*VDSL2 is not supported, so these devices cannot be used with FTTC.
*TR-069 is not supported by AA on these devices, so they cannot automatically be remotely configured, monitored or upgraded by AA.
*It is vital that you <b>not expose the LAN-side ethernet interface to users on the LAN</b> unless all possible users and devices on the LAN are trusted, because of various critical security bugs in the modem in this respect. Because of such bugs, setting passwords on the modem’s admin web UI etc is ''not enough''. If your router happens to prevent LAN-internal users from accessing the modem then so much the better, otherwise your main router’s facilities, internal firewalling and access controls could be exploited. A firmware upgrade to release v1.06 or higher could well help fix security problems concerning access without any administrative login.

*Chipset: The currently shipping DSL-320B-Z1 units (at the time of writing, December 2017) use an old but capable MediaTek/TrendChip chipset. The older “-D1” routers were Broadcom-based.
*Incorrect manufacturer’s defaults: The default settings shown in the router’s web admin user interface show <b>defaults that are very much sub-optimal</b>. DSL bitswap is set to <em>off</em> by default according to the web admin user interface. These settings need to be amended - see following section.
