VR1600v firmware download

[Riezl]

Hi @hong7777, we had a look at your account and we can see that you're on NBN Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) service and it is advisable for customers to use an NBN FTTP compatible router only device.

We currently provide TP Link C1200 (Router Only) for this type of service.

The TP Link VR1600v is a VDSL Modem-Router. May we know where did you get this equipment? Are you going to use this for your NBN FTTP service?

0.1.0 0.9.1 v5006.0 Build 190228 Rel.72265n

thanks for the reply!



I'm pretty happy with this connection, I get around 80mbps but the ping isn't exceptional. as far as I know fttb should have really low ping like 1-10ms. if I test my ping I get 33-36ms to www.tpg.com.au or www.google.com.au which is a ping of a normal ADSL. I know many people on FTTB have much lower ping than mine.

any solutions?

Glad to know that you are satisfied with the speed, @nic85! 

Ping test results are actually not service affecting unless it reaches up to 150ms. Anything below 20ms is still considered to be great. 

Here are some ways to reduce ping times: 

1. Close any background programs and websites.
2. Connect your device to your router via Ethernet cable (specially when you are playing online games)
3. Reduce the number of devices using Wi-Fi
4. Move closer to the router

It is best if you can perform speedtest over wired connection for best results. 

Cheers!

20ms would be great but usually my ping is 45-50 on games servers. not happy at all.

I did all the test with wired ethernet connection, nobody is using internet expect of me, no other programs are running in background.

fiber is supposed to have a better ping than a normal ADSL. my ping is like having an ADSL but I'm with fiber.. can any technician have a look please? I've also tried to change dns with no better results.

an example.. this guy has normally 16ms on www.tpg.com.au, while I have 34-36ms MORE THAN DOUBLE!
