Once upon a time you could log into the cable modems at 192.168.100.1 and 192.168.100.100 on Cisco and Motorola respectively, to see connection stats. Whats the equivalent for the technicolor I wonder?

Just been forced back to the Vodafone supplied router :( My Asus NT-56U seems to have lost it's way. It was working well, until last night when the connection dropped. It stayed off until I restarted only for the Asus to drop the connection again. All lights would shut off except the power light. Every 5mins it would drop then restart over and over. I factory reset, nothing. Then I updated the firmware and I suspect it may have shat itself during the update because now I cannot reach the settings page. It seems to be a paper weight now.

Side Note - Every few days I get defaulted to Auckland speed test server, I live in Wellington.

I am the same its flawless now. Invest in a quality network card though. pfsense is a technical jump from routers but worth it.

Just tried the ISO again now at 6:40AM and I get 200Mbps.
Interestingly it still comes from the ihug named IP. So there are timed proxy profiling happening which I would bet will be impacting responsiveness of every day web browsing.

Once again, have you rung Vodafone and asked them to investigate?

Not yet, I wanted as much detail as possible to give them.
I think I have enough so will today.

I'm pretty much getting close to these results in Wellington also. What Steam servers are you using? Max I get is 40 MB/s on Steam but on Origin I peaked at 52 MB/s. Downloads still go up and down, not sure if its a Steam thing or not. 40 MB/s for a few seconds then back down to 10-20 MB/s. Also Speed Tests are defaulting to Auckland again today. No 2 speed test are near the same, I can repeat a test right after I finish one and there will be 300 MB/s difference. But I am happy enough now I don't feel I need to log a ticket, I'm sure Vodafone are chipping away at thing in the background, they are pretty keen to keep us on Fibre X and not on REAL fibre!

Nope, this doesnt work.

Any other address, or has anyone else found it? I've found my IP address has changed twice in the last 2 days, from 118 to 27 to a different 118. always interested why

Doesn't work for me. I guess the 659 is blocking access. really must replace that with something else.

Does anyone else find that the Vodafone provided modem/router combo often just drop the internet connection randomly and require a reset?

All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.

I don't use the HG659 and I still get random drops which usually require me to power cycle the Technicolor modem.

Just booked my order for FibreX, waiting for Downers to call to arrange an installation date.

Requested for static IP.

The plan is, when the Downers tech engineer comes, I will be asking for the router to configure for bridge mode only as I would like to retain my current wifi/network topology and set up to minimise any downtime and reconfiguration.

Though, the scary stories from few posts earlier so far kinda worry me with connection dropouts etc. Any way to ease these concerns?

I've been on "FibreX 200" for a month. Dynamic IP.

The HG659 comes pre-configured, and works (quite well) out of the box. I have made no attempt to re-configure it.

I have replaced mine with an EdgeRouter Lite.

Dropouts have not been a problem with either router (except on day 1).

Speed tests are good (full 200/20 line speed) but real-world performance has been an issue until recently - now improving - roughly at par with my old 100/10 HFC connection.
