Has anyone had success using the 166 as a router instead of a modem on BT G.Fast? If so what settings did you use?

Has anyone had any joy getting the 166 working on a BT G.Fast connection? no matter what I do the DSL light keeps flashing and never connects. Got one today, thinking about returning it already :(

First question is have you bought the UK or EU version? The UK version should work ‘out of the box’ as it has special UK firmware tailored for the BT/Openreach service, but the EU version doesn’t so it’ll require a manual config.

Haven’t plugged it in yet but it looks like its a Vigor 166 GEN1 as sold in the EU but with UK firmware & PSU (says Vigor166 GEN1 on the label). Had a quick peek through the vents but the main chipset seems to be covered by a large aluminium heatsink. Draytek now have the UK firmware on their site, someone with an imported (166-A) might like to risk trying a quick flash?

05/01: Looks like stocks are now arriving at most dealers.

Now showing as in stock at Morecomputers, similar price to Scan but has a free P&P option available.

ILGS also have stock & Broadbandbuyer have just received their delivery today, they’re the cheapest I’ve found so far.

I’ve noticed that BT/Openreach now supply the Zt Link MT992 instead of the Huawei.

Lots on eBay at around £100, is there a difference between this & the original Huawei MT992 ?

NetXL in Guilford (also trade as YayYay) have 100 in stock as of 23/12, but want over £130 + P&P

https://www.netxl.com/dsl-modems/draytek-vigor-v166-gfast-vdsl2-modem/

Interestingly they are also listed as a supplier via Amazon UK, but it’s even more expensive there!

Broadbandbuyer seems a much better deal (assuming they’ve not made a pricing error)
