Shall I better off with Openreach Gfast Modem and use TP LINK VR 2600 wireless so I don't need the stats anymore as I know I am on 160/30 all ok. The wifi seem pant on Zyxel can't get over 80Meg via wireless.

Openreach engineer say DLM on gfast won't start until next day

@adslmax what firmware version have you got on your xmg3927, is your wireless set to combined ssid or separate?
I have just connected my xmg3927, so happy to diagnose a wireless issue

[adslmax]

I think we got big problem with Zyxel wireless on 5GHz as it seem very low speed around 55-79 down but upload was fine 28 up.

How will that cause you problems?

[adslmax]

I put Openreach G.fast Modem on it now and connected to TP Link VR2600 as a wireless only. The wifi much better now on TP Link 149/29 and openreach modem to pc ethernet are 151/29.

I shall leave as it now! Seem faulty Zyxel 5GHz wifi. Maybe firmware bug on wifi.

If @adslmax is downloading something, it'll take twice as long.
I would disable 802.11a in the 5ghz settings.

All sorted now. My daughter and I got 149/28 on wifi now. TP Link wireless are better. I don't understand why high Zyzel G.fast Router are very poor on 5GHz wifi.

But good news. No more stats now cos Openreach G.fast Modem (no stats) 

Will selling Zyzel G.fast Router

Are you sure the Zyxel is the issue? I'd try another wireless device before writing it off. Also, what are you doing on a phone that needs more than 80Mbps anyway?
 

[kitz]

Also what about distance from the unit?

Here is my G fast sig as I just added sig under my name for live BQM below

No problems here. I force 802.11ac only mode for the 5 GHz band. Since I have gone back to using a unified SSID for both 2.4 and 5 GHz, this is to keep non-ac devices off the 5 GHz band. 2.4 GHz is in 802.11b/g/n mixed mode.

I'm about 2m away and 5 GHz usually gives me 280-290 Mbps down. Add a couple of walls and it's still usually more than 100-150 Mbps.

You don't need to touch MESH unless you are making a mesh network.

I cannot answer for your problem due to the nature of wireless and the different variables involved, but I'd wager that the router is not at fault.

how to do this on Zyxel?

[kitz]

Nice.   You did the right thing getting 160/30. 
The 330/50 would be a waste of money as it wouldn't give you that much more speed - which is primarily why you were so unhappy with your last g.fast connection (and how you were unable to downgrade).

As you say, you can see your max speed from your modem is 186 Mbps and even the Openreach equip measured it at 210Mbps before any DLM applied.

Enjoy your nice new speeds

PS
I've edited your signature to encapsulate the link correctly.  Hope this is what you wanted to show.   

[adslmax]

Thanks Kitz  Yep, the ISP told me no point for 330/50 as you won't get it. They are honest saying 160/30 are more than enough for and my daughter anyway.

re0 - I have disabled Mesh. Force 5GHz wifi on 802.11 ac and 2.4GHz wifi on 802.11b/g/n mixed. But it need to reconnected again. Not sure if I can swap now because of DLM still active or inactive?

Will try that hopefully it should improved wifi. Further more I prefer one router in the wall socket as I need spare one for Homeplug Ethernet for CCTV as Openreach modem blocked that spare socket
