One thing's for sure, it can't be any worse than my Linksys WAG160N that I have right now. That thing is the worst pile of poo I've ever had the misfortune of coming into contact with. I'm going out of my way to leave 0 and 1 star reviews everywhere I can. If you know anyone contemplating the WAG160N, please for the love of God stop them!

The version is 3.3.1 and it even has a different ADSL modem version.

The results I'm seeing right now are amazing! I have gone from 9.9Mbps down and 1.0Mbit up (on Be Pro) to 12.7Mbit down and 1.29Mbit up.

The SNR problem I had where it was never 3, is now 3dB! Before the flash it was 8dB.

According to DrayTek the firmware fixes WLAN issues too.

So yes, a release is due VERY soon!

Here's the email I received from DrayTek. Enjoy!

Code:

Hello David, There is a later firmware available for the router with updated ADSL modem code which should help with your connection speed and SNR problems. The firmware that I'm sending you is soon meant to be a final release but is currently being tested and should be released soon. Regards, David

...and...

Code:

Hello David, Unfortunately because it is not yet a formal release there is no changelog for it, however it is known to fix wireless connectivity issues and that particular version has updated ADSL modem firmware which has worked better than the previous version in testing. Regards, David

By the way other changes I've noticed is the Online Status screen. Instead of calling it Uncorrected Blocks, they've renamed it to CRC Errors and what not.

Current Status of Router:

Model Name : Vigor2820 series
Firmware Version : 3.3.1_232201
Build Date/Time : Mar 10 2009 14:29:56
ADSL Firmware Version : 232201_A Annex A

If you want the firmware early, I'd suggest contacting them via the website. I told them I had SNR and speed issues, but thanks to the firmware, that's all fixed now!
