UPC Ubee EVW3226

Just had one fitted today , anyone any experience of this router ?

AlanS181824 · 13-01-2015 9:10pm

Never heard of this brand before, actually thought it was a spelling error in the OP!:rolleyes:

Uhhh.. That looks like a nice new modem/router from UPC, lucky you.

Looks like a nice improvement over the current UPC modems. It is a dual radio, 802.11n router that supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously. So it should perform better. Still not as good as a high quality standalone router as it has no external antennas, but definitely an improvement.

sharkman, can you confirm some details for us?

Can you activate both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously? (basically there will be two different wireless networks running on the router at the same time)

Any sign of an option to bridge the modem? (look in settings).

Cheers

The hardware supports it, so unless UPC IE have gimped the firmware, dual-band wireless should work simultaneously. No external aerial though, which is a shame.
And the stock firmware also supports bridging - UPC NL have firmware that allow it, hopefully UPC IE are the same.

Sharkman, don't leave us in suspense!

sharkman · 14-01-2015 9:43am

OK , Looks like I'm the "lucky" guinea pig for this router .
I've used the following link to enable Bridge mode , although I have had two dropouts since last night . Could not get it to work in Dual mode but will try again later .

Sweet. Cheers sharkman.

Were you getting any drops before Bridge mode was enabled? Can you post the power levels? (In case there's an external issue)

white_westie · 14-01-2015 10:17am

Sharkman

Another question - what router are you using behind the EVW3226, and is there any options to use a DMZ mode in the firmware?

A lot of people who had Asus routers seemed to get dropouts with the TC7200 when in bridge mode using the hidden menu option.

As regards firmware versions in NL, PL, or CH devices, do not assume we in Ireland will get the same - this was the same issue we had when the TC7200 started being issued, firmware was not updated for nearly a year.

Plentry of discussion on foreign UPC forums, if you want to spend time reading translated pages.

I'm using a ASUS RT-N56U behind it , as for DMZ I haven't had a chance to look . I'll be home later and will post results .

Just reset to factory settings , I cant get it to run in dual mode , when I switch on 5GHz it switches 2.4 off .

Now how do I post power levels ?

Does this model defo have concurrent dual band?

Power levels should be under the Status section, it's the downstream (8 channels) & upstream (4 channels) power and snr levels. It's just to see if the drop outs are a result of poor levels (bad coax or network problems) or other issues (i.e. bridging via the hidden asp).

Downstream Power levels look high (optimal is 0 with +/- 10 in spec and snr is on the low side (ideally around 40 but above 35) and the upstream is a bit high (low mid 40's is best), prob wouldn't take much to cause issues, maybe in the evenings when traffic is higher. Is the line old, do you have any splitters between the external tap and the router?

Line was updated with no splitters yesterday on installation .

Well docsis 3 is less susceptible to the old 'noise on the line' of some of their older equipment so I'm sure the installer was happy with the stats otherwise he'd have fitted an attenuator, if you do get drops though check the stats around the time (particularly to see if it is resync'ing from loosing connection) below is a link to some useful info.

I had one installed today as having numerous problems since upgrading from 120Mbs to 240Mbs despite numerous service calls and cable checks, so thought the new router would solve the problem. I gave up my old bridged Cisco which was hard to do :-(

It has got dualband as stated but it is not concurrent so looks like its a singe radio access point that can operate in either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz but not at the same time.

The signal coverage exceeds the Cisco some much have a larger DBi antennae output level. But it still is poor in performance when matched up with a third party N type wireless AP/router. I would recommend using a third party AC compatible access point, if not used for gaming or VPN I wouldn't bother with bridging it.

My problem was I only had four downstream channels locking on on my Cisco and could never attain the full download speed, even when wired to a Gigabit port using a Cat 6 cable. I can still only get the four downstream channels as opposed to the eight I should be getting even on this new router.

I sent screen caps to tech support,(who said they couldn't read them????), I also showed their cable tech today who said he would raise it to the next support level as he has never seen this before. I told him I have for the past four years :-) Can't fault the cabling lads service they have been spot on, I just need to get to the right support people.

The EVW3226 is a more powerful router but still the wireless performance is still lacking even when legacy b/g is turned off at 2.4Ghz. Aesthetically it also is quite big so takes up a larger footprint than the old Cisco models.

As said it hasn't solved my problems but that's not down to the router.

Thanks for the info on the new modem. While it seems to be an improvement, still not really what we are looking for to finally properly fix UPC's wifi performance.

I think we will need a dual channel, dual radio AC model to do that.

jumbobreakfast · 15-01-2015 12:37pm

Good news on the bridging option. Besides improved wifi I think that a lot of people who get high speed broadband also play games so it makes sense that they can use their own router to prevent their gaming traffic getting choked by other people in the house uploading. I chose where I live based on UPC coverage (sounds crazy I know) but if I can't use my own router then I'd have to switch ISP.

I got one of these recently and unfortunately, no, you can only have 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio active at once not both

. It's a crying shame because that would seem to be a basic function.

Hi

I got one of these routers on sat but since then I've had speed issues with it. Technician came out yesterday checked everything and ran tests and reckons the problem is outside, he forwarded it to the line team to look into. Speeds I've been getting, 30-50 down 25 up laptop wired directly phone/tab wireless 30-40 down 20up. I'm on 240 limitless.

Being a novice i'm looking to see if anyone knows if a black vpn plug in router (sorry cant post link) will work (without massive technical input from me) on upc ubee router, just want it for my freesat players.

