Mine is 57Kb, properties say it was created on the 8th of August. Running it without params reports it was created for the R7000.

Very confused now. Your file is 27.5K!!! Still, I'll give it a try. Appreciate your help with this.

Cheers

OK, just re-d/l'd and it is 57k! Trying now

Sadly still drawing a blank. The telnet is looking for a login admin and password. The CMD prompt is "D700" so it seems that it is trying to connect to the modem. I enter the login but when I try to enter the password, no characters are shown and the login fails. I haven't had a chance to re-boot the router as my wife is working from home today so I guess that's a task for tonight.

Yes, I think you'll need to reboot. Sounds as if it has gone into debug mode, and no-one knows ( at the moment ) what the debug password is!

Just looked at the rest of your stats, no G.INP so ECI cab but as you say, the Billion is OK. I Really would want to try another D7000 before giving up on it.

Its going back. The response from Broadcomm was to reboot the device when the noise is high - hardly a fix. Credit however to Netgear for their support.

Are you going to try another unit or revert back to the billion?

Replacement or just giving up on it?

I don't see the point in getting a replacement and i've gone back to the billion. I was spending too much time monitoring my connection!

just ordered one today, really looking forward to kicking the SR102 into touch!

Well, power-cycled but still can't get in. Stumped now.

Looking to buy a new router but what does this have over the R7000? I did google search but it led to this thread

The R7000 still has the best lan to wan throughput and good wireless signal throughout various distances.

However SNB haven't reviewed it which is odd for them

It has a modem. Everything else is pretty much the same.

Hmm.......... So you are still being prompted for username and password when you try and telnet to it now?

When you run it without any parameters do you see this

Every time you power cycle you need to use telnetenable again, I just create a shortcut with the right parameters - like so - (I just made up random MAC and password to show example)

Is this supported by BT infinity? I am assuming I don't need a separate modem as this has built in, can someone please confirm this?

Yes, BT infinity is supported and you don't need the open reach modem.

Perfect thanks just ordered before even the HH5 is delivered.

ricke17 · 11 Sep 2015 at 20:20

It'll walk you thru it when you turn it on and hook up your laptop to it.

That could come in handy, does it support vectoring as that is enabled on my line and before I flashed my Huuwaei modem I was getting below average expected sync speed.

Are you sure you mean Vectoring and not G.INP, there are only a few homes in UK doing vectoring trials.

But yeah it supports both Vectoring and G.INP, pretty much all that support G.INP support vectoring also, manufacturers seemed to update their firmwares to do both at the same time which makes sense.
