No problems for me with 3.3.3_232201. 230 hours uptime no crashes. USB printing was a problem before (3.3.1.2), but is working perfectly now.

I have 3 x 2820Vn's
Totally dissapointed with them, one still reboots on a daily basis, the other looses wireless daily (although it thinks its still connected) and needs a reboot.
The only thing they are good for is door stops.
I have had them now since they came out and keep hopeing a further firmware release will fix my issues.
They should team up with microsoft as another example of a company who cant release stable products.
I now have dumped the wireless on my router with the wireless problem and am using an Apple Timemachine to run my WiFi - Works a dream and never misses a beat.
Just got to sort my office one out now

For the record - 3G dongle support for my 3 dongle (ZTE MF622) is broken in 3.3.3.
You need to revert to 3.3.0.1 to get it to work.

ANyone any idea when the next firmware is out?
I saw that the pbx version has a beta release the other day.
We're having to bounce ours every few days at the moment due to the 500 errors and massive packet loss (presumably a side effect of the same issue, running out of resources).

Should be fairly soon, there's beta releases available on the internets:
http://www.visus.pt/mirrors/draytek/Vigor2820/Firmware/3.3.4_RC4a/
Those should cure your massive packet loss problems as that's normally caused by memory leaks.

3.3.3_232201 is stable. System Uptime: 934 hours. ISP: Demon. SYNC: varies but usually 6.0 +- 0.5 Mbps (5.3 km from exchange). Wireless: G. Access: WPA (one client cannot handle WPA2 or mixed WPA/WPA2 so WPA only). One client on 1Gbit LAN. Syslog runs continously to one client for logging.
Continuous monitoring of SYNC, CRC, SNR Margin, Line Att every 5 minutes for input to rrdtool. Plots uploaded to website. Unix script monitors CRC error count: I have found that when errors rise sharply, data throughput can be reduced to as low as 5 kBps (!!!). When CRC error exceeds 30k, script automatically telnets router and issues adsl idle; adsl reboot. Link broken for about 90 secs before re-sync established and normal throughput regained. If Demon takes DSL down and the router does not re-establish within 5 minutes, then another monitor script (using snmpget to look at GW address every 5 minutes) will automatically issue "adsl idle, adsl reboot"). This may repeat after another 5 minutes if necessary. So far, have not had to intervene by hand - such as forcing a hard reboot or power-cycling of router.
Maybe I'm just lucky.
