Hello
After some trouble downloading the firmware from the TW site, I finally got it and have updated my 2820Vn.

So far all is well. Speeds are exactly as they were before and I can now connect my new wireless-n bridge device without crashing the router and sending it into a reboot loop (requiring re-flashing and restoring) as was happening before.

Still, this is early days and had it not been for a fairly time dependent requirement to get the wireless bridge working, I would have left it until the update was available from the Draytek UK site.

I have to say that until I got the new bridge just recently, I hadn't had any trouble with the 334 version of the firmware. I was connecting a couple of wireless devices (one wireless-n) but only occassionally. They didn't cause a problem. What is so different about this bridge, I can't say but the effect was dramatic.

Fortunately, after may years using Draytek products (nearly 10 for me), these little hiccups don't faze you and you just swing into emergency recovery mode!

Now, all the Draytek techies have to do now is figure out why they can't match the speed performance of other routers like the Thomson Speedtouch range, on ADSL2+ lines. Ah, well I guess you can't have everything and I suppose you do get an awful lot of functionality with Draytek kit.

Anyway, all seems OK for now.

So far no speed drop off for me. W

I remember the last time the firmware was updated for the 2820 Admin advised that we should wait until it appeared on the UK site as the modem codes were revised specifically for the UK on our site. Admin can you advise if this is still the case as I note that modem code I currently use is listed on the draytek.com site?

This latest update is now up and listed on the UK support site.

I suppose it doesn't really matter now as the new firmware is on the .co.uk site but I have compared the SHA-1 hashes of both firmware downloads, all and rst, and they are exactly the same files if anyone has doubts.

I downloaded the "new" firmware from the draytek.co.uk site.

I upgraded with the reset firmware

This is way too slow. I reverted back to the older 334 firmware

As you can see there is a major performance problem. I am running a basic config with no QOS/bandwidth management.

The new firmware on my router is broken.

I am connected to a standard ADSL1 exchange.
