Of course I'm the only person who has posted the link because IT'S MY LINK, I uploaded it there after I downloaded it from the original private Netgear source. I'm not in Australia so I don't know if it will solve the problem, but for those who are willing to test it it's worth a shot.

Just for s**ts and giggles I did what you suggested and searched your username on whirlpool and didn't find anything, then googled and still nothing relevant, but I did find this...

[nemozac]

Lol what is that? My ebay is butle-zac just like my whirlpool zacb or my xda ausboy 2011 lmao never seen that ebay account 😂

[nemozac]

Oh yes i do my ebay account was hijacked and stolen i remember this now. Luckily they had the ip of who hacked it and sorted it out lmao i remember who did it too. Anyways iam in australia can anybidy else test this beta fw plz

[Revhe4d]

I hope they can fix this before my NBN FTTN Goes live in a week or so. I am keeping the faith . Otherwise it will be going back as unsutable for intended purchase.

[TheMotionMan]

Seriously, have you read this thread ?
Im not kidding. The device is does not work
Wake up.

[Revhe4d]

Motion man I know it does not work, I also know Netgear have said they are working on a fix.
Thanks for the heads up anyway. All i can do is hope or move on and get a exchange

[TheMotionMan]

Have you seen the start date of this thread ?
I cant beleive Netgear have not pulled this product.
$500 for a non FTNN product. Wow !!!

[Revhe4d]

Hello Revhe4d

Here is the KB discussing NBN and what is compatible.

Same issue here. Any news on the fix? It is sooo annoying.

[Buckchoi]

Firmware update available.

[c64tm]

So does it fix VDSL issues? No mention in release notes...

[JRooth]

I guess that we will know soon enough    😃

[JRooth]

No good. It has just bounced.

[JRooth]

Has there been any progress from Netgear?

[c64tm]

There has ben one report that it works now with latest firmware.

You know what they say... people complain when its not working, and nobody usually says anything when all is fine.

There is one report over at www.whirlpool.net.au that says they got it working with an uptime of over 2 days, at time of post.

[c64tm]

Well, I can confirm it is working with latest firmware as well now, with iiNet FTTN connection.

Uptime of 45hrs so far, and still going.

I do only have one socket in house though

[JRooth]

Well mine is still bouncing daily.

Are you using a filter between your NBN connection and the router?

I have the NBN Ethernet connection directly connected to the router.

[c64tm]

no filter. straight to wall socket. no other devices connected to the phone outlet. only 1 outlet for whole house.

[JRooth]

My router is connected directly to NBN. It restarts quite often. The stats doesn't show that it restarts.. but it does.

Perhaps the router stays up but the connections reset.

What is the best way to provide stats to Netgear as I have found that the logs aren't of too much use.

[c64tm]

I get my results from isp itself, so I know the connection hasn't reset.

How many sockets in your house? or are you using FTTP?

Mine is for FTTN VDSL2.

8 days since last disconnection, which was initiated by me.

What are your stats?

[JRooth]

System uptime: 15:06:41:10

When I tried connecting to the router a few minutes ago to get these stats, the interface started to load and then in the right side iframe I got a connection fault page.

At that time I could not connect to the router, internet etc.

A few minutes later everything came back.

Connection Time	02:16:15:12
Connection Status	connected

The logs from around that time show:

FTTN VDSL2

I am not using any filters as it's an ethernet connection from the NBN box.

[c64tm]

If your connecting from an nbn box, then you must have FTTP...

for FTTN it connects from the wall outlet to the dsl port on back of router.
