Vigor 166 only has single LAN port? was created by eveares
Hi, I have just received a Vigor 166 G.Fast/VDSL 2 modem, however it only has one LAN port.

Is that normal? It's a Gen 1 variant of the device.

Also can my Vigor 2962 extract the DSL stats and still access its LAN interface without putting a switch in the middle?

The SN is 213004349344

Regards: Elliott.

It's actually a Vigor 130 in a 166's shell!

How to access a 130 using a Draytek router. No idea if your device, whatever it is, is the same.

(BUT note that on the UK 130 the "Customer" and "Service" boxes are in the opposite positions to the ones shown in that article)

Netxl.com supplied it as a replacement following a genuine (or what appeared to be genuine) open box/refurbished Vigor 166 failed after only a day and would not reset.

That label on the back looks like it's been peeled off at some stage?
