    <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>
          <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><br>
          </div>
        </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>
