« on: November 11, 2015, 12:14:08 PM »

Plusnet have started doing self installs for FTTC from today for which they will be supplying the Home Hub 5A!

I think Bob Pullen is already aware that the HH5A doesn't support G.INP.

no G.INP and notorious for dropping the ppp session for no reason... what the hell are they playing at? Plusnet seem to be going down the tubes.

I'm a bit surprised actually, I read that the Technicolor 589nv3 and 589vac have managed to be "conditionally approved", so presumably that's some sort of conditional pass from the Openreach VDSL2 modem conformance testing. I assumed Plusnet would have gone with one of those.

Still no firmware update for G.INP down and up? :( I think someone is working on getting OpenWRT running on the HH5A, some soldering required to install it of course.

I suspect that jelv got it right. PlusNet is BT's bargain basement ISP.

G.INP does work on the HH5A Downstream only that is and the pppoe session drops for no reason well it seem to be every 14 days from this link https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity-Speed-Connection/BTHH5-rebooting-every-14-days-Type-A-only/td-p/1549724

Did you ask Bob Pullen? He knows if it does or not.

Re Bob Pullen
In the thread linked he stated
Quote
It's been a while since I looked at the G.INP stuff, but the Hub One behaves the same way as a model A BT Home Hub v5 in this respect (compatible on the downstream but not on the upstream?).

Using a Hub One, my line is in sync at 19999 / 79906 with a maximum attainable downstream of 88875kbp

I think if he replaces that with a HH5 type B his sync would be 79999.

Now I won't be using it but it just occurs to me that it might be a cheap way of getting 4 port (all Gigabit) VDSL switch with a/n/ac wireless if I could set it up to work off my 8800NL in bridge mode
Is this liable to be possible

The HH5 will function as a router only with a bridge modem plugged into its WAN port.

You may be able to see in the event log that the printer keeps on connecting to and disconnecting from the wifi.
