Have you checked the IPv4 connectivity - i.e to local and WAN addresses? What range is your WAN IPv4 in?

Yep, but you've raised you may not have IPv4 connectivity. You need to check more than if you have a local IPv4 address. Do you have a WAN IPv4? What range is it in?, Can you ping or traceroute to external IPv4 hosts?

For your TP-Link router browse to http://192.168.0.1/ log in and your Connection Type and Internet IP Address is shown under Network Map > Internet

 

 

 

 

Check you do have an IPv4 Internet IP Address which consists of 4 groups of numbers separated by dots.

 

To run a IPv4 traceroute search for 'cmd' under the Windows Start menu and use the command tracert -4 8.8.8.8 (for Google's Public DNS servers or the other DNS servers you tried and websites you can't access)

Networking isn't my strong suit, can you please provide more detail like how to find it, I know how to ping and tracert

Just checking you have turned off the ONT for 30 seconds since the switchover.

 

Sometimes this fixes issues

Yes ip address is 60.234.xxx.xxx cant ping 8.8.8.8 but can ping 1.1.1.1, Tracert on 8.8.8.8 times out after the 3rd hop to 72.14.195.229

So you've got IPv4 connectivity, but something odd going on with it. Similar to this perhaps?

That does sound pretty similar, with Ethernet upload is always faster than download, the most annoying issue is not being able to play certain games on my Xbox series x since shifting

I'm going to purchase another Ethernet cable to connect Xbox directly to the router to see if it makes a difference. It's also wierd that a vpn fixes it wouldn't that suggest it's a traffic routing issue on isp end ?

Are you on 60.234.115.x because it looks like some Australian ISP (AS9942) has hijacked it.

 

Definitely one for @Sounddude to check out

Sky need to take customers off that IP range until the routing issue is fixed.

 

Call and ask Sky to put you onto another IP address.

Hi, We just changed from Myrepublic to Sky and am having the exact same issue. I can only google if my vpn is running, if its not I can only go to sites I have been too before. We have been riping our hair out trying to config the Asus AC2900 to work. When I called Sky and asked them to reset the connection ( was thinking like a port reset) they said we can't help you at all because you re using a 3rd party router. I had to order the sky one as I work from hm so need this up and running ASAP. 

 

Do I just ask them to change the IP or pay for a static one?
