Title: Lot of issues this morning
Post by: andrue on Oct 26, 2013, 07:57:58
Wow, what a morning. My old router couldn't hold a PPPoE connection for some reason. Had to go back to my DLink.

Now I'm getting appalling results from the TBB tester (IPv6 and IPv4). Speedtest.net seems okay though.

Edit: Huh. Seems like it's my new router. My old DLink seems fine.

It could be just one of those days :(

I lost sync at about 6am and had to swap to a spare modem to get it back. I'll try the suspect one again later- don't want to irritate the DLM more than I have to!

Fortunately it's the original Openreach Huawei job, not my eBay-purchased spare, so if it's died I'll expect a replacement ;D


edit- I see you've edited out the edit that I quoted :P

Everything seems OK here, though the first tbb speedtest I ran (IPv6) gave silly upload speed and hung before saving the results... next one was OK.

The router issue is still valid I think. I'm now running with the DLink and will prolly leave it that way. Can't understand it - it's a newish router and anyway why would a router suddenly have PPPoE issues. Bah. Anyway I'm back on IPv6 which is nice. Trouble is I forgot that the DLink uses 192.168.1.x so just spent half an hour trying to diagnose issues with my mail server.

Modem seems fine - been connected for over a week at 65Mb/s. Just seems like IDNet can't get me that from TBB   :eyebrow:

Wrong MTU? Should be 1492 for PPPoE iirc.
