Hi all,
Can someone help me log into the 166 so as to upgrade the firmware to the latest 4.1.1_BT?
No matter what I do via ethernet or attempt to access the 166 via my network using 192.168.2.1 or any other IP address brooadcasted online I cannot access the log in page.
TIA
If you have a UK model V166-K you don't need to upgrade it as the sticker on the box (4_0_5_BT) is wrong.
They were all upgraded to 4_1_1_BT at the factory prior to shipping.
As for accessing the menus, this may help as it shows how to set a static IP in Windows which is what you need.

Connect directly between PC/laptop & modem with a cable (NOT VIA ROUTER!).
The 3 settings you need to enter are:
IP address 192.168.2.10
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.2.1
Once saved open a web search & type 192.168.2.1 into the address box to get to the log-on page.
Don't forget to switch from STATIC back to AUTO afterwards.
NOTE: If you have the EU version the IP address is different
Use IP address 192.168.1.10 & Default gateway 192.168.1.1
Only just come across this post that loks to been updated from logging an issue vai the Draytek help pages.
Anyways, just to update you all my Vigor 166 did not ship with the 4_1_1_BT firmware as stated above, it came with 4_0_5_BT as displayed on the box from Broadband Buyer.
Numerous attempts to access the web interface failed as the firmware was corrupt requiring a reflash via TFTP to the new 4_1_1_BT firmware, my FTTC connection suffered significantly dropping from 71mb down to just 45mb and so I made the decission to return the Vigor 166 and rely on my trusty Vigor 130.
Unsure what was the issue with the 166, although somewhat odd that it never worked out of the box from day 1 requiring a TFTP firmware upgrade.
I have read somewhere that the new Vigor 130 3.8.4.1_BT firmware is not ideal for an ECI cabinet and I should consider using the alternative 3.8.4.1 firmware, is this correct, can somebody please confirm???
