Recently got a Darytek Vigor 166 (Gen 1) VDSL modem to replace my ageing (but stable) Huawei EchoLife HG612. However I am having stability and latency issues with the Vigor 166.
Not sure if my local cabinet I come off is ECI or Huawei, but was installed around 2013 and think it may be a ECI cab based on the original modem I was supplied back then was a ECI modem, before I later upgraded to a Vigor 130 and sold the original ECI modem, and then later again sold the Vigor 130 when I upgraded to Vigor 2860, and then got the 2nd hand Huawei EchoLife HG612 of ebay when I sold my Vigor 2860 when I upgraded to a 2962.
I suppose it's just going to be a case of trying different firmware and modem codes contained within each firmware to see if it improves the stability and latency issues with the Vigor 166 I was getting, as it did not seem right to me; however any ideas to the below issue? (Same level of low-medium network activity at time of tests, so comparable imo.)
Vigor 166 = 200 Pings to 8.8.8.8, lost 6 pings, max was 352ms and average was 42ms
HG612 = 200 Pings to 8.8.8.8, lost 0 pings, max was 28ms and average was 22ms.
So something is UP!
