Attached is firmware 2.32d.dh52 with new DMT code A2pv6F039i.d24m

This firmware might not increase your sync rate, but should be more compatible with newer exchanges

Firmware deleted for now while we investigate authentication issues

I tried this version and while the DSL synchronised, I could not authenticate with Plusnet (the green internet light would not come on)
I tried defaults too and reconfiguring but still did not work

The only way I could get the internet to work again was to roll back to 2.32d.dh14 and reload my settings.

Anyone else had any issues?

Yep I have found the same issue, so users should not upgrade to this firmware for now, while I investigate (at least I know I'm not alone)

I have had exactly the same problems as you, had to roll back to the original f/ware to get the router to connect to the net

Don't worry we will investigate this new DMT code and see where the authentication issues are

I will update this thread in due course.

sweet, as long as it wasn't just me I was scratching me head

is it possible to bring the firmware back but with a warning ppp is broken?

I use my billion 8800nl in bridge mode so I wont have authentication issues.

I'd rather wait for the firmware to fixed before release, issue has already been escalated to our engineers.

Any news on this firmware?
Did anyone grab a copy they can let me have to try as I am in Bridge mode.

I don't think we are going to release this new DMT code, as there is issues with our hardware

The firmware also doesn't work in bridge mode,
