M1 FIBRE BROADBAND DISCUSSION - Part 2

Stable here, perhaps there's a problem with your line or equipment?

usually when it rains in jurong west, it is like that =/
im hoping its not my lyra trio

 

[Hotpants]

yeah having issue here with WoW as well. latency looks good but its super laggy for me

Rain shouldn't make any difference... Something is faulty, although i can't think what piece of equipment might be affected by rain unless you've got a leak and suffering water ingress somewhere...

wonder what is their typical speed range during peak hours

So...... I'm joining you here in the thread after being around a couple of months since yesterday I signed a 24-months contract for new 1GB line, 2-months free, free registration, installation and RT-AX55, switching from WhizComms to hopefully get better international routing for my TV.

Gear gets delivered on Friday, with installation next Thursday.

Hope to implement everything correctly, inc. IPv6 etc. and hope uptime is consistent as I never had downtime with WC.

Hi guys would like to seek your advice. If I were to get the 1gbps plan that comes with the free Asus ax55 router, can this ax55 router act as a mesh node while I get either RT-AX82U/86U/88U to be the main router?

Should I use the better router as the fibre point/main router, does it make a difference?

P/S: what is the wireless backhaul that you guys are mentioning?

Ans : Yes

Ans : The main router should always be the better router.

P/S: what is the wireless backhaul that you guys are mentioning?

Ans : Backhaul is a technical term for "backbone" used in telecommunication. Wireless backhaul simply means the backbone of your network is made of direct wireless connections between the nodes of the mesh system.

So can I say that as long as I get Asus routers that are compatible with the AiMesh WiFi system, I will create a wireless backhaul?

 

[uncle_josh]

yes, thats of course

the wireless backhaul runs on the 3rd band for triband devices
dual band, i dunno how the backhaul works if you utilise both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz band..... maybe no backhaul
so far based on what i have read in here and other threads

so its not ANY Asus routers

if i am not wrong

It works on quite a number of routers. The only difference is if there will be a dedicated wireless backhaul (for triband only). If one turn on Smart Connect, there wont be any dedicated backhaul too.

Ans : this is known as dedicated wireless backhaul where no clients can access. However wireless backhaul is not limited to tri band, it can run on dual band routers. Just that there will be some performance impact.

Ans : the key word is compatible aimesh routers.

I agree on the that there is a range but hearing the committed is so low at 200Mbps really disappointed.

Recently bought TP link AX20 router, i am with M1. I am trying to configure IPv6, Can someone help to share the IPV6 settings?

In the router options,

I see the IPv6 internet connec. types as

static IP
Dynamic IP(SLAAC/DHCPV6)
PPPoE
6to4
pass thru

Get IPV6 address options
Auto
SLAAC
DHCPV6
non-address

prefix delegation options
enable
disable


I checked with M1 CC, they advised me not to enable IPV6. Does it mean M1 does not support native IPv6?

Thanks

M1 don't seem to train their customer support agents properly for IPv6, but they do fully support it at the network level.

You should set it to Dynamic IP(SLAAC/DHCPV6), and with prefix delegation turned on.

Thanks a lot for the reply,

Weekly scheduled router reboot seems to disable the IPV6 configuration. Not sure why is this behavior.


Also, May i what should be the configuration settings for IPV6 LAN

Options available are DHCPV6, SLAAC+Stateless DHCP, SLAAC+RDNSS


Thanks

why a scheduled reboot? a router should be able to remain stable for months or years on end...

slaac+stateless or slaac+rdnss, it depends on your clients - everything supports slaac, not everything (eg android) supports dhcpv6.

Is it working correctly? are you getting addresses assigned to the router and your devices?
