 I could just hover over a device and disconnect it. Another question is where is the information for the total data usage used?
