Eircom ZyXEL F1000 - router config & speeds

nuttlys · 2013-06-07 17:38:12

Just got the new Eircom F1000 router at home today as part of eFibre rollout and to my surprise nothing was left about the router or how to config. Anyway, previous comments are right, there appears to be no manual from Eircom (yet). It seems to me that the ZyXEL F1000 is a custom job on the P-2812HNU-Fx Series…

I don't see the drive, either as a media drive of network drive, in Networks, but I can map a network drive in Computer using the network address you give above. Thanks. I'm using Windows Vista Business 32-bit, btw.
(When I connected it for the first time (this morning) it showed up as a media drive in Networks, but tonight it doesn't show up there.)

I can only get it to show up as a mapped network drive on my PC also so when I power on it connects. Have yet to connect to it via iPad though - very frustrating.

Can anyone with the new firmware confirm if it fixes the intermittent lock-ups on the router?

It seems to me that the ZyXEL F1000 is a custom job on the P-2812HNU-Fx Series http://www.zyxel.com/products_services/p_2812hnu_fx_series.shtml?t=p and the user guide for that router is ROUGHLY the same (Word of warning, after a quick look there are a number of additional tabs available on the F1000 config, many of them are advanced VDSL settings so don't go messing with anything unless you know what you are doing).

Couple of notes:

My router ip was 192.168.1.254
Username: admin
Password: same as Wireless Key on back of router

It automatically prompted me to change the password which was handy.

The router is saying it has a 70 Mbps down, 20 Mbps up DSL connection but so far my best result has been 47.4 Mbps down, and 17.38 Mbps

Would be interested to see others actual speeds with eFibre are.

If you Google ZyXEL eircom F1000 modem or such, one of the things to come up is a .pdf of the user manual - all 359 pages of it.
It seems to be mostly geared towards technical reference for the professional.

the latest firmware version is 1.00(aaha.3)do_0820_2

it fixes a qos issue for iptv

previous firmware versions are

1.00(aaha.3)do

fixes some issues related to iptv

1.00(aaha.2)do_0430

not sure what it fixed

1.00(aaha.1).1 original firmware

another firmware version is currently being tested

it should fix the session timeout bug where a modem times out after 9 to 10 days causing red internet light

release date unknown as of yet

Enterprise customers on fibre could request the thompson if they wanted and probably get it but most would probably chose their own third party VDSL modems.

the thompson modem is crap

it needs to be reset at least once a week... avoid it.. its why eircom stopped using it.

port forwarding works fine on the f1000. disable upnp before creating rules

Freddy,

Is there anywhere I can track the progress of the new firmware that is being tested [fixing session timeouts or what not]

Rolling into my second month of not being able to use the eFiber connection.

How is that different to the F1000? Hopefully the new firmware rectifies this problem.

Ok I played around the F1000 with Current Firmware Version: 1.00(AAHA.3)D0_0820_2
And I found some crazy Queues setup under QoS, as far as I remember previously I only had the default one ( prior to the firmware update).
Under class setup, there were some classifiers (A classifier groups traffic into data flows according to specific criteria. Class Setup can add, edit, or delete QoS classifiers.) All that setup had "Age of Empires" in title, I have never added anything like that on to the Router !!!!!!!
After removing all that crap I can finally connect to my NAS via Wi-Fi also don't have any indication that internet is down when I check it with Network Diagnosis on the Mac. BTW, everything worked as it should via Ethernet.
Please guys, verify if you also have some crazy QoS setup. Because if that's the case we have serious issue with Eircom and personal setup left over within firmware.

the qos settings are there for the iptv service being trialed by 300+ customers at the moment. they are there to improve the signal being relayed to the set top boxes

So Freddy, before i throw away my Iomega NAS, what can i change back to wireless access it? Since the last firmware upgrade on F1000 i can only access the NAS via wired connection...

EDIT: Deleting all queue setups and class setups in QOS fix it. Must say, all respect to Eircom, you're crap!

