Tried that ...

Don;'t think I have changed the address on this one. It was an un-hacked version.

Can you get the firmware upload page up still... if so might be worth trying to install firmware again...

I think I had to fiddle with the Web GUI version a bit before it worked

I can, on 192.168.1.1 and that was my next move - to upload again.

I'll add the next part here too!

TRied reloading 030SP08 WebGui again - failed, then tried 030SP08 Unlocked - same failure, so went back to 030SP06 and tried that with a "Long Reset" It worked and I had access.

Could see I was connected at 77Mbps ... better than the ECI at 65 ish. So, tried loading 030SP08 again and it works - access. First speedtest was up and down from mid 60s in 70+ which may well be due to it being 5:00 pm and school kids!

Latency has dropped from the ECIs 18 ms down to around 12ms of maybe less - not quite as good as I have had before however better than the 20+ I was getting with 028SP10.

Need to leave it running and see what happens and if my "latency spikes" reappear or have gone.

edit to add:
A few error during the initial training however after 10 minutes no additional ones.

Speedtests are now coming back at 72Mbps on TBB and 74 on BT Wholesale

I presume I am ok to check and perhaps update the firmware on my HG612 without disconnecting the ECI modem (I have a spare LAN port on my motherboard)?

Now to try and remember the update procedure for the HG612...

Yes you should be able to ... I did!

However, I would suggest disconnecting your LAN, just in case, then using the readdressed second port to update the firmware. Interesting to see if you can go straight to the latest version.

I did seem to get to bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP08_webgui first time, to be honest I can't remember what was on there previously.

I am just checking now to see if I have a record of it...

EDIT: It must have been SP10 as I didn't have SP08 backed up anywhere.

One day Huawei will sort out the way fields are populated in te GUI!

Mine Gives: Down -/- Up

SNR Margin (dB) 16.3 -/- 0
Line Attenuation (dB) 13.6 -/- 6.8
Output Power (dbmV) 13.6 -/- 6.8

Whereas from Telnet I see figures of: SNR 6.2 -/- 9.1 : Attn : 16.3 -/- 0.0 : Pwr 13.6 -/- 6.8

So they are putting Attn in the SNR line, Pwr in Attn and Pwr in Pwr; totally losing the SNR figures!

I got a replacement HG612 this afternoon from an OR engineer, as I was failing to get PPP after G.INP was applied on my cabinet.

That sorted it., but whatever f/w, s/w was in it was way out of date and it was sync'ing well below 50Mbps. I flashed it a couple of hours ago with 30SP08_gui and it worked straight off. Sync as in my sig.

Waiting for PN Current line speed to update from 46.6Mbps now.
