I was under pressure from needing to open tomorrow, so I had to redeploy already and can't run that test unless it goes down. Sorry!

Just chiming in with another case of the same. AC68U router, AC66U_B1 node, worked fine through several dirty upgrades. Had to reset everything here because of an issue with my ISP (long story) and when I went to add the node into the mesh again, no dice. I'm glad the thread was here - saved me...

Thanks for the help. Turns out it was something screwy at my ISP (a small municipal broadband company). When I gave them my findings about MTU, they immediately recognized it as their problem and fixed whatever they had changed. Everything works fine again with the normal MTU of 1500. So the...

You may be onto something. When I gave my ISP (a small municipal broadband company) my findings about MTU, they admitted the problem was on their end and reversed whatever they had changed. So perhaps they were testing ipv6 in preparation for a future rollout or something. I'll ask them about...

That's just it, my provider provided no such information and it worked for years without any adjustment to MTU. A week ago, something changed and it stopped working correctly. So I did ping tests, as you suggest, and determined the 1492 number experimentally, only to later find that was the...
