    I know people have said they've gotten port forwarding to work but I'm having no joy.

    Can those you got it to work advise of what version firmware they are on and any tricks they needed to do?

    Does anyone notice the wifi on this router is much improved for an hr or so after a reboot before falling right off again?
    For a short period after a reboot I was getting speeds of 40MB , now it's fallen off again to the usual 1-3mb.

    leinster dub, read this " Hi damojag, I've figured it out, here is the fix: when you get to the WAN Interface field it can be one of tree settings, ETHWAN, VDSL or pppo3G. Most likely settings will be either ETHWAN or VDSL depending on your package. See which one doesn't give the error message, Then just populate the rest of the fields with the desired ports. WAN IP field is optional & can be left blank. Best of Luck.

    enjoying port forward for security cams....

    and this is the link, take you time.

    Thanks swoofer but I'm not getting an error, it just failing to forward the traffic.

    I've tried all the WAN interfaces too

    Hi,

    Try the following:

    Use VDSL as WAN interface.
    Turn off upnp on router and device you want to forward to.
    Do not enter WAN IP.

    Configure ports as format below:

    Server IP Trigger start Trigger End Trans start Trans end Protocol
    192.168.0.12 50000 50000 80 80 TCP

    Reboot router.

    I don't want to start a new thread, as I am certain there are are lot in the same boat as me. Changed over to fibre a few weeks ago from ADSL which was slow but reliable. Now with the new setup the Zyxel modem crashes whenever I use a high bandwidth application and have to power cycle the modem to connect to the internet again. Contacted Eircom support who claimed to have remotely rejigged the modem settings, but the problem still remains. I am prepared to change the modem setup so as to use it in bridging mode with another router I have, but has anyone others found this to be a stable satisfactory solution to this problem? Thanks.

    I'm using the bridging configuration since I got the router, without pppoe, and I have no stability problem.
    My line is not the best, due to the distance. I have around 24/14 Mbit.

    As per my experience, it's not worth the time to try to get a "router" provided by an ISP to work as you like. Also, you can use really what you like as you router :)

    Just had efibre installed today and initially very happy, sync at 102mb/20mb and speedtests all show consistent 92/19 downloads. Now the weird bit, as soon as I fire up sabnzbd my F1000 router will drop sync, I see SNR drop from 12db to -6db and the line drops. Once I stop sabnzbd everything stabilizes. I tried changing from SSL to non SSL and different port numbers including 23, 8080, 563 etc but it drops every time. I also tried downgrading the firmware to b2 but it made no difference. Any other high speed downloads is perfect including torrents. I can FTP from heanet.ie at 9-10MB/s and no drops.

    Anyone have any ideas or is this yet another bug with this crappy modem?

    Thanks

    Folks,
    My query relates back the port forwarding issue discussed earlier on this thread - I have an Eircom F1000 [Firmware 1.00(AAHA.4)D0], - what I want to ask is I'm interested in getting a Foscam FI9831P which is an ip camera (so I can watch the dog while I'm at work), the camera is 'Plug n Play' and has QR Code setup which means it supposedly passby's the need to configure your router for port forwarding etc - I'm just hoping it'll work, or I'm just wondering with no one on this thread apparently having much luck with setting up port forwarding manually on the F1000 will the QR Code setup even work at all if the ports are blocked - or does anyone think the QR Code setup might work ? Or has anyone managed to successfully manually setup port forwarding for ip cameras on the Eircom F1000 with the same firmware version that I have above ? Any thoughts on this appreciated.

    I would not recommend upgrading. I tried it and my wifi was terrible. It was stopping for an hr or two several times a day and needing constant restarts. Got another eircom modem on the older firmware and it works much better, although wifi is still abysmal.

    I was having version: 1.00(AAHA.4)D0 firmware before I decided to down-grade to version :1.00(AAHA.3)D0 now I have lost some functionality on it and will like to go back to version: 1.00(AAHA.4)D0 So I need the link., This is not available again on Eircom site. If anyone have it downloaded pls send me the link.

    Does anyone else have trouble logging into this modem?
    I find once I log in I'm just met with the spinning loading symbol on the screen. I can click the bottom menus but the also never load once selected.

    Hi, just moved house and no UPC so went for Eircom's efibre....now I can't even watch a Youtube vid without it buffering constantly...speedtest is showing about 40 dl and 20 up so it's not the speed and when I run a connection test through my Ps4 it gives a warning at the bottom saying something like router does not support ip packet fragmentation, network features will be restricted and also speed is showing less than 1mbps!!! I'm not very tech savvy but I can access router and change settings if anyone has any idea. Thanks in advance.

    I have just received the eircom F1000 modem and most devices are working - iPad, iPhone, PC, smart tv.
    However my sons Asus tablet goes into a reboot cycle every time it tries to connect.

    Has anyone had this problem and anyone now a fix?

    Thanks a mil - he is very upset as you can imagine. He's only 9.

    Grizz,
    I would doubt that it's anything to do with your new eircom router if all other household devices are working ok, but perhaps its a problem with the tablet itself, try bring it on another wifi location (a local library or a friend or neighbours house) to see if the same thing happens, if it does then it could be faulty and I'd bring it back to where you got it.

    richm1975,
    That's very strange, I've eircom eFibre and I've YouTube, Netflix etc on several devices (SmartTV, iPad, android tablet ) and I don't get buffering issues - ever. Try resetting the modem. You shouldn't need to change any settings on router, if want to access the router it's http://192.168.1.254/ from your browser.

    Thanks Joe Soap,
    The tablet works in the neighbours without any problem, it's just this router that causes the problem. If I disable wifi on the tablet (I get about 5 seconds before it reboots) it won't reboot. But as soon as I enable wifi, it reboots and reboots each time it starts.

    That's very strange, it could be a compatibility issue with the router or vice-versa, go into the router settings and make sure the router is set to '802.11b/g/n Mixed' so it's using all wifi modes. Also, is it possible to check it another eircom router - a neighbour or friend who might also have eFibre to see does it happen with theirs as well.

    You arent the only one. (Google is your friend)

    It seems it doesnt play nice with certain routers. But as its the first device other than legacy macs to conflict with the F1000 that I've heard of I'd have to say its dodgy firmware by Asus. The fact that it reboots would indicate its crashing a system process when the DHCP call fails.

    I'd add a guest access point to the F1000's config, delete the normal eircomXXXX ssid from the tablet when not in range, then try and connect to the guest one. See what happens.

    After that, go for a cheap AP just for the tab.

    Folks,

    I'm having trouble setting up my dvr to port forward with the efibre f1000 router.
    Should the defaut gateway be set at 192.168.1.1 on the DVR? All settings on new router look like they start with XXX.XXX.1.X

    I have set the forwarding rule to TCP 50000(triggerPort) 80(start Port). However my dvr has the settings (server port 9000) and (HTTP Port 80).

    I can now view the DVR on my pc locally but not on my phone or tablet

    School boy error on my part and I hope this helps a few others.

    THe default gateway on most devices is 192.168.0.1. If you have this set manually on your devices this needs to be changed to match the default gateway of your new router which is 192.168.1.254. DNS Settings may also need to be checked.
