I have just gone to a 1 box configuration now with my VMG8924-B10A on the 8b2 firmware. Now to see how it performs on its own.

Hi

Wow, been up and running on the ZyXEL with the beta 8 firmware for over 24 hours now, that's a first, so fingers crossed it remains that way. 

Regards

Mine has been up for 3.5 days using 8b2 firmware.
A small amount of memory loss but nothing like the loss I was getting.

My 8924 has now been up all day without the HG612 and seems fine. For now I have DSLStats issuing the meminfo command every 2 hours just to see how things go, if all OK after another 24 hours I'll stop the command. I do have max data rate set to limit my connection to 64995 kbps at present as when I did not use this my error rate was too high.

dumb question:if i haven't configured NAT,in system status is it right a Nat session usage different from zero?

[PhilipD]

Hi

Yes, the NAT figure you see is the router keeping track automatically of connections going out via a single IP address to know where to forward them to when received back.  Unless you have a block of static IP addresses assigned to each internal device the router will be using NAT.

Hi, all, total novice here and i have the VMG8924 which i believe has been working perfectly for the week or so i have had it straight out the box and after following the set up guide on here.

i don't know what firmware i am using or how to upgrade it but i dont really  want to change anything as i have no problems that i am aware of but wondered if somebody would take a look at my stats and firmware and tell me what i actually have and if its good ?

I have done one reboot as i have only had the FTTC inifinity via plusnet for a few weeks and noticed the speed had dropped from 38mb to 20mb so did a quick reboot which brought it back up straight away.
The only problem is, i don't know what i should post for somebody to check..

I am not using a separate modem, it is wired straight to my BT mk3 filtered face plate via an ethernet cable up into my loft and down into my spare bedroom.

Any ideas much appreciated.

I'm still using one of the older f/w versions, so if you are happy and not seeing any problems then you can leave things alone if you wish.

As  regard to stats - do you have DSLstats installed?  Contents of the Stats tab or preferably from the  Telnet data > Connection stats is a good place to start

[spotter]

Ok, thanks, i have installed DSLstats, although i am using windows 7 64 bit the 32 bit version seems to work and my router wasn't listed so i selected the nearest and that also seems ok.
i have attached what i found and also my f/w version.

One question i was going to ask is that my max d/l speed says 46 mb but plusnet wouldn't allow me to buy the faster speed as they couldn't guarantee my speeds would exceed 40 mb, which is fair, so it is limited to 40 mb. I have never seen it above 39 mb, but is that because they limit it to 40 mb or would it be 39 mb even if it was the up to 80 mb service?

Its a little frustrating but i think where i am i am at the end of the copper wire as my mate around the corner can get 78 mb, so can my parents at the other end of the village and the next village along from us who share our exchange must have had a fibre cable installed to them as my friend there can also get 78 mb.

i did a check with the BT site by putting in various phone numbers and my neighbour can only get 38 mb as well so i dont think i have a problem.

Thanks

G.INP is not active on your connection (it may benefit from it being applied).
DS Interleaving depth is fairly high at 753 & INP/delay have been applied (this is restricting sync speed by maybe 1.5 Mbps on your capped 40 Mbps service)
SNRM is around the target 6dB level (so not much hope of speed improvement unless interleaving is removed or G.INP is applied)


This could be due to:-

a) Being connected to an ECI DSLAM or
b) Being connected to a Huawei DSLAM that has not yet been updated to be G.INP capable.
c) The ZyXel's firmware needs updating??

Your firmware is too old the latest version is 1.00AAKL8C0....you should also upgrade 3G package;the last 3G package is 1.11....

Run the BT diagnostic speed test (further diagnostics) to find your IP Profile. If you can sync above 40 the BT IP Profile will be whatever can be achieved while the Plusnet current line speed will be 40. If the IP Profile is not above 40 you won't gain anything.

[spotter]

Thanks for the replies, some of that is way over my head as i and my local cabinet is brand new to fibre as it has only been enabled for a few weeks.

i have attached a pic of the bt test. When i did that the other day it was showing downstream as 46 mb and now it has dropped to 37 mb and i checked the plusnet portal current line speed which was at 40 and is now 37. the only thing i have changed is adding the DSLstats but that may be completely unrelated.

What's the procedure for updating the F/W please ?
 

[spotter]

Is this the correct firmware, i downloaded it from the Zyxel download library ? - V1.00(AAKL.7)C0.bin