Thanks for any help !

jodina2 · 16-01-2015 9:33am

i have recently received one of these ubee evw3226 as i upgraded to 240mb last saturday and since then im only getting up to 30mb from it and a technician said that my line coming int my place has a great singnal, almost to great so these boxs must no be up to it.im ringing upc everyday and they just keep saying ring back tommorow. when i upgraded shouldnt the speeds switch straight away from when i upgraded or does it take a few days to come through

Sounds like you are still on your old profile of 30mb/s UPC need to switch the profile to 240mb/s Probably takes two days to go ahead, you should keep calling them.

I would post in the UPC forum, they can check your profile and it saves ringing constantly(also generally there very helpful and seem to be better at doing things than the phone support guys can be)

I've used the link:

http://192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/setup.cgi?gonext=RgSystemSwitchMode

I set it to bridge mode and the box reboots but it comes back up and its still in router mode and when I look at the page its back to router mode.

Its EVW3226_1.0.15c version so maybe thats an issue.

I'm on the same FW ,when it reboots a new tab appears , choose bridge mode and "save" , It will reboot again and be in bridge once it backup and running .

Are you testing it via direct ethernet cable?

First make sure you test it that way. It should give you about 240mb/s

IF it continues to give you about 30mb/s, then it is probably because you haven't been proviosioned for the new 240mb/s profile yet, contact UPC support.

If you get about 90mb/s or so, it might be because you are using an old cat5 cable ethernet cable only capable of max 100mb/s or similarly your laptops ethenet port is only 10/100.

If you get close to 240mb/s then it is a wifi problem and probably time to join the Glorious High End Router Master Race

(e.g. buy a high end wifi router to connect to it).

Yup just plug it in and have everything hang over that. Also make sure the Cisco is setup on a different network (192.168.1.1) and it's DHCP issuing IP's on that range. That should get you started quiet well.

You can then go further and potentially set the UPC modem to bridge mode (means it only works as a simple modem), but I don't think anyone has tried doing this yet with this new modem.

Kintarō Hattori · 20-01-2015 11:25pm

Folks- I had the old Cisco modem and was on an old package with them (30Mbps max). Having recently upgraded to Horizon my Wi-Fi speeds have gone from 23Mbps on an old 54G adapter to about 84Mbps having changed to a dual band adapter on the 2.4Ghz setting.
I'm in no position to connect via cable so Wi-Fi is where it's at for the moment. Is there likely to be any speed increase connecting to the 5Ghz setting?

breeno · 20-01-2015 11:33pm

I had this modem fitted yesterday and I must say I'm very impressed. Where the horizon gave me max 55mb over wifi, this bad boy is giving my android phone 82mb down. Even in my attic 2 stories up, horizon would give me 20/30mb down and I'm now getting 50 or so. Wired is giving me the full 120mb, clocking in around 122mb.

The multicolour lights might take a bit of getting used to though :P

Kintarō Hattori · 20-01-2015 11:40pm

I do have an issue with the modem which I can't seem to resolve without resetting it. The PC seems to have trouble establishing a connection sometimes and while it'll connect locally, it can't access the internet. The only way to fix the problem is to reset the modem

Phones, tablets, Chromecast are all fine, it's just the PC. I had thought maybe it was the old Trendnet 54G adapter I was using but it's happening still with a dualband TP Link unit.

Any ideas?

Have you tested by directly connecting an ethernet cable from your pc to the UPC router and running speedtest.upc.ie

If you still get 30mb/s then it is because you are still on your old DOCSIS 2 profile and you need to call UPC to change that.

If you do get 240mb/s then the slowness is due to poor wifi and as discussed for the millionth time here in dozens of threads, you should get a new high qualiy wifi router of your own and plug it into the UPC router to get close to full performance over wifi.

Is anyone able to set up port forwarding on this device? The manual that came with the router shows the advanced settings and port forwarding options but unfortunately on my router these options aren't visible?

Thanks.

fearanphoist · 23-01-2015 10:53am

the port forwarding function seems to disappear when you plug in the co-ax............ if you reset the router without the co-ax ( i have had a few models now off upc ) and log into the router settings port forwarding is in the advanced tab but when you plug in the co-ax it reflashes the router and when it boots back up - login and it will be gone ( firmware change ) . UPC are denying this but maybe its me and i am pretty sure its not me , they have edited the code so the gui doesnt show the options - the reason being that joe soaps are ringing up annoying them about port forwarding and havent a clue blocking the lines.

I'm switching providers

Or you can ring up and threaten to leave if they don't send you a router that supports port forwarding.

If you look back to the start of this thread Sharkman posted how to bridge the router so perhaps go down that route i.e. Bridge it, buy a different router (doesn't have to be that fancy if you just want basic functionality, 30 quid would get you something to work with today but maybe worth spending more for the long haul)

saw that dave but i am trying to get it working first without going out to buy another box , on the same principle of using the private link , i am playing around with , "192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/setup.cgi?gonext=RgAdvancedForwarding" , i get the menu and apply my changes etc but still no joy , i was under the impression that they just hide the GUI links in the admin setup, if the bridge mode works through the link provided above in another post surely the same applies for any of these which are hidden :

"192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/setup.cgi?gonext=RgAdvancedForwarding"

"192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/setup.cgi?gonext=RgAdvancedDmzHost"

"192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/setup.cgi?gonext=RgAdvancedFirewall"

Your logic is sound however unfortunately UPC's is not, their infrastructure is top notch but their kit is cheap crap and their FW is designed to minimize what people can do so that it reduces queries to their helplines. If you have the option to bridge (and maybe Sharkman can confirm if it works) then run with it and don't look back, ever!
