<p>+1 for Vigor 130, Using 2x of them at work(bridge mode). Using
v3.8.0m4 firmware..<br>
Got 1 unit doing 103/49Mbit sync to the node on one unit(within
100meters to the node).</p>
<p> The other is on ADSL2+ awaiting churn to VDSL2 and is in bridge
mode no issues too..<br>

<div dir="ltr">Yeah the Vigor 130 is awesome, with one caveat - it
struggles to maintain sync if you're 'too' close to the node.
The one I had was rock-solid when I was 590m to the node. When
we shifted to our current place, which is only 90m to the node,
it refused to maintain sync for more than ~30 minutes at a
time). They also sync slightly lower than other modems.. (58/17
at our previous place, compared to 63/21 on a TG799 and NF4V).

<div>I'm using a Huawei HG658 at the moment, and it's quite
rock solid in bridge mode - with the caveat that any port
you put into bridge with the PTM interface drops out of the
LAN bridge, so you need TWO ethernet ports connected, if you
want to be able to manage the device while in bridge mode.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The NF4V is a horrendous router, but does ok in bridge
mode - though I've seen it do strange things where it won't
actually bridge to the LAN unless there's an active PPPOE
session up on the modem itself.</div>

<div>If the customer isn't too close to the node, I'd definitely
go the 130, because once you load the vectoring firmware (make
sure you do!), it 'just works'. If they are close to the
node, I'd use the HG658.</div>

there's a VDSL equivalent to the venerable

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Looking
for a no frills VDSL modem to use purely in
bridge mode is proving harder than expected. I
don't want any WiFi, VoIP ata, switch or any
other functionality. VDSL WAN and a single LAN
interface would be ideal in a small physical
package would be ideal.</p>
