Reply To: DrayTeK Vigor 166 – G.fast capable

[UK Sentinel]

Ok, so I have had feedback from those nice people at DrayTeK regarding the Vigor 166 GEN 2 and BT approved Firmware.

—–

The Vigor 166 models are functionally identical. The only difference is that one can support 212Mhz G.Fast which may be introduced in some countries, however Openreach (BT) have no plans to use/adopt 212Mhz in the UK and it’s not currently supported in the specification of the UK model. We wouldn’t expect any different in performance between the v1 and v2 models.
Only the model with product code/SKU ‘V166-K’ would be the UK specification (UK specific hardware/firmware/support).

 

Hope that helps.

So no BT approved firmware for the Vigor 166 GEN 2 at the moment
