RB760iGS with PS180-T VDSL SFP
Hey All, I have a client that has 8 sites, all of them are going to be ethernet handoff (FTTC or HFC) except for one site that is going to be FTTB (VDSL). I'm planning on dropping RB760iGS into each store. I see on the duxtel site that the VSDL SFP module has passed compliance testing in September, does that mean it's now been approved for use on the NBN or just that its compliant with the specs? Anyone had issues running one in the desktop MTs? -Darryl
Hi Darryl, We found them to sync at notably lower speeds than most VDSL modems, and get extremely hot. We decided to use simple VDSL2 modems that can be put in bridge mode and connected them to MikroTik routers. It's not as neat, but has been a pretty solid solution for us. Another option to consider is that the NBN technology switch program has a special deal at the moment that makes it cheaper to switch some (not all) premises to FttP - contact me directly if you want me to check the address for you. I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but FttP is a far superior connection technology that is far more stable and predictable.

I've also tried one. It works fine on my home connection at 25/5 but it's slower at my office on 100/40. It does get a bit hot, but I've still found it to be stable. I've worked with Duxtel and Proscend to analyse the data I collected, but there wasn't anything more we could do to improve the connection speed, so I'll keep using Draytek Vigor 130s for now. The DV130 was reaching speeds in excess of 100Mbps downstream, while the VDSL module was only reaching 90Mbps. I can't prove that the DV130 isn't misreporting it's speed, and I haven't had a chance to do an accurate speed test (my ISP only just set up their own speed test site recently). Only thing I had to do to make it work was to disable auto-negotiation. If you want the tool to measure the speed, Duxtel can send it to you.

Another basic (and small) VDSL2 modem you can put in bridge mode is the Netgear DM200. They retail for around $80. Regards, Jason Hecker <https://www.upandrunningtech.com.au/> <https://www.upandrunningtech.com.au/> On Fri, 29 Nov 2019, at 16:51, Russell Hurren wrote:
