Sky BB Ireland with Asus RT-AX86U

BrianLimerick — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 23:05:05 GMT

I have been using Sky BB with Asus RT-AX86U perfectly well for the past few months. Using

Yesterday, it started having problems. No config changes have been made on the router. Have done the usual full restart and double-checked all network cables.

The network connection stays up for a few seconds, the I get "connection hang up" on the system log.

This is info from the router system log

May 5 06:08:15 pppd[1757]: Connected to 00:00:5e:00:01:73 via interface vlan10 May 5 06:08:15 pppd[1757]: Connect: ppp0 <--> vlan10 May 5 06:08:15 pppd[1757]: CHAP authentication succeeded May 5 06:08:15 pppd[1757]: peer from calling number 00:00:5E:00:01:73 authorized May 5 06:08:15 pppd[1757]: local IP address 51.199.107.210 May 5 06:08:15 pppd[1757]: remote IP address 2.127.238.243 May 5 06:08:15 wan: finish adding multi routes May 5 06:08:16 miniupnpd[3092]: shutting down MiniUPnPd May 5 06:08:16 miniupnpd: it is advised to use network interface name instead of 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 May 5 06:08:16 miniupnpd[3282]: HTTP listening on port 40998 May 5 06:08:16 miniupnpd[3282]: Listening for NAT-PMP/PCP traffic on port 5351 May 5 06:08:16 rc_service: ip-up 3234:notify_rc stop_samba May 5 06:08:16 Samba Server: smb daemon is stopped May 5 06:08:17 rc_service: ip-up 3234:notify_rc start_samba May 5 06:08:18 pppd[1757]: Connection terminated. May 5 06:08:18 pppd[1757]: Modem hangup

and it loops around and around like this. A new local IP is assigned, increasing the 4th octet by 1 each time

I rechecked all the settings

- WAN Connection type: PPPoE

- Username: anything@skydsl

- Password: anything

- MTU: 1492

- VLAN ID 10

Also upgraded the router firmware (now it's 3.0.0.4.388_24243-g3b611ea)

Anyone else using a Asus router seeing this?

I have reverted to the old sky hub and everything seems to be working as expected

It seems the "Extend the TTL value" is required to be set to "Yes"

I also started experiencing these exact symptomps this morning with my ZenWiFi XT9.

Setting "Extend the TTL value" to Yes did NOT work for me.

What worked was setting "Enable VPN + DHCP Connection" to No. This fixed the connection issue.

I confirmed this was the issue by setting "Enable VPN + DHCP Connection" back to Yes afterwards, and the connection issues came back...no idea why all of a sudden this is an issue.
