Replacing ECI modem with Draytek 130.
« on: December 08, 2015, 09:30:20 PM »

Hi all,

Just looking at performing a few tweaks and wondered if it was worth swapping out my 4 year old Eci openreach vdsl modem for the Draytek?

Im not having any issues with the BTOR one, but just thought that a dedicated modem would be better?

Cheers!

If you are connected to a Huawei cab, you would be better off with a modem with a Broadcom chipset.

Ok thanks,

I understand that i am on an Eci cabinet so the Draytek would be ok?



Also.. apologies to the mods, i just realised i posted this in the wrong forum.

I can't see it being any different to the ECI tbh

The Vigor 130 is worth taking a look at. If you want to test one and have a competition with the ECI, then you would be doing something helpful to other kitizens if you posted up the results.
