MR 6500 ethernet
New MR6500 from AT&T. Wireless works OK but we also have an ethernet only device that we need to use. The ethernet connection has been VERY erratic. It will operate sometimes at less than 6Mbps while...
What firmware version are you on?
Any updates available?
I've got the MR6110 but not the MR6500.
Maybe JohnPeng knows a bit more about this.
Please help to capture a model.json file and send PM to me.
- Logon to the webui (http://192.168.1.1 ) as an administrator
- Navigate to URL http://192.168.1.1/model.json via the same browser window
- Capture the results (by selecting all + copy) and send it back
Thanks

John, Tried to send the screen copy and got error too many characters. You may not need it. I solved my original problem by changing port setting to 2.5G and setting MR6500 display to always on. Now it has not lost internet for 4 days. Only problem now is the ethernet port is connected to an ePMP Force 180 Bridge, sending the network to an adjacent building and Internet speed in that building is slow(less than 5Mbps) most of the time. Bridge and second building setup worked much better using our previous DSL connection( in the first building) rather than the MR6500. I'm still looking to see if I can change a MR6500 setting and improve the speed. Any hints where to look? Thanks!
So the speeds in building 1 are fine but not building 2?
What else is connected then?
you're going MR6500---> to what ---->to epmp point to point system
I think the first thing you can look at is what speed you can get from the ethernet port of MR6500.
What was the speed of your DSL subscription? Also I noticed that ePMP Force 180 is powered by PoE. I am not sure whether Mr6500 can provide the enough power to the Bridge in order to maintain a ideal speed.
Thanks
