For your TT VDSL2 connection, have you tried GunJack as the username and dummy as the password? :-\

Attached talk talk FTTC settings
Can you post some screenshots of your config pages as that should help us diagnose the issue.
It's highly unlikely that it is physically faulty if it syncs with the line ok.
:)
I'll have a go with the phone number, see if that does it..... I would really like to get it going, especially as it syncs 7 meg more than the TT wifi hub....Something doesn't sound right here. As posted by meritez in the screenshot, TalkTalk use IPoE/DHCP on VDSL, not PPPoE. When you select IPoE on your Zyxel, the boxes for username and password should disappear since there can't be any authentication for a straight up IPoE connection (ignoring the Option 61 stuff Sky do). Are you sure you have IPoE selected?
@Broadstairs I was also wondering what that DHCP Option 60 is. I googled a bit and found your thread on the TT forum, where there was a post where the TT network people said it shouldn't be necessary. It seems to be a Vendor ID check (i.e. the router connecting to the service) for DHCP so if you have Zyxel modem/router it can't be right. ??? Or perhaps TT just ignore it.
Guys, the 5GHz wifi channel is there and available, but it's only single channel and so limited to (theoretical) 54Mb/s. The 2.4GHz is fine at 140Mb/s. I've been used to the TT Hub providing bonded(?) channels for 1400Mb/s on the 5GHz band, so maybe it's just that it's older and only uses single channel. If that's the case, so be it.....Are you sure it's not set to 802.11a only, as that would explain the 54Mbps top speed. Not sure where that setting is on your GUI but it's under 'Others' on the 5GHz wifi on my VMG8924.
p.s. Stuart, any comment on the fw version?

It's definitely not a single channel only device.
:)
Edited to add - I suspect setting it to 20 MHz channel width on the 5GHz side might do this too, as changing mine from 80MHz to 40MHz moves it from '802.11a/n/ac' to '802.11a/n' in the 'Others' tab' if that makes sense (haven't tried 20MHz to see what that does).
Generally a bad idea to enable wide channels on 2.4Ghz unless there are no other networks in range. Too many routers ignore the rules on auto-disabling that function if it clashes with another network.
The settings look correct so it should work. I assume there's not another router in close proximity broadcasting on the same channel?
:)
yes, the bl00dy SkyQ box, that creates it's own 5GHz to connect the remote boxes to it :( This was the source of the TT hub moving itself to ch.100 (my other thread about needing a new router) and away from all the client's wifi adapters...it's across chs 36-48..fixed
If I could get the Zyxel to operate on 52-64 that would be ideal.....
It looks like you've set the Zyxel to channel 52, so if that's still not working it might be because you have the sideband set to 'lower'. Try upper sideband setting to see if that makes a difference. It'd also be worth turning the Sky Q off for a bit just to confirm that it is that causing the problems.
:)
Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get chance....(i.e. when the Holy Sky box can be safely turned off lol)LOL
LOL
You can change the 8924 sideband setting as that'll only bin the 5GHz wifi for a few seconds while it swaps.
:)
Can anyone suggest any other free W10 or Android apps that might be better in this respect.Try WifiInfoView (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_information_view.html)
I have been reading this thread because I have VMG3925-B10C configured to use 5GHz. What I have found is that although Windows 10 itself displays the network and allows me to connect to it, W10 software called Acrylic Wifi which shows details of all local Wifi networks does not find the VMG3925-B10C 5GHz signal. It does find the 5GHz signals from other Zyxel routers and BT/Plusnet routers.

Are you interested in connecting to it via serial cable?
not really tbh, not got the kit, space or time... is that the only way??
To downgrade first give these commands from telnet or ssh using the admin account:
zycli fwidcheck off
zycli modelcheck off
Then try to load the firmware.
That 'J1' version of your firmware is an ISP special and will be why it won't let you load the standard version. The telnet commands that @meritez gave should allow you to load stock firmware.
A word of caution though, I tried this on a Post Office version and the firmware did upload but I ended up locked out (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,25402.msg426223 and linked thread, also https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,24413 started by @quboid who had the same issue). The common ground in those threads is that the lockout happened following a factory reset, so that is best avoided if possible. I had to go the serial route to unlock it - which was actually a very interesting exercise.
Also note that there is a 5.13(AAVF13)C0 version available for the 3925-B10B which also works on the B10C you have.
:)
That makes perfect sense - the config page came pre-filled with plusnet details....
..and thanks for the other info, I'll have to dust off my (limited) telnet knowledge and get cracking..
oh, and p.s. got a link for that F13 C0 fw please?
@GunJack
ftp://ftp.zyxel.com/VMG3925-B10B/firmware/VMG3925-B10B_5.13(AAVF.13)C0.zip
Thanks for that :)
...
...but telnet won't connect, tries to and then just shuts itself down - has the plusnet fw disabled telnet in the router maybe??
..answers on a post(card) please???
...
Is telnet enabled in the Maintenance>Remote MGMT menu?
@GunJack any chance you can post your current settings for your 5ghz?
I've just powered mine up, it has auto 100, 20/40/80mhz and I can connect at 866Mbps 5ghz from my phone, I do not have access to anything tri-band 5ghz at present
hope it's clear enough....
Yes, you are on a DFS channel, aka channel 52.
There's a detailed article here: http://wifinigel.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-5ghz-problem-for-wi-fi-networks-dfs.html
If that's tl;dr (too long didn't read) in the UK/EU, channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 are not subject to DFS.
Can you try channel 36 and let us know if that's any better, you may be experiencing False DFS Detection.
I do, and that's exactly what it's showing ;)
my issue is, why won't it operate on multi-channel unless it's in some way borked. The TT hub works multi-channel alongside the Q box, another reason I'm thinking it's the zyx.
....the really annoying thing is that the 2.4GHz band will operate on multi-channel!!! as I did it by accident while trying to set up the 5GHz..
It sounds like the TT hub is working under protest if it resets itself to a higher channel every night. I think the Zyxel is just being less accommodating and is flatly refusing to work on the lower channels in the congested environment. Do you not have a single device that can work in the channel 100 range as that would prove or disprove the point?

Finally got round to testing the triband 5ghz, I have one device syncing with a wireless throughput of 1170, on the last ever firmware for the vmg3925.
just out of interest, which version is that and where can it be downloaded from please? TIA
V5.13 / (AAVF.17)C0 is what I'm currently running.
I also have V5.13 / (AAVF.14)C0 but the last publicly available is V5.13 / (AAVF.13)C0.

thanks both...
I'm on V5.13(AAVF.13)J1 fw..I can't see what version is on that one linked to..
I'll have to have more of a delve into the UI and see what's there....
