Hi Kymmy - No that wasn't one of the IP addresses

Chrysalis - as far as I am aware the only extra option the business version of thefirmware has is - under basic settings there are some extra options in connection with the L2TP tunnel that is used to provide the static IP addresses:-

Cable Network Settings
Domain Name
Device Name
WAN Connection Type L2TP(DHCP)
PPP User Name *********
PPP Password *********
L2TP Server xx.xx.xx.xx (Host name or IP)


There are also entries under Static IP Subnet setup but I think I've seen that same set of options on the residential firmware.

As mentioned before modem mode is not provided in this firmware. SSH is disabled, but telnet is enabled, though the GUI login ID & Password do not grant access to the telnet interface.

Since the device is in no NAT mode as I have 5 routable IP addresses the port forwarding options are not present.

In no NAT mode the Firewall Features checkbox in Services is greyed out and unticked.

The base code version is the same - 5.5.2, but I am unsure if R04-BU is a derivative of the R04 build for the residential Superhub (very old!) or whether the -BU stream is a totally separate stream.


I am on the 50 Mb/s business service and in an area that has not yet received the upstream bandwidth increases, however it seems the business service in a non upgraded area is not set the same as the residential one:-

Primary Downstream Service Flow
Downstream(0)
SFID 21328
Max Traffic Rate 54600000 bps
Max Traffic Burst 10000 bytes
Mix Traffic Rate 0 bps

Primary Upstream Service Flow
Upstream(0)
SFID 21327
Max Traffic Rate 3490000 bps
Max Traffic Burst 8160 bytes
Mix Traffic Rate 0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst 8160 bytes
Scheduling Type Best Effort

After chatting to someone in an area that has had the upstream increase that is set to 5700000 bps

EVen though I have upstream set to 3.49 Mb/s I rarely achieve over 2.2 - 2.5 Mb/s upstream. Downstream seems a solid 47 Mb/s
