Can you detail an experiment to demonstrate G.INP?

I know of at least one ISP who is currently issuing non-approved modem/routers. OR approval is not compulsory.

I've also seen somewhere a list of approved ones, but haven't managed to find it yet. It's not high up my priority list .

Could you say who/which modem?

I would have thought under their contracts with OR issuing the correct equipment was a requirement.

Or mine - but neither of us was the one who raised it

Nor mine. I read it somewhere and remembered the salient points.

Your cabinet is a Huawei so G.INP is available but your HH5A doesn't support G.INP. I recommend you get a Huawei HG612 v3B and unlock it with the B030SP08 firmware. You can then plug this into the HH5A and get G.INP

OK managed to pick up a HG612 off ebay, now do I need to unlock it to see its stats and if so how?

No immediate change with download speed but the upload has incleased from 8.5-9Mb/s to 9.5Mb/s.

thanks!

I recommend you use the _webgui version which has the BT Agent turned off.

You've checked it isn't already unlocked?

Unfortunately the links are either out of date or a bit sparse.

So I unplugged the HH5 from LAN2 on the HG612 and plugged the PC into LAN1.
Set the IP address of the PC to 192.168.1.100 (what to set the subnet mask to? And the default gateway?)

Powered off the modem, then pressed reset, powered back on and held reset for 5s. The power and LAN2 lights were both flasing.

Tried to acess 192.168.1.1 on the PC but it said page could not be found...

What am I doing wrong?

How do I do that?

Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Gateway would be 192.168.1.1 but it doesn't actually matter as you are using it to get at the modem/router not the Internet.
