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

  • There should be a further deployment subsequent to this one to version LG-RDK_7.6.10-2306.5

    As I understand this resolves some known issues with PPTP and there were malformed packet issues on 6.9 visible in a wireshark. It was reported by Ziggo broadband users in the Netherlands on this hub and acknowledge by the vendor with firmware LG-RDK_7.6.10-2306.5 issued, the cable specification REQUIRES that the service provider issue firmware upgrades directly to the hubs hence virgin have a mandate to deploy it in alignment to the standard. I received it 3 days ago.

    Note I do not work with virgin specifically but this hub is mass market used all over the world.

      Any one running LG-RDK_7.6.10-2306.5

      That firmware yet 

  •  I have SC-QAM 4096 on downstream as well, on upstream the 5 3.0 upstream channels are all QAM 16, and the one 3.1 upstream channel is QAM 256.

     

  • Today - a week later - it has returned to QAM64.

    I don't know if I am imagining this but there seems to be a correlation between my upload going down to QAM16 and there being a lot of rain!

      Water ingress into copper cables can cause all sorts of issues so no, you are probably not imagining things.

      I had this a few years back, and it was the street cabinet was not keeping the rain out.  Once it was fixed, the circuit was back up and running as it should.
