. . . you mentioned "routinely clear the ROM-D" So do i have to keep doing it if i needed to factory reset the VMG1312-B10A after a firmware update?

Sorry, my statement was a little imprecise. Whenever I obtain a (new to me) ZyXEL VMGnnnn-B series device, one of the first steps i take is to clear the ROM-D. Thus the clearing of the ROM-D is one of the steps I perform, by routine.  ;)

Unless data is explicitly saved there (or is uploaded to that location) then once cleared the ROM-D remains cleared.

[Edited to fix typo.]

Thanks for that i think i understand now. :) And how would one go about clearing the ROM-D? Thank you.

If someone could help me dig out the link to the firmware it will save me a job, or having to post it up myself.

I can certainly provide the link to the seventeen page thread (titled "BCM63168 Modems that Support Baby Jumbo Frames (Bridge Mode)") which covers the entire discussion and creation of johnson's own modified firmware images.

. . . how would one go about clearing the ROM-D?

If logged into the "supervisor" account via the GUI there is a menu option to perform the deed, otherwise via the CLI (ssh or telnet) the magic incantation is "save_default clean".

Just to make sure i got this right is this the correct one? 1.00(AAJZ.14)C0 + Jumbo Frames? Thank you Burakkucat

Thank you Burakkucat means a lot is it hard to obtain the Supervisor password?

For a VMG1312-B10A it is quite simple. It would be best if you look at the various topics here. (For example, this post should help.)

I think so but as I don't use the customised firmware perhaps Weaver (or A.N.Other) would be able to confirm?

You do NOT need modified MTU firmware.
As you use Talktalk FTTC you already have full 1500 byte MTU.

The issue with other ISP's is they use PPP which uses 8 bytes.
This means they can be limited to an MTU of 1500 - 8 (PPP) = 1492.

The modified firmware created by OliPro on Github, and then more recent versions being built by Johnson here on kitz, allows those using PPP (PPPoE) to have a 1500 MTU (1500 + 8 for PPP = 1508 bridged over the modem) rather than being limited to 1492.

That link earlier is not the version I use now. It is to be found here : https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,21685.msg384925.html#msg384925

That is the one I talked about with the stats web server function, which I absolutely love.

J0hn points out that you don’t need MTU 1508 for PPP. But you might fall in love with this enhanced version that also has the stats web server function.

A slight correction to the above is required --

sed 's/PPP/IPoE/'

-- as TT use IPoE for their FTTC, VDSL2 (ITU-T G.993.2) based, service.

Thanks guys got my fingers crossed i don't mess anything up  :fingers:

So here's all the infomation i've gathered so far

1. Login to a telnet session with username: admin/1234 to recover the "supervisor" password by a dumpmdm command
2. Login to the Supervisor account via GUI go to the Maintenance > Configuration page. Select the ROM-D tab and then left-click on the Clean button.
3. Update the FW to the one Weaver gave to 1312-B10A-AAJZ16-SNRM-log.bin
4. Factory reset by the pin at the back
5. Set it up

Anything else im missing?

I realise what I wrote was ambiguous, I should have written "1508, which is for PPP".

So that firmware you mentioned should i still get it or stick to the official zyxel firmware? I'm confused sorry  :D
