Hi all,
I have recently switched ISPs and am now struggling to get the bandwidth I should be getting.
I was previously under the impression that the modem codes associated with the frimware were related to hardware revisions and as such you had to match what was already installed. I now realise that isn't the case. I hadn't upgraded to the latest firmware since there is no 321311 code version available for 3.2.4.4 but no I realise I can.
I tried upgrading to the standard version but my line speed actually went down.

I am very close to the exchange and generally speaking get very high sync speeds.

Is there a list of which modem codes do what? Are the numbers in the codes relavent? Could someone just tell me one to use!

Cheers,
Steve

Really, can nobody point me to an explanation of the different firmwares available? Please!

Re:Vigor 120 (v1) Optimal firmware for variable line quality

As there are about 10 different versions of the current firmware for the 120 depending on modem codes, I too was confused as to which was the optimum option. An email enquiry to Draytek in the UK produced this rapid response which may be of some assistance to you:-

"The modem codes are not specifically for any country / ADSL type,
however the different modem codes will behave differently depending on
line conditions. The 332201 modem code is recommended in the UK
because it achieves a higher speed than other modem codes when using
ADSL2+ connections.
"The 321311 modem code is what we would recommend when the UK
recommended modem code causes disconnections or other issues."

Thanks for that!
The actual fault turned out to be unrelated to the modem. Testing the different firmware versions though did change the connection speed and behaviour.

Help! I am struggling to upgrade my firmware on my new Vigor 120.

I am trying to flash with the file v120_3244_332201.all that I downloaded from the Draytek website.

My PC is on 192.168.2.10 and the router is on 192.168.2.1. The web upgrade option results in "Firmware file name is invalid, please check!".

If I use the Firmware Upgrade Utility 3.6.2 (after pressing OK to start the TFTP server in the web portal for the Vigor) then I get "Incorrect/No file name. Transfer Abort!"

I have tried to reset the router to put it into TFTP mode, but I can't seem to do it.

Any help appreciated!

Regards,

Raymond

If you rename the file to "v120_a4_v3244.all" does that get it accepted?
