So it arrived, plugged it in and it worked first time!

Now my questions is can I still used by HH5 for its wireless and firewall, how do I set that up?

8800NL (Modem) <> HH5 (Firewall, DHCP) <> LAN

Thanks

Have a look on the billion forums, it might have been asked already, if not the billion rep is very helpful.

I haven't touched anything at home. All I've tried so far is resetting the modem once and resetting the router.

I went on online chat with Sky and they wanted to book an engineer but I declined as I wanted to give it a week.

To be fair, it seems to have risen from 44 to 48 in terms of attainable rate.

Looks like crosstalk has kicked in and your line has also been banded.

So nothing I can do about it? Or potential to get an OR engineer out?

If it's crosstalk, you can't do anything about it.

Vectoring is suppose to help with crosstalk, but that seems to have been coming for ages.

ChrisD. · 19 May 2015 at 18:52

What bugs me is that it dropped 20mbit overnight.

Armadillo · 20 May 2015 at 18:49

Need a little help with telnet here. Can't seem to log into mine, at least from windows, I guess I'm doing something wrong?

Fully unlocked with webgui hg612. Try to telnet into it, to grab stats as the webui is messed up (other than sync rate) since g.inp or at least they are on this firmware.

run the telnet command. I get the prompt for the login. Put username, press enter. Password prompt appears, cmd just freezes before eventually telling me host was lost.

Telnet is fine, as both hg612 modem stats and dsl stats use it to log in and pull stats fine, so I guess the error must be my end.

Danny091 · 20 May 2015 at 18:54

Are modem stats and dsl stats running while your trying to log in? It could be that it only allow's two connections at once. I seem to remember reading that.

No, both are shut. I even shut down the pc with them on, just incase and tried on another pc.

Same thing.

Asks for login. Put username, hit enter. Password comes up, refuses to let you type anything before eventually, the host is lost. If you don't put a username, it will instantly respond with "incorrect login", so it's running.

Is there no way to just do it all at once? like ip + username/password rather than wait for it to ask.

Telnet data can be looked at with dslstats, so I can just use that, but it's rather annoying.

KIA · 21 May 2015 at 17:30

Have you tried using PuTTy instead of Windows telnet?

Silly Goose On The Loose · 21 May 2015 at 18:42

Can anyone help me setup my HG612 with TalkTalk Fibre? I've connected it to my router (running Gargoyle, based on OpenWRT) and selected PPPoE and put in my login details but I cannot establish a connection.

Silly Goose On The Loose · 21 May 2015 at 23:25

Thanks, just tried it, Putty works fine

. Will probably just use dsl stats when I want a quick check as it's easier, but least I know all is well and windows just being dumb.

Montegue · 22 May 2015 at 08:53

Got a 612 coming today and never flashed a router before with 3rd party software. Just reading the how to with the modded firmware and don't know which firmware to get or where to get it from.

This part I don't get "3. Configure the ethernet NIC of your PC with IP address 192.168.1.100"

So if someone could link me the right firmware to grab and let me know about the above line that would be great.

Thanks.

londonbairn · 22 May 2015 at 12:59

Not sure if it will make a difference in all cases, but I got the master moved to the front of our property (which was next to the point of entry of the cable into the property) and removed all extensions (don't need them thanks to DECT).

Sync went up from 69 to 79 straightaway. Reminds me of ADSL2 24mbit when did the same in an old property it jumped from 8 to 19!

ChrisD. · 22 May 2015 at 13:37

Hmm, I may try that. The master in mine is in a small cupboard rather than at the front of the house.

Montegue · 22 May 2015 at 13:57

Anyone give me some help please for the love of moses in the bull rushes. I'm doing my best to follow the instructions from the pdf and I cannot for the joy of mary jane get into the modens cp to upload the firmware.

Stuck the IP of 192.168.1.100 onto my nic and default gateway of 192.168.1.1 (not sure if it's an issue with my ac68u using the same IP or not) Got ethernet lead in lan 2 and tuther end in pc. Held the reset button for 5 secs, plugged the power lead in and waited... Then entered 192.168.1.1 and nada happens.

What am I doing wrong... For the love of snakes on a plane can someone show me the way to enlightenment.

Cabling in the property wasn't great. The guy installed what looks like Cat5e cable coming in which probably helps with line noise etc

Yes change the AC68U's IP range to 192.168.0.x so it's outside of the same DHCP range then try access the 612 again, currently they will conflict. I had to do the same for mine last year.
