Hi there,

 

 

 

Since last week, my fiber connection has been very shabby so i decided to run a speed test and the result was : D:900Mbps U:0.04 Mbps ! 

 

I was at Myrepublic before the merge so I kept the TPlink VR1600 provided at that time.

 

Then I contacted 2degrees and things, they told me to use those settings ( see below) but if I enable VLAN (10) It gets worst, no more internet.... To be sure it was not a faulty router, I ve bought  a brand new ASUS RT-AX3000 but the result is quite similar (maybe worst cause internet seems even more unstable) and no internet with vlan enable....

 

Any ideas to bring my Upload back and setup correctly the asus for 2degrees??? Thanks team

 

 

 

WAN Connection Type: DHCP (Automatic IP/Dynamic IP/IP over Ethernet) **

 

802.1Q: Enabled

 

VLAN ID (802.1Q): 10

 

802.1P (Priority): 0

 

IP Version: IPv4 or IPv6

 

MTU Size: 1492 or 1500

 

NAT: Enabled

How are you testing? Phone, laptop? Wireless or Ethernet cable? 

 

Are there other devices that could be using the network - torrents?

Connections migrated from MyRepublic do not have vlan tag set.

Thanks for your reply, so i should just ignore the VLAN thing ? what about the other settings recommended by 2D, should i still try to set my wan in DHCP or in this case PPOE ?

You should be using DHCP with no vlan tag set.

Great, thanks... It s my current settings, cause otherwise i don t get internet trough ( red light on my ASUS) but then, any idea why my upload speed is close to 0 and also the internet light on the ASUS is blinking all the time, it should be constant isn it ?
