Zyxel vs. Vodafone Easybox with VDSL 50
I ran in some trouble with my Vodafone Easybox 904 xDSL. Even with 2Ghz and 5Ghz WLAN I had regularly drops. Had to turn on / off the WLAN on the device or had to reboot it to reconnect. Otherwise the VDSL line reguarly got disconnected, also replacing the Easybox from Vodafone didn’t helped, so I bought a Zyxel VMG1312-B30A.
Search through the interwebs and took me a while to figure out what settings are required. In case you want doing the same, I want to share my settings to safe you some time:
Broadband Settings

Extended xDSL Settings

Connection went online and speed test gives me 50 MBit downstream and 10 Mbit upstream. I run a tinc VPN to have a flat management network for all my servers and runs without any trouble so fare. Just to mention, I don’t use the Vodafone voice functionality.
So far gl & hf
