have you asked Draytek about G.INP support on your device?

I think the current firmware is G.INP 'friendly". IOW it doesn't fully support it but it won't do anything to impede it. There is some firmware on the international ftp site which may support it properly, but that's to be confirmed.

Support haven't got back to me yet, but if that's correct I'll setup the Zyxel which I know does support it.

[Edit] Just got an email from my ISP to say my cabinet has not been G.INP enabled yet and, having checked with BT they couldn't say when it would be.

OK well will have to see what they say about it.

Who is your ISP, I'm with Plusnet and they said they couldn't check whether G.INP was on a line at the moment, and said it "didn't appear to be" but obviously as I found... It was!

If you do have a HG612 modem then it might be worth updating it and connect it up to check whether or not it is active or not.

I'm with iDNet. Apparently they contacted BT who (no surprise) weren't able to tell them anything other than they're in the process of rolling it out. I would have thought iDNet would be able to tell from their end but obviously not.

I do have one but it's not unlocked - in fact I only used it briefly until I got the Zyxel set up. Didn't really like the Zyxel UI which I found confusing, although it did the job.

I've always had a soft spot for Drayteks having used them in the past, so I got the 2760. This has been flawless, although it doesn't have the range of options that the Zyxel does.

I'm aware of the issues you have using the HG612 with the Draytek 2760, I too would be a bit ......

But it may be good for both of us to get a better idea of the issue if you temporarily setup the HG612... before hand obviously unlock it (which is pretty easy to do)

Even if it means only having it connected for a few hours, it will show us if G.INP has been activated on your line..

I will ask Zen if they can do something about it.

I'm using a standard Openreach ECI modem so would be interested if you find anything out

Was that link meant for me?
I'm interested in how the Openreach ECI modem will work with G.INP, I couldn't see that mentioned?

I've read that an automatic firmware upgrade is required for the ECI modem to use G.INP. I've also read that once the firmware has been upgraded and the line uses G.INP then a standard ECI modem running old firmware will have problems making a connection.

I can see this causing issues for people that have a spare ECI modem and start to use it for troubleshooting as with the old firmware it won't work. Lots of people keep spare kit for fallback - again this will cause issues if it's running old firmware.

As the Openreach ECI modem is locked a customer can't maintain/upgrade the firmware themselves.

If I'm correct in thinking this I can see all sorts of issues.
The ECI modem is in use by lots of people, so I am keen to know how this will work.

i would agree with your thought 's on this, for as long as it will require a reset of DLM by a engineer before the ECI modem can update it's firmware on any line that has had G.inp enabled, as once this has happened the ECI doesn't work,
Although some eci modem users are reporting higher latency and a legacy interleave profile But either way the ECI is made obsolete as it cannot function as intended until a dlm reset is done,Maybe BT will start to allow ISP's control in order to perform this remotely as no physical work at the cab is needed by engineers just a phone call to request it
