typical one week after I flashed.

thanks.

I am grabbing both incase they pull it so I can share if that happens.  This firmware has a new dsl driver but for some odd reason its only for the AXL not the NL.

[adslmax]

I agree about dsl driver is for AXL and not NL. Seem unfair! 

Why is the new firmware drop 1Meg on the upload speed test.

Before on stock old firmware:

Now on new firmware:


Not happy with upload drop 1Meg with new firmware. What has caused this?

[adslmax]

I have downgraded back to my old firmware 2.32d.dh14.afw and now waiting for the first 30 minutes before turn my router on. (because of DLM 30 minutes rule)

Hopefully it should resolved my upload speed back to normal at 17.8Meg!

There are all sorts of reasons why actual transfer speeds vary from time to time. There's no reason to assume that the firmware change was responsible. What were the connection speeds before and after?

connection speed was the same as before on old and new firmware. Same SNR, Same Line Attenuation, Same Sync Rate on both downstream and upstream on 79999K/20000K and same max line rate on 104000K/36000K.

Then it's very unlikely that the firmware change was responsible.

[adslmax]

The upload speed is now restored on old firmware!



Something wrong with billion new firmware as I think they adjusted QoS Port Shaping etc on the upstream

[Chrysalis]

there is no change to the dsl driver max on the 2 firmwares.

[adslmax]

I ain't bother. I am happy with old firmware and stick with it. Because I am not having my upload speed drop of 1Meg off, no thanks.

[Chrysalis]

I get 17.xx on new firmware.

Also speedtest.net cannot even max out the upstream due to small send buffers, only the .nl ookla server could do it, but that server seems to be gone now.

TBB is a better tester.

[adslmax]

I test it via BT Wholesale and TBB with new firmware still on 16Meg on TBB and 15 Meg on BTw! The old firmware get nearly 18Meg now on BTw and 19Meg on TBB.

[Chrysalis]

fine for me but I am using it in bridge mode and you are using it in router mode.

I suggest max try again tomorrow and check the options, see if anything QoS related is turned on by default, this may then help others, instead of giving up so easy.

[adslmax]

What is bridge mode? Does it mean it using VDSL modem only and connection to other router?

Think it means to allow additional routers to connect to the network without conflicting with the DHCP/NAT server. Additional routers may extend the network's wireless range and/or enable additional wired connections for clients and devices.
