Updated my RBR50 yesterday to V2.7.4.24 and ran into major issues.

PPPoE no longer working

Could not make any changes to PPPoE settings.

Ended up erasing RBR50 both through web interface (did not work), hard reset button.

Managed to get PPPoE back running but there is still on issue.

The moment I turn on traffic meter I loose PPPoE.

Disable traffic meter, PPPoE comes back after a few minutes.

 

previous version V2.7.3.22 did not have this problem, downgrading to V2.7.3.22.

Hi lvangent ,

Did you enable this function ' Disconnect and disable the internet connection ' in traffic meter ?

    Hi,

    thanks for the suggestion but

    No I did not select this as I have unlimited internet quota. I just want to keep track of how much data is download/upload as we have a lot of streaming happening, remote school and working from home. 

    cheers

      RBR50 + 2 RBS50 sats FW V2.7.3.22 

       

      Issuse is that my WIFI network device list contains improper IP address when viewed from the Attached Devices page on the RBR50 web interface.

      Network is 10.0.0.x but find duplicate provisioned addresses: ex 192.168.168.100 is there 7 times indicated that is was provided by the RBR50 mostly but also from either of the RBS50's

       

      This condition results in the WIFI network not working at all.  

       

      I spent several hours resetting the RBR50 and two RBS50's  to factory defaults and then doing a total reinstall and now after less than a day the system has the same duplicate IPs  just like it was prior to the reinstall with the above duplicate IPs and non functioning wireless internet.

       

      I will try the new firmware V2.7.3.24 but after looking at the update description feel that this will just be another 5 hours of waisted time.

        What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

         

        Please post a screen shot of what your seeing.

        What devices do you have connected? 

         

        Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
