VR1600v router connected to NBN via HFC supplies full speed to wifi connected devices without problems throughout. But on rebooting our LAN connected machines, their speed dropped to nearly zero. Still internet, but pings very slow (only 4th set responds), only affecting the LAN connection, while wifi is supplied at full speed. Rebooting the router (while LAN machines are on!) restores full internet speed to LAN network. It's still a problem (ie. after power failures), as we also log in to our LAN connected machines via VPN when physically absent (can't manually reboot router) and require reliable, speedy internet connection to work. Solution: Our home network is using static IP addresses (ie. for RDP) and the router (expecting dynamic network IPs) had trouble recognising the static IPs on reboot. To fix, reconfig router default settings: Network Map - Advanced - Network - LAN Settings - Scroll to 'Address Reservation' and enter the correct static IP address for each connected machine on your LAN network. LAN is now working correctly on reboot. ... View more

Recently switched to NBN50 via HFC with iinet, who also supplied TP-Link modem Archer VR1600v v2 in Dec 2019. Firmware version 0.1.0.0.9.1 v5006.0 Build 190228 Rel. 72265n We had successful install, stable NBN connection with expected speeds, excellent wifi - but intermittent failure of outgoing voip calls. Troubleshooting incl. changing phones, voip phone ports to no avail. Router phone port light is on, incoming call works, dail tone works, but on dialing any number, instead of connecting, you get a constant loud digital tone. Rebooting the router sometimes fixes the problem, but not always. It's intermittent, may take several reboots to work again, very frustrating. When describing problem to iinet support, they're unable to help (not trained to assist on the device they supplied) and refer to manaufacturer TP Link. Support call to TP Link in early Dec advises to try firmware upgrade and if that does not work, we may have a router fault and they will replace the device. We are running the latest firmware. IT guy looked at router settings again yesterday, may have identified the issue: In router settings: Network Status - Advanced - Bandwidth Control - Telephony Bandwidth Guarantee, the 'Enable' box was unticked. Now enabled - no outgoing call issues since.  ... View more
