homehub 5a or 5b ? Huawei cab or eci cab ?

HH5A and Huawei cab. I mean firmware .204, not a fix for G.Inp.

Hey Bat,

Ah sorry I understand now, im not familiar with the HH5A, does it work correctly with G.INP now ?

Specifically I was talking about standalone ECI modems which have no chance in getting an update due to being locked down (ECI modem is the BT white openreach box)

No, my HH5A has reduced sync and interleaving on. It is also locked down but gets it's firmware updated in the same way a locked ECI modem or lHuawei HG612 does - via PTM 301 or BTAgent.

Is there anyway to tell, through the UI, whether G.INP is active on the HH5?

I had a weird issue... it happily synced at 57Mb for months then went down to 49Mb and interleaving was quite evident, then 2 days later it was back up at 61Mb and no-interleaving. Probably not G.INP, cause I'm on an ECI cabinet, but I was curious.

Not that I can see.

I wonder if vlowen (of RouterStats for HH5) is using telnet for them and could help? In some versions there is a telnet tab, but not showing on this page. Unless he's moved it into "Advanced".

No, it uses the web page. No telnet access on the HH5A.

I connected the HG612 with unlocked B30SP08 firmware and got my speed and ping back to before this issues started.

I'm on a Huawei cab and won't be going back to a ECI modem anytime soon.

I donno where this myth that the ECI rev /r modem has significantly lower latency connection comes from. On my local ECI cab the difference in my test on my current fast path line, It's less than 1ms every so slightly in favor of the ECI about .3-.4ms on average.This is the case as long as you disable the firewall and QOS on the HG612.


However the band plan is slightly different. the ECI tends to have a bit loading in favor of upstream, the HG612 with bp30sp08 in favor of Downstream, I've found that I get lower error rates with the HG612 too. I've been more prone to getting interleaving switched back on with the ECI!!!
