Cisco 887VA-M not running at ADSL2+ speeds

Hello

We just changed a basic dsl modem for a Cisco 887VA DSL router and the throughput is very bad.the line and profile support ADSL2+.  We have checked with the provider and there are not line faults and the profile applied by the provider is 2mb/12Mb [the line can support 2.5Mb/26Mb] up and down.

We are running the following IOS: c880data-universalk9-mz.152-4.M3.bin

When we run ISP speed tests we are getting about about 500Kb/3Mb up/down with about 240ms ping tests.

Do you know if there is an issue with the ADSL2+ operation on this Cisco DSL router. It should be transparent, as regards configuration, as far as I am aware.

Thanks

Nick

What ISP are you using?  I had the same issue with when I replaced an a standard router on a BT line with a Cisco 877 and it was terrible and BY said they don't support Cisco (what!!).  I then found out that Cisco had a newer modem version not IOS for the 877 to deal with ADSL+2 and the Annex M, well as soon as I upgraded this and rebooted it was an istand success and bu VPN was stable and much faster.

Hello Andy. this is a brand new router, hot off the shelf. Surely I must be able to apply a Cisco update to it, if required.

So it looks like you are getting 12mb downlaod and 2mb upload?  Is is stable atleast?

Your IOS seems quite up-to-date I think you modem version is from 2012 and there is a newer version so you coudl perhaps try updating that to:

A2pv6C035l.d23j

Thanks

Hello Andy

It is working quite well now, considering it is ADSL.  I just did a speed test and we are getting a 26ms ping/ 7.3 MB down and 1.7MB up. I will look at the modem software shortly. Thanks for the input and best of luck [ we removed some firewalling on the router, so am wondering if it was slowing in down also]. Anyhow, case closed. Cheers Nick

Thanks, yeah check the CPU output.

Please rate if I was any help.

Kind regards
