Router Configuration Check
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2016 4:48 pm
I have had endless problems with SSE from the outset continuing with constant connection dropouts (fibre). I have learnt not to trust them even right up today. I was meant to have received a new router 2 days ago.. Guess what? Never came. Problem? The person ordering it forgot to add my post code. Error after error. So I decided to check out my technicolor router config.
VDSL - yes
Username/password fine.
PPPOE - fine
MTU - 1500
VLAN - disabled
Checked all the docs I'd been sent but no mention of correct setup. Went online online to discover more info and found that PPPOE MTU should perhaps be 1492 not 1500. Also that VLAN should be enabled with VLAN ID 101 (default).
So I am hoping that this may be the solution for my dropouts. My new config is therefore:
VDSL - yes
PPPOE - fine
MTU - 1492
VLAN - enabled
VLAN ID - 101
Will this solve my problems... I'll let you know.
