TP-LINK Archer VR900 AC 1900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VDSL2/ADSL2+ Modem Router

[Automan]

No problems with the Beta with Youview but error packet count on the modem goes up into the hundreds in under 24hours.

My old TD-W9980 never displayed anything but zero.

Also with the VR900 with both official and beta firmware the Upstream Line Attenuation db value is always blank.

[Automan]

One more thought/question is BT Inifinity Annex A or B?

Or perhaps it does not matter?

One of my TP-Links goes for 'B' and the VR900 'A' with not even an option to try 'B'

Decided to order this as the price is £128.95 on Amazon 🙂

Still not happy with the high error rate and missing data :(

Anyone else get 0db for Upstream Line Attenuation or a high error rate?

it must be specific to you line, i have 0 errors downstream and a hundred or so upstream but stability is rock solid....im not worried about the few upstream as compared to the many hundreds of thousands successfully transmitted this is a drop in the ocean...

Will do tonight but as I have cancelled my Youview (price rise) the fixes no longer matter to me...

Edit: Installed but still think it is odd the attenuation value is zero and still getting errors (none with other model)

[baconnugget]

I just installed the new firmware, my attenuation value is zero too. The previous version wasnt zero.
