said third party devices aren't allowed, and the port will be
re-enabled when the Telstra tech comes to complete the install
with the Telstra-supplied modem. But annoying as they had told me
during ordering that I COULD use my own VDSL modem. </blockquote>
Who was "they"? I believe NBN aren't providing CPE, leaving the CPE
up to each RSP to sort out - so you might get "you can use your own
CPE" from an NBNco (sorry - an *<b>nbn</b>*) person.<br>
<br>
I've heard Telstra as the RSP are insisting on using only their
supplied CPE (something about certification and testing), so if you
were ordering it through Telstra (retail or wholesale), you can't
use your own.<br>
<br>
I believe the modem must support full vectoring, with a vectored
chipset compatible with the NBN's DSLAMs - un-vectored VDSL2
doesn't cut it, and detection of a VDSL2 CPE that doesn't include
vector capability will cause the DSLAM or management system to
disable the port, to prevent unvectored interference.<br>
<br>
Just ignore that most MDU lines aren't long enough that vectored vs
un-vectored makes a significant difference.<br>
<br>
I see the Draytek page says "With firmware version 3.7.5, Vigor130
supports VDSL2 Vectoring" - so perhaps check your firmware, and
whether vectoring support was enabled in the config, and give it
another try.<br>
