    Hi,

    I think the firmware on my router was updated over night to software version V100R001C172B227.

    I think another line on the connection status tab was added: PTM_VOIP_IPTV_R_VID_10 access type VDSL.

    Can others who are on Vodafone Fibre check too?

    Thanks

    Yep the firmware was updated
    They have also changed the superuser password and cut off my sip trunk
    Not a happy bunny

    Oh well back to DDWRT

    It'll be pushed over TR069. Sometimes your device will stop talking to the management node, usually reboots restore it and if not a reset definitely will.

    Depending on how Vodafone manage CPE they may roll it out to 50k units per night for several nights or something along those lines, so yours may be yet to come.

    I plugged my HG658c back in yesterday evening and surely enough, it updated to B227 on the dot of 2AM this morning. I had it set to factory defaults on B218 and again reset it to factory defaults on B227 so I'll be able to compare what's changed by decrypting the config files and looking at what's added or removed

    Straight of the bat, I see in the GUI that they've enabled their own SIP service and have included an Irish dial-plan (logged in with superuser). Also, they've added two new pre-configured WAN profiles for PTM and Ethernet with the IPTV and VOIP services checked. My initial thoughts are that this update is aimed at those who might be getting FTTH with Siro, as they'll be connecting over the Ethernet WAN and they'll need a VOIP phone service. Also, maybe Vodafone are planning on rolling out IPTV to Siro and VDSL customers soon

    I'll post some comparison images and compare the config files when I can post them up here

    PTM_VOIP_IPTV_R_VID_10 is certainly for VDSL customers, so they may start using eirs multicast platform for tv services.

    This really is great as it means we'll have 1 OTA(+Saorview/Freesat) and 3x fixed line tv providers. Finally real choice in that market.

    Yep, that's one of the new interfaces they added and an ETH_VOIP... equivalent

    Poking around here, it seems they've also enabled and configured QoS and looking at Link Interfaces (superuser), they've added 2 links each for both PTM and ETH. There's the default "VLAN-ID: 10, 802.1P: 0" interface but now a second "VLAN-ID: 10, 802.1P: 4" interface for both PTM and ETH. Is this because IPTV will come on it's own session, sorta like how we could have two PPPoE sessions with ADSL?

    Eir do the same, they have QoS lanes for VOIP and IPTV as well as regular traffic and a fallback one (IIRC).

    VOIP and IPTV get a realtime classification and everything else is normal priority. You can see eirs QoS Scheme in the handbook.

    Thanks ed e. Your contributions here are excellent

    If anyone wants to compare the differences between the decrypted config files from version B218 and B227, see the link below

    https://www.diffchecker.com/ad0dcbqg

    Both config files are as factory defaults for each version, I've just removed some identifiable information
    Along with the aforementioned modifications above, they seem to have made a number of tweaks to their own device management settings



    For the curious too, below is the debug log showing the upgrade triggering lastnight

    Thanks for the suggestion a factory reset has restored the password and now I can get back in and set it back up
    cheers :-)

    Is there a way to delete the ACL back door route for vodafone to remote into the modem
    it wont let me remove it ?

    Great to hear

    I've checked about deleting the ICMP and HTTPS entries in ACL and surely enough, it returns "Parameters invalid"
    Maybe you could write them out of the config file (decrypt, edit, re-encrypt, upload)
    <ACLInstance InstanceID="3" X_Service="ICMP" X_Direction="WAN" X_StartIpAddr="213.233.159.69" X_EndIpAddr="213.233.159.69"/>

    worth a shot
    I can get hold of a spare hg 658 and try

    No its not DDwrt compatible

    I bought a netgear wnr2200 for €10 a while ago when it was announced the US were trying to get some kind of ban on DDwrt firmware as it gave your average joe a chance to use a vpn router without the large outlay
    Meaning more people they could not track or should probably say more difficult to track

    Im now having doubts about putting any sip account details into this router with the vodafone back door password you could be leaving yourself open to
    a very real risk of toll fraud if some scanger connects to your router and copies you account details and runs up a large bill calling some relatives in a land far far away

    I also seem to have received this upgrade, and am having problems since. I am getting error messages when I connect, the windows 10 troubleshooter says the DHCP server needs to be reset. This happens daily, and the only solution is to turn off and on the router.
    I was considering doing a factory reset, but I don't know what info was added when the router was installed, and what is default data.
    If I do a factory reset, what information do I need to note down from the current configuration?

    All the settings for it to work properly are stored in the memory and aren't lost when you reset the router.

    Since my Vodafone router was updated to B227, I could no longer ping my IP address such as from my workplace even though I could still connect to my home PC by remote desktop. I basically ping when I cannot connect to my PC so I know whether my PC or Internet connection is at fault.

    For now, I added the ability to ping my IP from my workplace by logging in as Superuser (which still works) and adding an ACL to allow ICMP traffic from my workplace's fixed IP address.

    In addition to wiping out the Blueface Config settings with this update VF seem to have also disabled VOIP on the connection "PTM_VOIP_INTERNET_R_VID_10". To get Blueface VOIP working again I deleted the VF Voice settings and re-input the Blueface ones then went to the connection setting and enbaled VOIP. I also disabled TR069 on the "PTM_VOIP_INTERNET_R_VID_10" connection which I am hoping may prevent VF applying further updates and wiping out my home phone settings again !!
