stumbled across this forum and thread while doing the Google search for info on my 166. For reference I picked up a Gen 2 166 EU version from eBay last year to use on my g.Fast line.
In terms of the use of it, it worked fine on first connection and I was getting solid speeds from it and was able to see all the line stats etc.
Then it started getting regular DSL drops each night out of hours and wouldn’t auto reconnect again until manual intervention and a hard restart.
That led me to looking into upgrading the firmware to the latest BT approved version but it looks like that isn’t possible on the EU gen 2 boxes due to getting the unsupported hardware error message.
I’ve not tried the normal no BT 4.2.3 version yet but I’ve got back to the Openreach g.fast modem for now
