Hi everyone I'd looked into using the Planet VC-231G VDSL modem with the NBN a while back, and the distributor told me that it wasn't tested and they didn't know if it would work. I've since read a bit more about it, and found this document (skip to page 43) - https://www.nbnco.com.au/content/dam/nbnco2/documents/sfaa-wba2-product-cata... I've asked Planet whether it meets the requirements, and they just told me that it uses a Metanoia MT5311GB VDSL2 Chipset and a Qualcomm QCA8337N Gigabit Ethernet Chipset and suggested that I test it. I'm aware that Duxtel and others have been looking at SFP modules with Metanoia chipsets, and was wondering if anyone would know whether the VC-231G would be likely to work with the NBN? I don't believe there's any compliance issues, the only question is whether it works. The Planet device looks more professional than the alternatives (eg Draytek Vigor 130), so I'd rather use it if it'll work. I had a Telstra technician tell my client that the TP-Link TD-8817 ADSL bridges I supplied mightn't be able to cope with the number of users on the network (because he didn't understand the difference between a router and a bridge). Regards Russell
Hi Russell, We use them for our On-Net installations and they are very good, but they aren't approved for NBN use and there will be no guarantees. It's not actually made by Planet, they don't make most of their VDSL stuff, I think it's made by Netsys or somebody like that. We have been using them for about 5 years with pretty low failure rate, their modem/routers though are something to be avoided. For most installs that don't need a bridge we use the TPLink VR400 or VR600 units. The Vigor 130 has tested well for us as well, it may look cheap but it's certainly not ෞഀ刀攀最愀爀搀猀ഀ倀愀甀氀ഀഀⴀⴀⴀⴀⴀ伀爀椀最椀渀愀氀 䴀攀猀猀愀最攀ⴀⴀⴀⴀⴀഀ䘀爀漀洀㨀 倀甀戀氀椀挀 