Vodafone Power Station / Vox30
This is the Vodafone Vox30 CPE shipped for different types of fixed line technology in various countries. It supports ADSL2+/VDSL2 broadband connections as well as FTTH connections (either via its Ethernet WAN port or the side-mounted SFP port). It also provides two FXS ports for VoIP-to-POTS telephony gateway features as well as two USB 2.0 ports (one of them is recessed and meant to house an internet key).
There are two known models of this device, one made by Technicolor (THG3000) and one made by Sercomm (SHG3000). Both models share the same hardware and firmware.
The Vodafone Vox30 has been marketed under different names, which are:
- Vodafone Power Station (SHG3000, distributed in Italy)
- Vodafone Gigabox (SHG3000, distributed in Ireland)
- Vodafone Wi-Fi Hub (THG3000, distributed in the UK)
OpenWrt support
Not supported.
- SoC: There is support in kernel mainline: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10.31/source/arch/arm/mach-bcm/Kconfig#L185.
But a new Broadcom ARM bcm63xx target is required for Openwrt support. - Wifi: BCM4360 no driver in Linux Kernel and likely missing firmware brcmfmac
