Nice

 

 

Are you connecting to your own kit or is there an HG659 in the mix?

signed up for gigabit, this is my result

 

 

I also get numbers like that on Wifi (802.11ac), which was to be expected.

My 200/20 came with a HG659 vodafone branded router

Anyone know how to log into it so i can change the wifi pwd?

So much INFO online and on the VodafoneNZ site about the HG659

Also INFO on back of HG659 showing URL to get to the user interface to manage things like WiFi PW

Linux

Thanks

There are 2 default user profiles the best one to manage the HG659 is ' Admin ' capital A

Enter the username Admin and the password "@"and the last eight digits of your modem serial number. E.g. if your modem serial number is ABC0987654321 your password will be @87654321

Very happy with my upgrade - thanks Vodafone and Downer!

Speedtest over WiFi:

-> TC4400 modem -> Netgear R7000 router -> ASUS PCE-AC68 on 5GHz

Any real world downloads? Steam? A linux torrent?

Looking better now

Any tips on using your own router? I have tried but mine is not being issued an IP address

Have you set WAN as DHCP over tagged UNI (same as fibre optic UFB).

The router I am using TP Link Archer c2 does not have that option, its simply listed as DHCP

Then you are out of luck or will have to get another router that is capable of vlan tagging on the wan interface.
