The VMG8324-B10A is an ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+/VDSL combined Modem/Router/GbESwitch that has recently become available in the UK.
If your VMG8324 is shipped with the default firmware, the quick start setup doesn't work for VDSL. Latest firmware versions can be obtained from ZyXEL support.
The following guide tells you how to set up your Zyxel router for VDSL2.
