You don't really have two different sync rates, the ones labelled "Mbps" are in some weird mix of units which makes no real sense:

Upstream: 20000 / 1024 = 19.53
Downstream: 79462 / 1024 = 77.6

Right got you, thanks the clarification.

In case anyone is interested, I think the VRX288 is pretty much the same as the VRX268, but the VRX288 in addition can be a gateway for connecting analog telephones to VoIP services. But the DrayTek (and also FritzBox) devices have the advantage of being provided with better Lantiq DSL firmware than the ECI modems and HH5A seem to have got (so far?).

I'm after a new Modem, I don't need wireless, in fact I'd rather it not have wireless as I want to use the ASUS router. What's the best options for me? Lantiq chipset prefered please.

I've looked up and I suppose it would have to be the draytek vigor 2760 which has wireless but can always disable it.

The Vigor 2760 does not have wireless, I have one. It has 4 x 1Gb ethernet ports. The Vigor 2760n is the same but with wireless.

Thanks for that, does it get regular firmware updates like the other modems?

[atkinsong]

Yes it does, but it is a modem/router not just a modem. The Vigor 130 is just a modem.

Does the 130 have the same chipset as the 2760? Because that may be the better option for me as I want to use my own router.

Cheers!

Though when I looked at a 130 it only has one lan port so not sure if you would be able to get stats when its connected to a non draytek router at the same time.
No doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong..

Good point, yeah if someone could please clarify.

I'm not aware of any easy method to access the 130 line stats without it being connected to a Draytek router.

Another option would be to use a 2760 (non wireless) as the router, and use the Asus router simply as a Wireless Access Point.

I'll have to bite the bullet and got for the 2760 I think. I'm just trying to budget as much as possible. The main reason for purchase is for the line stats so its the one I need.

Thanks everyone!

[JoshShep]

Just bit the bullet haha got the Vigor 2760n for £65 used good good condition, couldn't pass on that! Love eBay sometimes! 

[JoshShep]

Just a quick question, when I receive the new modem, how do I set it up so I can use my ASUS as the router? is there any guides online for this?
