I ordered VDSL for use with my Netgear FVG318. I expected to get a newer modem than my DG834GB. I did not know about 'zielnetz architekture' or VLAN tagging at the time. Once I found out about these issues I talked to Netgear and Telekom, who made it clear that my FVG318 would not work on a...

@hummingbird_de Someone kindly pointed out to me that the new Speedport 221 modem could be the answer to my problems. It seems to be a bridge between old ADSL equipment and the VDSL line and its VLAN tagging. Telekom confirm this, though I have always that 1% doubt until I actually test the...

@hummingbird_de I think that the problem can go away with a firmware update from Netgear. I can see this coming eventually, because they know the problem is specific to the VLAN tagging only in Germany. It can't be too difficult to change the packet to contain the correct tags by using a single...

@hummingbird_de Nice idea, but the Netgear FVG318 expects to connect directly to the internet via its WAN port, to a modem, using PPPoE. Obviously this is for security reasons. The Netgear is intended as the secure connection to the internet, and should not have any other routers in between...

@hummingbird_de Yes, I might be able to operate a VDSL connection at home using a VDSL router as a modem, and the Netgear VPN routers, but that word "might" is the problem. If it does not work, then I am stuffed, and my wife will kill me (well, no more than usual). I cannot take the risk of...

@hummingbird_de I cannot use VDSL because the Netgear FVG318, and other ADSL routers that need a DSL modem to get out using PPPoE, do not tag the VLAN correctly. Netgear knows this. Telecom knows this. So I exercised Widerrufsrecht on my VDSL order (at least I hope they got the letter). Until...

@hummingbird_de One of the pitfalls of buying from eBay. Thanks for the second opinion. I shall consider the box defective, learn my lesson, and find a better replacement. It was only meant as a spare because my Netgear occasionally locks up, and I wanted to try VDSL. Turns out that I cannot...

@hummingbird_de Thanks for the information. I have tried the combination you mention, but I must admit that I have not tried just the default settings. My provider is T-Com, and with the original 64.04.74 firmware and also when reflashed back to 64.04.60, the box will not sync. So basically its...

No luck with Speedport W721V Having tried flashing the box back to .60 I turned to this forum, and I have read as much as I can but it is hard to completely follow the thread with so many options. Last night I tried once again with...