Hey guys - I can confirm that the new firmware does "Isolate" wireless and Wired devices...

I have found a work arounf until Eircom fixes this issue...

Goto network settings->QOS-> Class Setup -> Edit default Queue

Change "From Interface" to LOCAL and then wired can speak to wired devices.

This does break IPTV systems though if you change LOCAL to the LAN port that the IPTV box is connected to then that works as well..

Lets hope Eircom can roll out a fix for this sooner rather than later...

That took me 3 hours to figure out... LOL

Super guidance here from all. Thanks it sorted a problem I spent most of the weekend trying to diagnose! Just to add my own experience re. applying choakem's advice. Thanks choakem too...

In my case following choakems useful advice fixed the "isolation" issue but disabled router and internet access from my wired devices.

Simply turning off all the "class setups" addressed the issue for me.

Thanks you are a life saver. The Sky + App on my Ipad had stopped being able to see my Sky Box until I applied your fix. Also I was experiencing problems with video streaming from my PC as well.

I have to say thanks to choakem. There must be some bug that bridges the wireless and LAN interfaces incorrectly when they are revered to as LAN. It does not make sense that a QoS entry would be causing 2 interfaces not to bridge with each other. Unless that QoS entry was rate limiting to 0. In the end of the day the box is nothing more than a Linux router with a handful of wireless/LAN and WAN interfaces connected to a Linux bridge.

telnet to the box and issue the command

> lan show

The bridging code is obviously broken.

I'd like to know how this breaks the IPTV stuff , is it the Multicast that's broken or the Prioritisation of the IPTV traffic.

When i first got this router last month i could do everything i could do with the last eircom netopia router,stream my sat box to my iPad, FTP wirelessly and so on,

now it's all messed up, with the fix above it works but when i plug something out and switch it on next day no connection and i have to revert back from local.

Did they do an ota update for the router?

OK , I think I have it mostly figured out. Maybe some others with the F1000 modem from Eircom and the same issue with try this and let me know if it fixes the issue.

The Issue I believe is related to bad default QoS classifiers on the router.

They are adding VLAN 10 to packets classified. This might be necessary to preserve the .1p bits set by the QoS config however it seems to be breaking the wired/wireless bridge.

My solution, which is only one possible solution, was to remove this from the Default Class.

Network Setting > Qos > Class Setup

Edit the Default Classifier , in "Step 3" set vlanID to "Unchange" from 10

Now , at this point DNS on the router breaks ... instead of trying to fix this is easier for me at least to just use a different DNS server.

Network Setting > Home Network > LAN Setup

DNS Values : change this to From ISP , or static if you want to roll with different DNS.

At this point you should have full function bridging between wireless and wired LAN's and all devices should be able to connect to the Internet.

This seems to work for me. There are probably other solutions.

In fairness I don't think the F1000 is a bad router. I just don't think Eircom fully tested the default config on the latest firmware.

Until next time you power cycle the F1000. THAT'S the problem.

Ive been trying to setup the network/file sharing for usb devices and find it quite confusing. I have a share up and running & can connect to it using samba. My only issue is it asks for a username/password & its the modems details that are needed. IS there anyway to turn this off? I havnt had much luck with the DNLA sharing

Hi encryptix,
Do you mind me asking what type of hard drive you have used to get the file sharing working (or at least partially working, as per your post)? At least your share is detected, I have had no luck. Wondering if the unit is somehow faulty as nothing is detected. I've tried a few different usb storage devices.

Cheers..

Currently im just using a usb key (FAT32) but will try a drive later.

In the Network Setting > USB Service i have file sharing enabled with a hostname "USB1" and the Media Server is disabled.
I also checked that the key is detected by looking at the Virtual Device.

Im running arch linux & at first I was typing "smb://192.168.1.254" in a file explorer gave me a prompt to login allowed me to navigate to the usb key.

