New Netgear DM200 ADSL/VDSL2 modem
« on: July 08, 2016, 03:49:48 PM »

It appears Netgear have recently released a new ADSL/VDSL modem, the DM200. Seems to be reasonably priced @ around £40.

Anyone know which chipset it uses?

The contents of the firmware indicate it has a Lantiq VRX200 series chip (can't really tell which exact chip).
VDSL firmware version: 05.08.01.05.00.07
ADSL firmware version: 05.08.00.09.00.01

Those are slightly higher DSL firmware versions than I've seen anywhere else.

Edit: The Netgear GPL source code for the DM200 says it is the VRX220 chip (which I think is slightly more recent than the VRX268 in the ECI modems and BT HH 5a).

Meh  ??? was hoping it would have the latest and bestest broadcom chipset. Will stick with my rusty HG612. Thanks anyway!
