How else would the dsl port on the netgear achieve a sync of 35mbps?

Anyway that is an aside, does anyone know how the netgear settings I posted translate? I presume I need to put the vci settings 0 38 under atm, link eoa, encap vcmux, the wan bit then confuses me again at a guess I slect atm, but then not sure where the ptm transfer mode of the netgear fits in?

I was going to ask the same question as this post. I am however in mainland UK.

My router is Asus RT-N16 and if i take fibre I gather any box I get will likely be a combined modem/hub from BT, Sky etc instead of the old Openreah modem? Anyone know how true this is ?

As I guess i won't be able to hack these hubs to make them modem only I was thinking I should buy an old Openreach modem off ebay and use that with my router.

Apart from Sky's wierd config set up I'd need to do to get it working (on my router i assume? ) is there anything else I'd need to be aware of trying to do this?

Apparently they used to.

MrSaffron's post sent me googling, and there are references to it being withdrawn from the product. Hence my later comment about the one the poster's employer has being a withdrawn item.

Both BT and Sky are doing an all in one box. You might also try asking the installer if they have a spare modem on the van so you can use a different router, they could be obliging. Or you can get one from eBay.

Eventually I expect all routers will have in-build VDSL modem options, as we had with ADSL.

Well Netgear doesn't think it has a VDSL modem. Weird.

Linky.

Neither does the v2 according to its User Manual.

You said earlier about having altered some settings in the HG612? Or did I misunderstand what you posted?

I didn't say it will support VDSL as a modem on this router. U can use VDSL on the ethernet wan port to enabled it and connected it to openreach modem. So, u can enjoy 4 spare ports and high performance wifi on this router.

Other ISP's still seem to be using a standalone router and the OR modem. That is what I got this week from Plusnet

Netgear VEVG3700 support VDSL2 Internet service (with ADSL2/2+ Fallback and Annex L/M compatible)

Interesting, my DGND3700 v1 dates from June 2011 and I now assume that this feature had been withdrawn by then.

Please, if possible, could you post a snapshot of the Netgear router statistics pop-up (from the router status page) where it shows this? Or did I miss this earlier?

Thank you.

Looks like it will probably be £200+ and I could find no mention on whether it supports vectoring, but will assume it does, wonder if it will have a Y lead like the Fritz! box, to be able to use Telephony

Note the firmware version.

Also, there is no "VDSL" setting in the options, it is set to auto.


Good news , I got the hg612 working in routed mode so at east I know it is compatible with the line. Now just to work out how to bridge it properly.
