- robotmay 6y agoI’ve never had a device brick by removing the power. The only button on the Vigor 130 immediately cuts the power too: there’s no “shutdown” button.
- lrossi 6y agoYour device’s firmware is not even able to keep a connection up for a few hours. Which is its main function. Do you trust that they tested its code for recovering partitions that were not unmounted cleanly?
- robotmay 6y agoThere’s no problem with the device: I triggered the failures/packet loss manually by pulling the cable to test the system. The actual packet loss is intermittent and reasonably rare, and is I suspect a fault at the line level with BT/OpenReach. A&A didn’t provide me with the Vigor 130 btw, it’s my own device. In general I find DrayTek devices very solid and I’ve not had any issues so far when powercycling it over the past few years. It’s pretty much a stateless device, as the actual connection is established from the router on my side of it.