㰀瀀甀戀氀椀挀ⴀ戀漀甀渀挀攀猀䀀琀愀氀欀⸀洀椀欀爀漀琀椀欀⸀挀漀洀⸀愀甀㸀 伀渀 䈀攀栀愀氀昀 伀昀 刀甀猀猀攀氀氀 䠀甀爀爀攀渀ഀ匀攀渀琀㨀 吀栀甀爀猀搀愀礀Ⰰ 㘀 䄀甀最甀猀琀 ㈀ 㠀 㨀㔀㐀 倀䴀ഀ吀漀㨀 䴀椀欀爀漀吀椀欀 䄀甀猀琀爀愀氀椀愀 倀甀戀氀椀挀 䰀椀猀琀 㰀瀀甀戀氀椀挀䀀琀愀氀欀⸀洀椀欀爀漀琀椀欀⸀挀漀洀⸀愀甀㸀ഀ匀甀戀樀攀挀琀㨀 嬀䴀吀ⴀ䄀唀 倀甀戀氀椀挀崀 倀氀愀渀攀琀 嘀䌀ⴀ㈀㌀䜀 嘀䐀匀䰀 䴀漀搀攀洀ഀഀ䠀椀 攀瘀攀爀礀漀渀攀ഀഀ䤀✀搀 氀漀漀欀攀搀 椀渀琀漀 甀猀椀渀最 琀栀攀 倀氀愀渀攀琀 嘀䌀ⴀ㈀㌀䜀 嘀䐀匀䰀 洀漀搀攀洀 眀椀琀栀 琀栀攀 一䈀一 愀 眀栀椀氀攀 戀愀挀欀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 琀栀攀 搀椀猀琀爀椀戀甀琀漀爀 琀漀氀搀 洀攀 琀栀愀琀 椀琀 眀愀猀渀✀琀 琀攀猀琀攀搀 愀渀搀 琀栀攀礀 搀椀搀渀✀琀 欀渀漀眀 椀昀 椀琀 眀漀甀氀搀 眀漀爀欀⸀ഀ䤀✀瘀攀 猀椀渀挀攀 爀攀愀搀 愀 戀椀琀 洀漀爀攀 愀戀漀甀琀 椀琀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 昀漀甀渀搀 琀栀椀猀 搀漀挀甀洀攀渀琀 ⠀猀欀椀瀀 琀漀 瀀愀最攀 㐀㌀⤀ ⴀ 栀琀琀瀀猀㨀⼀⼀眀眀眀⸀渀戀渀挀漀⸀挀漀洀⸀愀甀⼀挀漀渀琀攀渀琀⼀搀愀洀⼀渀戀渀挀漀㈀⼀搀漀挀甀洀攀渀琀猀⼀猀昀愀愀ⴀ眀戀愀㈀ⴀ瀀爀漀搀甀挀琀ⴀ挀愀琀愀氀漀最甀攀ⴀ渀攀戀猀ⴀ瀀爀漀搀甀挀琀ⴀ琀攀挀栀ⴀ猀瀀攀挀ⴀ昀琀琀戀ⴀ昀琀琀渀开㈀ 㔀 㠀㈀㐀ⴀ琀漀ⴀ䘀吀吀一ⴀ氀愀甀渀挀栀⸀瀀搀昀ഀഀ䤀✀瘀攀 愀猀欀攀搀 倀氀愀渀攀琀 眀栀攀琀栀攀爀 椀琀 洀攀攀琀猀 琀栀攀 爀攀焀甀椀爀攀洀攀渀琀猀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 琀栀攀礀 樀甀猀琀 琀漀氀搀 洀攀 琀栀愀琀 椀琀 甀猀攀猀 愀 䴀攀琀愀渀漀椀愀 䴀吀㔀㌀䜀䈀 嘀䐀匀䰀㈀ 䌀栀椀瀀猀攀琀 愀渀搀 愀 儀甀愀氀挀漀洀洀 儀䌀䄀㠀㌀㌀㜀一 䜀椀最愀戀椀琀 䔀琀栀攀爀渀攀琀 䌀栀椀瀀猀攀琀 愀渀搀 猀甀最最攀猀琀攀搀 琀栀愀琀 䤀 琀攀猀琀 椀琀⸀ഀഀ䤀✀洀 愀眀愀爀攀 琀栀愀琀 䐀甀砀琀攀氀 愀渀搀 漀琀栀攀爀猀 栀愀瘀攀 戀攀攀渀 氀漀漀欀椀渀最 愀琀 匀䘀倀 洀漀搀甀氀攀猀 眀椀琀栀 䴀攀琀愀渀漀椀愀 挀栀椀瀀猀攀琀猀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 眀愀猀 眀漀渀搀攀爀椀渀最 椀昀 愀渀礀漀渀攀 眀漀甀氀搀 欀渀漀眀 眀栀攀琀栀攀爀 琀栀攀 嘀䌀ⴀ㈀㌀䜀 眀漀甀氀搀 戀攀 氀椀欀攀氀礀 琀漀 眀漀爀欀 眀椀琀栀 琀栀攀 一䈀一㼀 䤀 搀漀渀✀琀 戀攀氀椀攀瘀攀 琀栀攀爀攀✀猀 愀渀礀 挀漀洀瀀氀椀愀渀挀攀 椀猀猀甀攀猀Ⰰ 琀栀攀 漀渀氀礀 焀甀攀猀琀椀漀渀 椀猀 眀栀攀琀栀攀爀 椀琀 眀漀爀欀猀⸀ഀഀ吀栀攀 倀氀愀渀攀琀 搀攀瘀椀挀攀 氀漀漀欀猀 洀漀爀攀 瀀爀漀昀攀猀猀椀漀渀愀氀 琀栀愀渀 琀栀攀 愀氀琀攀爀渀愀琀椀瘀攀猀 ⠀攀最 䐀爀愀礀琀攀欀 嘀椀最漀爀 ㌀ ⤀Ⰰ 猀漀 䤀✀搀 爀愀琀栀攀爀 甀猀攀 椀琀 椀昀 椀琀✀氀氀 眀漀爀欀⸀ 䤀 栀愀搀 愀 吀攀氀猀琀爀愀 琀攀挀栀渀椀挀椀愀渀 琀攀氀氀 洀礀 挀氀椀攀渀琀 琀栀愀琀 琀栀攀 吀倀ⴀ䰀椀渀欀 吀䐀ⴀ㠀㠀㜀 䄀䐀匀䰀 戀爀椀搀最攀猀 䤀 猀甀瀀瀀氀椀攀搀 洀椀最栀琀渀✀琀 戀攀 愀戀氀攀 琀漀 挀漀瀀攀 眀椀琀栀 琀栀攀 渀甀洀戀攀爀 漀昀 甀猀攀爀猀 漀渀 琀栀攀 渀攀琀眀漀爀欀 ⠀戀攀挀愀甀猀攀 栀攀 搀椀搀渀✀琀 甀渀搀攀爀猀琀愀渀搀 琀栀攀 搀椀昀昀攀爀攀渀挀攀 戀攀琀眀攀攀渀 愀 爀漀甀琀攀爀 愀渀搀 愀 戀爀椀搀最攀⤀⸀ഀഀ刀攀最愀爀搀猀ഀഀ刀甀猀猀攀氀氀ഀ开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开开ഀ倀甀戀氀椀挀 洀愀椀氀椀渀最 氀椀猀琀ഀ倀甀戀氀椀挀䀀琀愀氀欀⸀洀椀欀爀漀琀椀欀⸀挀漀洀⸀愀甀ഀ栀琀琀瀀㨀⼀⼀琀愀氀欀⸀洀椀欀爀漀琀椀欀⸀挀漀洀⸀愀甀⼀洀愀椀氀洀愀渀⼀氀椀猀琀椀渀昀漀⼀瀀甀戀氀椀挀开琀愀氀欀⸀洀椀欀爀漀琀椀欀⸀挀漀洀⸀愀甀ഀ