But now ive managed to mount it from the command line with:
mount //192.168.1.254/usbkey/usb1_1 /mnt/test/ -o user=admin

On windows i think its along the lines \\\192.168.1.254\usbkey\usb1_1 in an explorer window

My issue is that I cant even see the host name appear on the screen. Perhaps the devices I've tested with are too old. Will try and reformat to FAT32 and have another look later..

The only place i see the hostname is in the admin web interface. Other than that you seem to have to type out what you want.

Ive taken pictures to try show you what I had to do in windows to get the share's to come up. I have both a 16gb usb key and a 1TB portable drive connected.

Note: You should swap 192.168.1.1 for 192.168.1.254 when trying

Thanks encryptix, I appreciate your help. It seems we must have different firmware as I do not have the path: Setting > USB Service available in order to enable file sharing. As per usual, the eircom site has no information available. I'll have to inquire on the help forum to see if I can download an update if there is one available.

Just contacted Eircom "tech" support. I've been told, via a really poor phone line, that they disable the USB service option on the router as they don't support this type of query. Perhaps those who have had some partial success in setting up the file sharing have received a box without this feature being disabled by eircom? Its a shame as a file share would be really handy for me without having to fork out on new equipment. Has anyone managed to flash the original ZyXel firmware back on?

you dont need to delete to qos settings

just go to network settings > qos > class setup

modify rtsp > set interface from lan to local

click apply

modify defualt queue

change queue name to default

change interface from lan to local

click apply

as soon as you click apply your nas will work perfectly

this fix also applies to wireless printers and apple tv and dreamboxes

for apple mac 10.6.8 or older users

those who get a freezing mac

on the f1000 using a pc or windows based laptop (ipad wont work) log onto modem (192.168.1.254) admin and your wifi key as password

go to network settings > qos > class setup

modify rtsp > set interface from lan to local

click apply

modify defualt queue

change queue name to default

change interface from lan to local

click apply

go to network settings > home networking

look for lan mode setup

change ipv6 state from enabled to disable

click apply

then go to network settings> broadband

click on modify (ethwan) set ipv6/ipv4 to ipv4 only

click apply

then go to network settings> broadband

click on modify (vdsl) set ipv6/ipv4 to ipv4 only
click apply

your modem will drop connection and reconnect with ipv6 disabled

enjoy much better speeds both browsing and lower latency

then turn off the modem

next reboot your mac

when it boots up

go to system preferences > network

on airport/wifi click advanced then tcp/ip tab

set "configure ipv6" to off

click on dns

set dns server to 8.8.8.8

set dns search to 8.8.4.4

click ok and apply

then go back to system preferences network

click on ethernet 1 or on older versions of macosx built in ethernet

click advanced then tcp/ip tab

set "configure ipv6" to off

click on dns

set dns server to 8.8.8.8

set dns search to 8.8.4.4

click ok and apply

if your mac has more than one ethernet ports repeat the above steps for ethernet 2

if your mac gets this error when you try to configure tcp/ip "your network is being controlled by another application" then you have the mac bug where the admin account is blocked from changing network settings

a workaround for this is to go to

system preferences > security & privacy

here you need to set a master password

then you need to tick the box "require a password when making changes to this system"

then go to network settings and click on the padlock

enter your password and then follow the above steps

then restart the mac to ensure settings are saved properly

then turn on the f1000 and connect as normal

IPV6 MUST BE DISABLED ON AIRPORT/WIFI AND ALL ETHERNET CONNECTIONS otherwise it wont work (macs 10.6.8 or older cannot map ipv6 addresses in the tcp/ip stack correctly, apple have no plans to fix this

macs with 10.7 or newer dont have this issue

Yes, I also had this issue. In my case it was not just that a laptop on WiFi could not see the Iomega NAS but also that my iPad could not properly control my Naim Wifi ( UnitiQute streamer and HDX server).
I should add I was on the eVisipn trial but no longer.

