OP,
How did you get rid of the red spikes on your TBB BQM? I've switched off DoS and enabled ICMP in trust mode but to no avail - see screenshot below from 8pm onwards. BtW i'm using the VMG1312 in bridge mode connected to my Linksys EA8500 router. Also is it possible to COMPLETELY switch off the status LEDs?

  I was using the VMG1312 as a modem +router and ended up with dos protection enable and icmp blocked on the gui.  I then used telnet to send the npr's command   iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 80.249.99.0/24 -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT to enable the BQM.  That worked well for me.

   If your in bridge mode the needed settings will be in the  Linksys EA8500 and not in the VMG1312.  I can't help re a Linksys EA8500.

   On the VMG1312 under power management you should be able to turn the LED's off but i have not tried it.

Thanks Les-70. The Linksys EA8500 is already configured to accept 'anonymous ping requests' and works fine with my HG612, ie no red spikes on my TBB BQM:

Anyway i've given up on the Zyxel VMG1312, its far too buggy eg the GUI is slow as pants via wifi, only some of the LEDs get switched off when switching them off in GUI and obviously i can't get the TBB BQM properly working. On the plus side the max attainable rate on my VDSL2 service has gone from 81mb/s to 84 mb/s but obviously the actual sync rate remains unchanged at 80mb/s.

I've gone back to my tried and trusted Huawei HG612 modem, if anyone wants to buy the Zyxel VMG121 off me pls drop me a PM. I paid £65 for it brand new on ebay a few days ago and i will accept £50 incl p&p. Its almost in a brand new condition and comes in original box, with all accessories included etc. Otherwise it will be sent to the rubbish tip :(
