@ balb0wa - I'll pm you the details because I dont think the version I have has yet been officially released for public.  1.00(AAKL.4)b2  - V100AAKL4b2


 Despite that I find it the most stable and the one which fixes most of the issues.   idb is also using this same version too.

Im also unsure if the quick start setup works for vdsl2 and you will likely need to edit the vdsl2 interface.  Details how to do that are here

Good luck

thanks, ive just messaged you asking if its ok to flash to the latest without doing any other update, i emaile zyxel this morning, they replied this afternoon saying that no firmwares have been released for it at all.

"Robert, there are no firmware updates available for this model, 1.00(AAKL.0) is the only firmware available" i think you got a similar response on here.

In view of the amount of people wanting this firmware, Ive now set up a separate thread for firmware information 

ZyXel VMG8324-B10A Firmware

[Balb0wa]

been having a play with mine, cant seem to be able to change the wireless channel, don't think its possible is it?

[les-70]

Mine arrived today at 16.30 so I have not done much at all apart from a settings scan.  I had the wireless channel issue with the supplied firmware but not with the recommended updated firmware that kitz has made available.  Which version are you using?

  by the way firmware has returned to the zyxel web site but only the dodgy version already in the supplied device.

[Balb0wa]

im using the latest one, 1.00(AAKL.4)b2  , I updated it in one go though, not the previous ones, hmm

[les-70]

After the update I did paper clip  reset.  i.e. powered up and press reset for 10sec. Sometimes old settings linger.

Yes that sorted it, cheers ;-)

  Instant report which may well change.  Only a 1Mb/s increase in speed with the Zyxel i.e. attainable 78 to 79.  Otherwise it seems to work OK with no obvious issues but a rather slow boot up time.

This is my before and after, i still think id get better upload if BT stuck me on a 40/10 profile instead of 40/2  tried, and they wont shift me, although its contract renew time this week , so i may well have another go.

Your attainable upstream speed is well below 2000 kbps so changing to a 40/10 profile will not make any difference.

Im not so sure, im on a 2 upload profile, it pumps 2 out , i get about 40% of it , if it pumped 10 out so to speak, would i not get 2-4 upload?

Im pretty sure, back when i was put on this trial , a few others on it, asked to be put on a 10 up profile and they got a boost.

We only got on the trial as they quoted below 15 download.

[Ronski]

It doesn't work like that, the modem will always report what it thinks your attainable is regardless of what speed package your on. If you have interleaving applied to your connection then the attainable will almost certainly be a fair bit higher than what is achievable.

The others would have had a higher attainable speed than 2, hence when put on 10 they got a boost.

I'm having a hell of job trying to get the Zyxel to connect to my PlusNet FTTC - it just states that it can't connect and the DSL light is orange.

I've set everything up according to the setup guide, but with no luck...  The password & username is correct, although I'm wondering if a character (&) in the password could be causing the problem.

[les-70]

  If you are using the supplied firmware or even the latest on the Zyxel web site it just won't work on FTTC.  You need a firmware update see http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=13930.0  After it is uploaded and restarted it is best to also do a factory reset with paper clip press on the reset on back for 10 sec.

   If you are using the updated firmware then check against the kitz guide, there is a link in the second post of the above thread.

Didn't get anywhere with the firmware updates, so I'm going to send it back and get a refund...