you dont need to delete to qos settings

just go to network settings > qos > class setup

modify rtsp > set interface from lan to local

click apply

modify defualt queue

change queue name to default

change interface from lan to local

click apply

as soon as you click apply your nas will work perfectly

this fix also applies to wireless printers and apple tv and dreamboxes

Just had to do this for a second time and I had to reset my router twice in the last 2 days. Very annoying Are eircom pushing through remote updates to the router?

for apple mac 10.6.8 or older users

those who get a freezing mac

on the f1000 using a pc or windows based laptop (ipad wont work) log onto modem (192.168.1.254) admin and your wifi key as password

go to network settings > qos > class setup

modify rtsp > set interface from lan to local

click apply

modify defualt queue

change queue name to default

change interface from lan to local

click apply

go to network settings > home networking

look for lan mode setup

change ipv6 state from enabled to disable

click apply

then go to network settings> broadband

click on modify (ethwan) set ipv6/ipv4 to ipv4 only

click apply

then go to network settings> broadband

click on modify (vdsl) set ipv6/ipv4 to ipv4 only
click apply

your modem will drop connection and reconnect with ipv6 disabled

enjoy much better speeds both browsing and lower latency

then turn off the modem

next reboot your mac

when it boots up

go to system preferences > network

on airport/wifi click advanced then tcp/ip tab

set "configure ipv6" to off

click on dns

set dns server to 8.8.8.8

set dns search to 8.8.4.4

click ok and apply

then go back to system preferences network

click on ethernet 1 or on older versions of macosx built in ethernet

click advanced then tcp/ip tab

set "configure ipv6" to off

click on dns

set dns server to 8.8.8.8

set dns search to 8.8.4.4

click ok and apply

if your mac has more than one ethernet ports repeat the above steps for ethernet 2

if your mac gets this error when you try to configure tcp/ip "your network is being controlled by another application" then you have the mac bug where the admin account is blocked from changing network settings

a workaround for this is to go to

system preferences > security & privacy

here you need to set a master password

then you need to tick the box "require a password when making changes to this system"

then go to network settings and click on the padlock

enter your password and then follow the above steps

then restart the mac to ensure settings are saved properly

then turn on the f1000 and connect as normal

IPV6 MUST BE DISABLED ON AIRPORT/WIFI AND ALL ETHERNET CONNECTIONS otherwise it wont work (macs 10.6.8 or older cannot map ipv6 addresses in the tcp/ip stack correctly, apple have no plans to fix this

macs with 10.7 or newer dont have this issue

thank this post if it works for you..........if you have problems pm me

how would modifying QoS and changing DNS on a mac fix the freezing issue? i thought it was just ipv6 that caused this, forgive me if im wrong :P

Just had eFibre installed and want to set my router to bridge mode so I can continue to use my D-Link DIR655 router.

It is not clear to me from the webgui configuration how to do this?

From reviewing the manual I think I need to do something in Network Settings -> Broadband?

Help appreciated. What do I need to add/change and where.

Page 52 of the manual discusses bridge mode but does not tell what to do with existing entries?

Do I just edit existing entries? Delete and replace? Add new in addition? And what types of entries are needed PTM, ATM and Ethernet?

Help appreciated.

Hmmm, a good few times, in this very thread, it is mentioned that Bridging doesn't work. It breaks your modem [albeit in software only]. If you bridge your F1000, it causes a forever boot loop.

I've been told [treat anecdotally] that if you disconnect the DSL line BEFORE you setup Bridge Mode, it will work. I haven't tried this.

Thanks, have just found this post which seems to say what to do to enable and prevent?

Are the eircom PPPoE settings also the same for eFibre?

Basic modem settings:

Username: eircom@eircom.net
Password: broadband1
Encapsulation: PPPoE
Multiplexing: LLC Based
VPI: 8
VCI: 35
Primary DNS: 213.94.190.194
Secondary DNS: 213.94.190.236

My F1000 router seems to show different DNS servers.

- Primary DNS server: 159.134.0.1 (dns1.eircom.net)
- Secondary DNS server: 159.134.0.2 (dns2.eircom.net)
