1st post - Hi all!
I just acquired the Vigor 166 (UK version) and an Asus ax11000 to connect to our current service (BT Infinity 2 FTTC 76/20). We've had this service since 2011 and over the years acquired every model of BT hub as the only fix BT seem to have to any complaint is to send a new hub. As it happens, I also still have the old HG612 3B from years ago.
First, hopefully this saves someone else time as I wasted a good day trying to figure this one out: The 166 UK manual clearly states that the default IP of the modem is 192.168.1.1, this is
It is actually 192.168.2.1
I saw coincidentally that the v130 ip is different and I was out of options so thought worth the punt, and it worked
Second, after setting up and connecting everything together, the WAN connection keeps cycling on/off every 5-10 minutes.
After some fruitless troubleshooting (the Router logs only show that WAN was terminated) and not being able to access the Modem's webui (because of the IP issue I mentioned above), I swapped the Draytek for the HG612 and its been steady for 24hrs without any disconnects.
I will post a follow-up once I find the time to reconnect the Draytek and be able to access the webUI to get more info about why it might be disconnecting (SNR? DLM?). Any suggestions?
FYI
1) the UK version ships already in bridge mode (with service tag 101 configured) so in theory should work out of the box
2) connecting master socket--> v166 modem -->Router
3) The router WAN config was copied from the HH (PPPoE, username, dynamic IP)
4) everything booted up, lights green, internet working but disconnects and reconnects every 5-10 mins
