If the modem isn't connecting to the internet, then I would say that is the first thing to sort out, then worry about connecting the router to it afterwards. Thank you for posting that Draytek explanation. I still find it difficult to understand exactly what is meant. If you use DrayTek's ACS-SI management platform, you can use that to roll out the new firmware to all products en-masse.

DrayTek Firmware Update Notice

I have achieved comparable speeds and stability from using Billion 8800NL and 8800NL/R2 routers configured in modem only bridge mode (and wireless disabled). I currently have these configured and ready to go, as standby modems if my Vigor 130 was ever to fail. To show more detailed line statistics, enter "vdsl status more" (or "adsl status more" for an ADSL line)With the Vigor 130 modem now configured to bridge VDSL to Ethernet with no VLAN tag added by the modem, the router can be configured to use this.

So that the UDMP knows how to communicate with the modem, the next stage is to configure a static route. Add the appropriate route using the following command: ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth8 When the DSL LED is lit solidly, the Vigor 130 has established the link to the DSL line and can be used for bridging. LSYMB This parameter reports the actual number of bits per symbol assigned to the latency path in which the bearer channel is transported. This value does not include trellis overhead. It ranges from 0 to 65535. Maximum possible value is 3825 in case of ADSL2 and 7665 in case of ADSL2+. What I've learnt so far is the vigor 130 is not connected as the dsl light keeps flashing on and off and there is no connected status in the draytek interface.

Standard (plaintext) HTTP is disabled, and encrypted TLS/SSL is in use. Use a https prefix to access the router WUI using SSL/TLS.

Modems - DrayTek

The difference between modem and router is their place in the ‘internet-chain’. Modems connect to the internet directly, translating code and messages, but cannot create a local connection. Meanwhile, routers can read the new messages to create a local network for your devices but cannot connect directly with an internet provider. In any problem state, it's usually best to use a wired (RJ45/Ethernet) connection rather than wireless. If you cannot access the web interface of your Vigor router, here are some possible causes: Go to [WAN] - [Internet Access] in the web interface and set the WAN interface to be used with the FTTC connection to PPPoE mode: I am currently reviewing my network at home, and have just replaced my Netgear X9000 with a new Unifi network. Whilst its in the early stages i've found it much easier to control and understand how the system is behaving. Enabling Smart Queues in USG reduced buffer bloat to around 1ms, so no need for anything extra hopefully.We have upgraded the system architecture for MyVigor server, and now require your help to complete the upgrade process.

Firmware 3.8.4 BT - DrayTek

Leave the Service Name field blank if that option is present because that should not be set when using this connection type: At the moment, the Vigor modem has no way to communicate directly with the UDMP, and the UDMP doesn’t know anything about the Vigor modem itself. To resolve this we need to:Despite the documentation from Draytek to the contrary, the values in the "Near End" column of the detailed stats appear to be consistent with the upstream, and the "Far End" column with the downstream. I had the same problem, identical down to the 73999 sync speed, except, the cab I'm connected to is a Huawei. Running Mode: The xDSL mode being used, i.e. ADSL, ADSL2+ or VDSL: 8a, 17a, 30a Status: SHOWTIME indicates that the line is in synch. DrayTek routers with Ethernet WAN interfaces are able to connect to a BT Infinity or other ISPs similar BT FTTC based broadband (Sometimes referred to as Fibre Broadband) service using the BT Openreach modem, which is commonly supplied with current BT FTTC installations. The BT Openreach modem converts the VDSL2 connection used by BT's FTTC service into Ethernet.
