BIG__DOG Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 draytek vigor 130 is a good one. Netgear do 1 but the model i cannot remember, it is something like a DM200 i think. N3CR0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL317 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 If you're on an ECI cabinet get something with the Lantiq chipset. If it's a Huawei cab, make that something with a Broadcom chipset. The Draytek Vigor 130, as mentioned above, is good for ECI cabs while the Huawei HG612 Openreach modem is recommended for Huawei cabs of course. Openreach does an ECI version too (the ECI B-Focus V-2) but I don't know much about it. I've personally got a Huawei HG612, my ISP combo (BT Smart Hub) and a TP Link W9970 which I like because it's small, provides the same level of performance as the HG612, can be used as a combo or in bridge mode (something sorely missed from the BT combos) and it's cheap brand new too. It offers the best of both worlds if you ever need an extra router/access point or if you want a modem only behind your R1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL317 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Oh I apologise. I don't hear of many users of VDSL outside of the UK for some reason. Australia maybe? I'm not sure if it's the same setup over there with regards to cabinets or "nodes" but the TP Link or Draytek should still be good options. I like my TP Link simply because it can be used as an all in one if you need it, but it can be put into bridge mode easily for use behind the R1.

Yeah, that's why I suggested the draytek vigor 130 as an option as draytek have a large operation out in Australia. Zennon and RL317 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
