New virgin hub 5 firmware LG-RDK_6.9.35-2302.6
My router just rebooted and now I'm on this new firmware.
Any word on what's changed or fixed ?
I noticed on the stats page now it properly shows docsis 3.0 and 3.1 channels for download and upload

DOCSIS 3.1 Count of Uncorrectable Errors shows as Zero.
A good job these guys don't work for Airbus !

It is right up there going all the way to the mid-split diplex filter roll-off. I wasn't aware they were using the extra return path in the mid-split areas, thought it was all crammed under 65 MHz, but clearly they are.
200 Mbps upload is certainly feasible in mid-split areas.
"I noticed on the stats page now it properly shows docsis 3.0 and 3.1 channels for download and upload" about time.
what is this corrected errors field mine is massive!
3.1 Downstream channels
Channel ID Locked Status RxMER Data (dB) PLC Power (dBmV) Corrected errors (Active Profile) Uncorrectable errors (Active Profile)159 Locked 38 -3.2 1269097399 0 Mine is same yep
noticed the times are GMT now not two hours out like before also cleare out the cache on your browsers because I could not get some pages to display after a reboot but clearing cache sorted it 🙂 Worried about those corrected errors though because after a reboot they were at a millions already..
Post a link to a paper discussing the norms for ODFM error rates
Many thanks.FWIW there is a lively debate on this on a Canadian user forum here
(I'm fetching my anorak)
"One thing that we were able to demonstrate during our testing is that the LDPC error correction algorithm is so powerful that we can see 100% correctable errors and still run error-free with some margin left before dropping the modulation."
it is standard operation. Higher modulation > higher throughput. Let the powerful FEC fix the errors. You cannot tell from the counter how many error bits there are per codeword (how hard it must work). A single flipped bit will result in a corrected codeword (these codewords are also much bigger than the Reed-Solomon codewords used by the SC-QAM channels).
Interesting topic, over my head admittedly. It may explain why my Hub 5 is reporting huge numbers of Downstream PreRS errors? The actual circuit seems to be fine in speed tests, BQM etc. so I'm not overly bothered.
I've asked VM to check their end for anomalies and await the reply.
My HUB 5 got the update this morning around 5:45am.
No-one mentioned the new 'feature':
my hub has been rebooting overnight possibly because of failed update. So I did a pinhole reset it today and the version has reverted to the one prior to this update LG-RDK_4.6.24-2206.7.. I am wandering whether they have pulled this version?
I was having issues with service reliability (intermittent packet loss yet again!) and was asked to pin hole reset (60 secs) and my Hub 5 also reverted to previous firmware version - think you’re right (they’ve pulled it).
Mines been fine on the new firmware, however I'm in modem mode.
Since receiving the new firmware my upstream modulation has dropped to QAM 16 and my BQM has been continually solid red. I have rebooted the hub a few times over the last week but nothing has changed.
Has your Public IP changed?
I don't think it has.
