Am using a Telecom Pace V5542 Gateway for a VDSL connection and after it is running for a week or so, I suddenly am no longer able to log into the administrator account any more.

You put in the correct username/password and it simply refreshes the page. However putting the incorrect credentials changes the page saying you've entered wrong details.

Tried with multiple browsers from multiple computers both remotely (has remote access enabled) and locally.

Any thoughts?

Note: It does seem that after a reboot that everything works again, however not really plausible for a business that runs 24/7 and will be replacing out soon.

That's for sure. I don't trust them either. Am replacing it out with one of the higher-end ZyXEL modems (ZyXEL VMG-8324-B10A) on Friday afternoon. This is more of an FYI for future searcherers.

1368551 2014-02-23 22:40:00 I'm with wratterus, get a DrayTek. Had wildly varying experiences with the Zyxel stuff enough to not trust them. Chilling_Silence (9)

I configure Microtik devices running RouterOS most of the time. Don't think I'd have a problem with too much config stuff anymore.

I kind of unfortunately have to run with ZyXEL stuff due to work being all corporate and such. I'm actually quite unfamiliar with DrayTek devices though. I think I'll order one to play with.

1368554 2014-02-24 00:15:00 Nah if you can configure a Microtik you will find it easy (although different). 887 is SMB grade along with some of the Draytek gear. Alex B (15479)
1368555 2014-02-24 01:38:00 Umm DrayTek _is_ corporate?! Some of the cheaper stuff like the DV130 is Home / SMB, but hell I'd still take that over a ZyXEL. Chilling_Silence (9)
