Hmm, so I guess when I create the VLANs in Guest Network Pro GUI it only adds the ports that are the components of the bond - eth1 & eth2 and doesn't create bond0.52 bond0.53 etc. I'll have to do some more research to see if I can create them manually. The 1Gig uplink from the switch to...

I'm using my GT-AX6000 on Merlin 3006.102.5 and recently thought I'd review my SSIDs and make use of VLANs, in particular for a "family" friendly SSID with cleanbrowsing DNS. I actually use TP-Link/Omada APs with a D-Link PoE switch that has some basic L2 management. (Mainly because I got them...

Obviously I can't read replies properly 😒, as you've just said IP lookups give San Diego, but maybe option 2.

Well I guess it is related to one of 2 things, lots of people want to give an IP a geolocation attribute, although it doesn't really have one, so there are a number of databases that try and guesstimate a location to an IP, like the Maxmind database. They'll do this based on aggregating a number...

You say it appears to be working on the router, so does the DDNS show your domain correctly just below your IP near the top of the home page? Does the DDNS config page say "registration successful" half way down and I assume you have let it get a valid let's encrypt certificate? And of course...

Proton have a good password generator too: https://proton.me/pass/password-generator The memorable word option is handier than the random ones. Longer length is better than complexity. I'd also check any computers for unknown/not installed by you remote access software, Anydesk, logmein...

You don't need VLAN setting for Plusnet FTTP, just the username as you mentioned and your account password, with PPPoE of course, on the WAN settings page. Some Plusnet pages still mention VLAN, but they haven't updated them since FTTC years ago.

You don't need to enter anything for VLAN on BT FTTC with an HG612. The same goes for using an ONT on a BT FTTP connection when it comes.

I would certainly try a hub and see what happens. I've got 3 SSDs hanging off a hub in the one USB 3 port on a GT-AX6000 just fine. It is a powered hub though.

Maybe you need to clear your browser cache/refresh after the various resets and firmware changes. Good luck with not tinkering! How long before you get itchy feet?

There's nothing showing on their news page, https://freedns.afraid.org/news/ maybe reach out to Joshua on the contact link, he's pretty approachable.

That's assuming its not a combined PLA with WiFi, so may not be possible to temporarily use an ethernet cable - but is the first step I'd try. It does sound like an old problem I had way back around 4 years ago on 384.something - same thing in the logs the clients didn't do the request after an...

If you want a fairly long technical read as to how the DV product works try this thread on Thinkbroadband. Someone did manage to achieve running the SH2 on the LAN side of their Asus router plus a Raspberry Pi to do a bit of PPPoE trickery. The link is to the post where that bit is explained...

Whether you need PPPoE is determined by the ISP you subscribe to, the ONT is effectively transparent. If you use BT as the ISP then you will need to set the WAN connection type in the basic section at the top to PPPoE. Other ISPs may not need it, such as TalkTalk FTTP over the openreach...

Your router is not replying to pings, hence the solid red which is 100% packet loss. You may need to find the "reply to pings" setting on your router and turn it on.
