Hi pippo and welcome.

Unfortunately I dont know the answer to your question.  Asbokid may well have been able to help, but he's away atm and we're not sure when he will be back.

Thank you for that info Alec.  Im interested in the wifi aspect and observations.

For some reason I seem to have a 'dead spot' in my lounge. Since this deadspot is also the location of the TV, it proved troublesome for the media-system which wouldnt work well with wifi until I got the TG582n.  I dont have the Media System any more, but I do have a smart TV currently connected to a PN TG582n which is used for streaming.

Right, I've discovered that this router (similarly to the TG582N) doesn't handle fluctuating SNRM well. When the SNRM dropped from 6 to 3dB, the connection was so slow web pages wouldn't load. I restarted the router and this rectified the problem, but resulted in a much lower speed.

It's worth mentioning that a BT Home Hub 3 handled fluctuating SNRM much better and the internet remained working even whenever the SNRM dropped to 1dB.

Hi.
Is anyone using one of these as a FTTC modem/router?
I'd just like to confirm that QOS is configured to work in this configuration, maybe by running the cli command "ipqos queue stats" and seeing if there are any packet counts against the rules.

I've been playing around with a TG582N with plusnet FTTC firmware which doesn't seem to have QOS enabled when connecting through PPPoE on the WAN port.

Just an update: my TG589 will shortly be leaving me. I am not happy with its performance (both ADSL and WiFi are poor) and I have gone back to the HH3.

  I picked up cheap an ex ZEN one of these on ebay.  I notice that it has an xdsl maxspeed rx=...  tx=... command but it seems to have no effect at all on vdsl.   A google finds the same issue with adsl lines but command not working on adsl would seem consistent with the equivalent command on other broadcom modem also not working on adsl but just vdsl.  I tried giving rx and tx  as rate in bytes, kilo bytes, and megabytes in case it was just a format issue but the command is just accepted with no action or complaint when I use it.  Maybe some subtle extra prod is needed?

   Has anyone got this command to work on FTTC and if not please might someone using one try the command?

How's the performance, les-70?

[les-70]

  It is not in use at the moment but the modem performance was similar to a HG612 when it was tried.  The wireless was OK but not brilliant, and for me the main annoyance is the odd GUI and lack of full stats over telnet.  I would like to cap the sync speed to test it with exactly the same sync as I normally cap to.

Hello, old thread, but new remark here.
I am a Fastweb Italy customer, and received this modem by default. It works well but shows some signs of age.
In particular it has an internal DNS cache host, reducing the queries, but it now crashes regularly and only a modem reboot makes it work again. I was wondering if someone has a CLI command to restart the DNS part.

As another topic, I was wondering if someone has a suggestion for a successor model. Fastweb proposes new modems, but they are much less manageable, no telnet access. Thanks for any track to follow.

Have a great day, xgiannak
