Same problem here.. BT Infinity, and it broke our wired clients' internet connectivity..

WIFI, SIP phones, Teamviewer etc all worked fine... it was pretty much entirely web browsing that was hit.

Have just turned off the H/W Accelleration, and will monitor for the time being before binning the router...

Does anybody know how to identify what vector release is most appropriate?



The "BT" firmware refers to the BT Openreach FTTC network, so any DrayTek router connected to an Openreach FTTC cabinet should be using the BT firmware where possible.



Pawel in Draytek support seems to contradict this...

BT Infinity - service provided by BT.

To determine the firmware version I would start from vector 3. Vector 2 and vector 1 have got different modem codes, so that would require testing and finding the best one modem code for your line.

I now have the very same issue.
Updated after saving a config file and everything went completely haywire.
Very slow, loads of pages will not load, social media sites lose images, just a ton of things, oh, and best of all - will not even load Amazon!
I tried going back with the restore - no good.
I thought it was the computer, so did a full restore via time machine.
Then a full re install of OS X.
Nothing on internet.
Then I remembered this forum, and oh, look, Im not alone.

What do we do now? Wait for another update.
Thankfully, I have wireless, but need wired connections for a bunch of other stuff.
Last time I EVER update Draytek when prompted, will wait and see what rises to the top first.
Yes - BT Infinity.
Yes, I updated with the version recommended.
Now - anything wired is BROKEN.

It doesn't. The BT in the firmware indicates BT SIN MCT 498 approval.

I have the same issue with social media sites losing images with the latest firmware. This is wireless, and I am using 2 x AP902 APs.

Just to follow up..

There was a Steam download in progress. Once that stopped, the issue with social media sites was resolved.

It does appear however, that a Steam download takes all available bandwidth and slows everything else to a crawl.

I never had this issue on any other routers (and I have had many so called high end expensive ones in my time!)

I've never had to mess with QoS or anything like that on other routers, but wondering if I am going to have to start delving into it again here with the Draytek.
