Draytek Vigor 2600G

[BEn_2600+]

Ive read somewhere that you can get firware for the abopve router that is better for longlines, anyone know where i can get hold of these and which one is the best? Also is there any modded firmware like the Tomato for the Linksys routers?

Thanks, Ben

You want to look for the firmware with a UK2 tag on the file name. I use it on the 2600G at my parents house and it did certainly help stability and even got a slightly better sync speed out of it

Their line is around 5.8Km long and its pretty crap cable too by all accounts.

EDIT-

Just had a poke around DrayTek's FTP for you and I cant find the one I'm running, fire off an e-mail to their tech support they are normally pretty helpful and will send you a link or the files directly

Ive found it, written in the readme of the normal version its says copy the link but put uk2 on the filename to download that version, ive got it but when trying to flash it using the Router tools, it says Connection timed out or similar every time

I got this with a couple of draytek 2800's just in the last few days. Never could figure it out. I can't be bothered since it's a saturday, but if you fire off an email to their tech support, will you forward the reply to me

Sure, ill email them later today.

Tried as suggested and the Firmware upgrade worked, the UK2 firmware is much better seems stable(Judging by the stats), only used it for about 30seconds tho
