the cfg must be for configuration & the bins i would not advise to use them, not sure 100% if i am correct ... just use the files with *rst* (for a clean install) or *all* (keeps same settings) extensions which are for normal update and are safe
I would say to use the rst file the first time if you update to the new 3.7.7 version & then the *all* is fine there after for changing std/vector

Working ok, no descrease or increase in sync speeds and stability seems fine other that 250 million fecs errors which dont seem to affect anything.

Traffic monitor is still broke though and not reporting device throughput correctly.

Have you tried the beta on the Turkish site?

I am running it, Vector1 version, have to say, after an initial rocky start it's good. Rocky start is I think down to me using the web firmware upgrade. I found out last time that if I do the upgrade using TFTP I have far fewer issues afterwards, but I went ahead anyway! I will do it again tomorrow using TFTP.

There are some really nice additions in the new beta firmware, especially the vdsl stats page in the GUI, very impressive.

Remember though, if you are going to run a beta you do so at your own risk.

Spotted a minor bug, in the VDSL stats, it's reporting DL and UL speed in in Kbps. If you compare that to the speed shown on the dashboard the two are different. The reason is that the stats are showing KBps (KiloBytes) not Kbps( Kilobits ). If you multiply the stats figures by 1.024 then you get the correct figure.

So either make it KBps or multiply it by 1.024.

Don't know who to send this to though, as I am not a beta tester, you may though.
