New 8900AX R2
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2016 8:15 am
Hi there,
I recently purchased this based on reading so many glowing reviews from various Billion Modem/Routers.
We had this running on ADSL for a couple of weeks before we changed to BT Infinity after it arrived here. It's nice to have a decent admin area with lots of settings I already find useful.
But even on ADSL (we thought it was the provider with issues after the Infinity install) we had issues as we had to regularly restart the router (most couple of days) on ADSL, and now we are on VDSL there seem to be issues also. We are getting disconnections ever just under 3 days approx it seems.
I saw a couple of threads and people say about the SNR dropping? And from a few screen shots I luckily took previously you can see some of this happening also. Maybe it keeps dropping until 0 then it looses connection?
Default Firmware it arrived with is 2.50a.dc18
When first activated with infinity we had 51Mbit Down 10Mbit up. Now I suspect since Wednesday last week others have been activated so maybe some cross talk but after a reset this morning its getting 43Mbit down/9.8Mbit up (Listed under WAN in the router panel), speed test dropped from 51 Best rate to 41 now.
Line Attainable rate has actually increased from 56Mbit to 60mbit.
Looks like the latest Firmware is - 2.50a.dc27 - http://www.billion.uk.com/esupport/inde ... n-250adc27
I need to get this thing stable, otherwise I'm wondering if I have to ditch this and attempt to return it though I really don't want to have to try and use the BT Smart Hub.
Any help would be seriously appreciated!
The Log shows this and it was basically the same as before. It just shows it looping over and over and over until its restarted. Also a few screenshots that I have by chance included to see if anything stands out.
