fully reset done and scratch all from begin
line direct to exchange 2.100-2.400 meters away

The wan>>internet access at wan 1 if ipv6 turned off , will not display the page and will do same error as picture above so settings can not be done or change having turmed off ipv6 at wan internet access interface

With firmware 3.6.3 (tested rc1 and rc3 the loop attenuator has gone down by 1 loop)
remember each firmware code is giving different loop attenuator
example if was 37 will be 36
if was 24 will be now 23
if was with other previous firmware 29 now is 28
Are few errors because i am fast path but not increased with this firmware so are normal for my line

Ping i have measure 8 ms (the lowest have seen for my adsl connection) and the jitter where mainly was 1 ms now hits 0 most of the time(at pingtest.net) ...so is very good and from the best results(see up report with 3.6.2 same code firmware)

Also is synchronizing with higher speed (211011 day time will be about 13-14 mb now this one is always more than 15+ the 4 times i have reboot it at day time)

the bug with vdsl light (was flashing after reboots) ... 7-8 times rebooted by now has Not flash so seems if it will...will be very rear so improvement here as well

The thinkbroadband monitor will show with this firmware slightly less latency at my cable connection for the wan 2 and speed will go up to 100-101 mbps more easy ... while the rc1 211011 will mainly go from 89-99max mbps and more latency at monitor

the 211011 was giving me also few disconnections at the adsl line but will monitor and edit the post if will carry on with 2471207(just installed it so need few days to watch it)

Over all ping getting lower with adsl and better for my cable vm connection that is hitting 100mb more easy

Reboot and load beta again ... still same error


With this beta from here ... but note is 3.6.3 ANNEX A and will give you longer loop attenuator
ftp://ftp.draytek.pl/Seria_2850/Firmware/beta/
The error is been fixed so ipv6 can stay off and will give access to internet settings page
No master reset it needs to work but just with the .all file

A small bug with this beta
There is a new feature "web portal set up" at LAN UI ... that was missing with 3.6.3 at wireless UI web portal under the station list
When i go to this new web portal and open it then modify it and click ok ....then if i go direct to load balance page will not appear the page of the load balance
But it still working ok
To access it refresh or go to an other page and come back is fine
:arrow: WARNING
DO NOT PRESS the ok button at this stage...it will reset ALL rules If you have any
also apart the 3 wan policies will come up one more as "NaN.undefined" but will disappear when leave the page
any way something is going on there



:?: Also
Last weeks about same time 3.6.3 RC3 and official 3.6.3 since came out ... had some packet loss regularly in my thinkbroadband monitor
I am not saying the 3.6.3 cause it but with this firmware are not appearing packet loss (well the few hrs i have it on) so bonus to the technician 8)

Same beta firmware r33187

I just had a go changing the MTU and WAN >> General Setup wan 2 set it to according to line so at wan 2 i add manually the speed values for some tests i was doing (of course clicked the OK button) and the 2850 will not reboot but the values was just changed with the click of the OK button
NICE to change wan settings with out reboot like previous firmware codes

Replied by babis3g on topic New Modem Code 252901
Hi
I notice for the models 2710,2830,2850 a new modem code 252901

I just loaded the new modem code and first the green adsl led will not light atol at the front of the unit but the adsl connection i test it is working fine

I also notice using this modem code first time ... it will give less error with RX CRC errors, so at the moment it looks one of the best modem codes
It also reporting lower attenuator 24db (34 the STD) so it seems is a very good modem code for good synchronization

Note at screenshot the connection is up for 1 hour ... other modem codes could give over 1000 errors (same time up) with my connection been with FASTPATH mode


Will keep it few days to see how is reacting
