Reply To: DrayTeK Vigor 166 – G.fast capable As some of you may know, Draytek produce a range of Routers and modems for the UK that comply with BT SIN498 I have recently contacted DrayTek to ask them…

[UK Sentinel]

I contacted DrayTeK today and they kindly informed me that the Chipset for the Vigor 166 is an INTEL, so no Broadcom which is interesting and keeps it inline with the Vigor 130 from a Chipset perspective ?

So I can assume it is at least the Intel VRX518 or  VRX618 / VRX619

I read the VRX619  chipset supports both Gen1 and Gen2. ,

I also read VRX618 chipset only support Gen 1 (less reliable sources)

The currently released Vigor 166 only supports Gen 1 and a Vigor 166 MK2 is rumoured to be released at some point supporting both Gen 1 and Gen 2

So  DrayTeK Vigor 166 MK2 models will probable support the VRX619  chipset , we just need clarity on what the Vigor 166 MK1 is currently using (VRX618)
