1394738 2015-02-23 06:37:00 Nope, didn't work next time I started the pc!
Now have just informed me that the DryTek is not compatible with their hardware, so they're giving me a NetComm NF4V ,used of course!
I'll post back after I've got that running!

If they're giving you a NetComm NF4V is it coz you're on VDSL2? That'd make sense.

The NF4V isn't bad. It's not amazing, but it's not bad, and for most homes / small businesses it'll hold up well. I'd take it over the Technicolor / Huawei stuff any day, in a heartbeat!!

I think it's been asked about 3 times now if it's ADSL or VDSL with out a straight answer.

1394742 2015-02-24 07:47:00 Right,"it's" going to give an answer if it can stop "it's" nose from dribbling on the keyboard!Woke up to a massive cold,which didn't stop me going to get the NF4V.
"It's" on ADSL, as chill mentioned, the DrayTek is only good for ADSL!

They've given me an NF4V because I asked if I had to buy a new router would the NF4V do the job.They decided to give me one because they couldn't get the DrayTek to work.Something to do with a direct line feed from the exchange,not going through a cabinet.

Anyhow,the pc sees it now on startup unlike the loan one I had,so I'm happy.
Thanks for all your help,guys.

1394743 2015-02-24 10:17:00 If you're on a cabinet or exchange shouldn't matter a tiny bit. Something is weird with your setup. Alex B (15479)
1394744 2015-02-24 19:02:00 Probably Alex B! I think they said it's something to do with the way they've transferred me from Xnet.
At least it's all working now.

1394745 2015-02-25 05:10:00 Thing is, when changing from Xnet where the DV2710ne worked, to something else, you may have also changed to VDSL2 at the same time... That's why I asked ;) Chilling_Silence (9)
