ZyXEL VMG8324-B10A Firmware
« on: May 08, 2014, 08:05:57 PM »

Ive decided to make a list of the firmwares for the VMG8324-B10A

Its now pretty well known that there are some issues with the default firmware, and its not my job to keep track of their firmware and constantly put it in PMs - especially when Zyxel are saying there isnt new firmware when there is.

So to save me the time of constantly repeating this Im making it public -  Ive spent too long trying to resolve the issues and then pass it on via PM.   If they want people to buy the router then Zyxel should make the firmware publicly available.

These are the versions of firmware that I have


1.   100AAKL2C0_20131205.bin      link
2.    V100AAKL3b2.bin      link
3.    V100AAKL4b1.bin   link
The above 3 must be installed in order. (3) wont work without (1) being installed first.
The following are cumulative and should work without earlier versions having to be installed:-

4.    V100AAKL4b2.bin  link - Stable / Recommended
5.    V100AAKL4C0.bin  link - Available from a Netherlands ISP but is in English
6.    V100AAKL5C0.bin  link - Available from a Netherlands ISP but is in English
7.    V100AAKL6b1.bin  link - Stable. Mirror
8.    V100AAKL6b2.bin  link
9.    V100AAKL6b3.bin  link
10.   V100AAKL6b4.bin  link
11.   V100AAKL6b5.bin  link
12.   V100AAKL6C0.bin - link - ftp://certified:zyxel@ftp.zyxel.it/firmware/VMG8924/
13.   V100AAKL7C0.bin - link - ftp://certified:zyxel@ftp.zyxel.it/firmware/VMG8924/V100AAKL7C0.bin
14.   V100AAKL8C0.bin - link - ftp://certified:zyxel@ftp.zyxel.it/firmware/VMG8924/


Please be aware that some of the above are beta versions and not officially released by ZyXel, so you install them at your own risk.

Updates:
Thank you manny2003, Jereon06, Ronski, Navrett, Clonc for sharing.

You may also need the following information:-

How to configure the ZyXel VMG8324-B10A for VDSL (UK).

I also recommend you use Chrome and not Firefox.   Firefox doesnt always save all the settings.

  I notice that all  VMG8324-B10A firmwares and files have disappeared from the Zyxel web site and ftp sites  ???  . There was one a week or so ago!  I hope this just means that new ones will shortly appear.  It may help explain "nothing available" responses from them.   It is very helpful that Kitz  is making them available here.

So they have, The only one I can find is 100AAKL0C0 which is the standard thats shipped with new routers.

iirc the one they had on offer previously was 1), so its a bit old hat now I guess as theres quite a few fixes since then. 3) had a lot of changes.
I cant understand why they havent made 4) available yet though, Ive had it nearly 4wks and it seems fine.

  Assuming you have the  ppoe setting and the vlan settings of 2 and 101 there is not much I can think of.  I did a hard reset after the firmware upgrade as some old settings can linger otherwise.

On this page of a Dutch ISP: http://www.tweak.nl/consument/support/firmware.html
You can find 2 firmware versions for the ZyXEL VMG8324-B10A, V1.00(AAKL.4)C0 and V1.00(AAKL.5)C0

They use an unbranded version of the ZyXEL VMG8324-B10A, so there is no problem using these  ;D

Thank you Jeroen06 and welcome :)

Do you know if these versions are an English or Dutch version?

Thanks!

The firmware is English, the V1.00(AAKL.4)C0 firmware over there has the same MD5 Hash (0e24ac41bce316e1392f4bd0456a46fd) as V100AAKL4C0.bin firmware in the startpost.
So it looks like they are generic english ZyXEL firmware  :)

I already flashed the newer V1.00(AAKL.5)C0 and it works great, soon my line will be upgraded to VDSL2 with Vectoring. I will be looking forward to share the results of using this modem with an Vectoring line  8)

Thank you, Jeroen06.
Very informative as the firmware includes some release notes and there is a config file as well on the site.
(Always interesting to see what 'tricks' are used in other ISP's standard configs. But I am just nosey that way !!  ;D )
Very interested in seeing what vectoring can do to your performance on VDSL2.

Neither of the firmwares on the Dutch site will flash to the unlocked F1000 from the Web GUI - gives "illegal image". The images will flash from cfe.

What is interesting is that, as Jeroen06 points out, the MD5 hash is exactly the same as the other UK firmware which will flash from CFE. This may prove key in understanding what ZyXel are up to.

My bad. The latest Dutch Firmwares will flash from CFE on the F1000. I picked up the wrong zyxel board. Edited above post to reflect this.

Hi guys,

So while doing some router research I stumbled upon this thread. I am planning on getting myself the VMG8924-B10A and was wondering whether the firmware for the 8324 would work - or whether I may lose the 802.11AC support?

If I am not able to use the 8324 firmware, any ideas where I might be able to get the latest firmware for the 8924?
I was contemplating getting the SBG3300-N or the VMG8924-B10A and I think the VMG might be a bit better?

Thanks,
Psy
