I'm experiencing a number of issues setting this router up on Telefonica (ES) ADSL service:

[1] It takes 3-4 minutes to establish the DSL connection from powering up - not a problem if normal but does this indicate an underlying problem? [2] Download speed drops to approx 4.8M with the Vigor, compared to 6.9M using the standard Comtrend router. [3] Downloading Sling media streams freeze randomly every 10 to 15 minutes (doesn't do it with Comtrend router) and BBC IPlayer audio streams pause/buffer frequently. [4] Lamp glows orange on the LAN port with Gigabyte 580IP fitted (phone works OK though) - a problem?

F/W version 3.3.6 - 232201. ADSL F/W version 232201 - A Hardware Annex A

Any advice greatly appreciated.

A prompt and helpful reply from DrayTek support assisted greatly and upgrade to the latest f/w seems to have fixed all my issues. Still takes a while to boot-up but that isn't a frequent event and orange light is normal albeit I'm not sure of its significance. Becoming increasingly impressed with the router as I learn more about it.
