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…

[quote quote=9663]The first version of G.fast specifies 106 MHz profiles and the second version specifies 212 MHz profiles The DrayTek 166 will have to be BT SIN 498 approved, so I am assuming will also be suitable for BT’s implementation of G.fast (big assumption I know) but DrayTek are usually good in these areas of compliance. Alas I am to far from cab for G.fast. so lucked out ? but I assume either profile will work with BT G.fast, just will effect speeds etc ? Are you on G.fast currently ?[/quote]

From the look of DrayTek’s site https://www.draytek.com/products/vigor166/#models they have or will have two models, one (Gen 1) supporting 106MHz and the other (Gen 2) supporting 106MHz & 212MHz. I’m assuming that BT (Openreach) will only support 106MHz for the foreseeable future because they’re concentrating on FTTP.

Not on G.fast just yet but looking to upgrade a FRITZ!Box 7490 with something future proof-ish.
