    Advice Needed

    My ISP confirmed they have RA suppressed on their BNG, but they will lease with their BNG provider about enabling it on a per user basis, and TP Link are going to see if they can make a new Firmware. I gotta say the support I've had from TP Link and my ISP over this issue has been astounding...

    I remember IPV6 being a bit of a nightmare on BT back in the day. But it seemed to be their Home Hubs I think? TP Link said my new ISP doesn't send out RA IPV6 packets periodically which is causing the issue. I am split on weather to keep the TP Link, I mean I was very impressed with the way...

    Advice Needed

    Well TP Link did a remote access session, and give them their due they spent a good 2 and a half hours capturing packets, running commands and scripts, they identified the problem, basically my ISP has a weird IPV6 configuration lol, but they will make firmware to,support it but they will take a...

    Nope never considered Cisco. May take a look, but I have used Ubiquiti before. I'll take a look but aren't Cisco expensive?

    Advice Needed

    Still, cannot complain about that speed! My ONT has a 10GB port, optimistic lol, although providers here in the UK are offering faster speeds, I think one or two offers 5 or 10GB possibly? It is extremely limited in its catchment area and of course costs a fortune to have. The fastest the main...

    iPad Pro M2 on TP Link BE65 WiFi 6E on my 1GB fibre connection. And it does that all day long.

    Advice Needed

    I can. I can get just over 1GB on my WiFi 6E devices. But I don't live in Canada is it? So yes it does. In fact I was advised they set the speeds just above 1GB.

    Advice Needed

    Yes, but the 2,5GB port allows for overheads and gives you that full gigabit speed.

    Advice Needed

    Thanks for that but I think I would rather go the Ubiquiti or Mikrotik route, may give that Ubiquiti router a go if I need to as it's reasonably priced, can always send it back, and at least it has a 2.5GB WAN port. I note what you say about the processor in the Mikrotik, I think it's been out...

    Advice Needed

    Main issue with the ISP router is it only has gigabit ports, so it doesn’t get that overhead allowed, for instance with the TP Link it has all 2.5GB ports, and with its 6GHZ radio my WiFi 6E devices can hit just over a gigabit. May be silly but still. I am going to give TP Link a chance to...

    Advice Needed

    I have used IPV6 on ISP's for years now. I live in the UK and it has been available since 2016. So forgive me when I don't accept the don't use it advice. Consumer equipment I've had support it previously include Eero, Asus, Amplifi, internet provider supplied routers, even the OG Google WiFi...

    Advice Needed

    Xbox is built to take advantage of IPV6 That was from 10 years ago, I was using IPV6 on my Xbox One S. it removes NAT and gives a slight performance boost. Yes of course it works fine in IPV4 I understand that, but IPV6 works better. You may not see any benefits doesn't mean others don't. Also...

    Advice Needed

    Sure, but how is that answering my questions. I know I stated any advice appreciated, but I didn’t expect a rundown on how the router industry works. Just some advice on what equipment to use. Is that too difficult to ask?

    Advice Needed

    Thanks for the advice but I’ll stick to my plan to use IPV6, also TP Link Omada seem to be supported well. But I won’t be using their Deco now anyway. Do you have any further advice other then I shouldn’t use IPV6 as that’s not really helpful to me.
  15. M

    Advice Needed

    Because it's 2024 and in the UK ISP's have supported IPV6 for several years now, and so I'd like to use it. Plus some gaming services benefit such as any Xbox service as they are built to use IPV6. I don't see why a router in this year shouldn't be able to support IPV6 especially over DHCP.

    Advice Needed

    Hi, I’m after some advice. I very recently got gigabit fibre installed, I am with Squirrel Internet in the UK, very good support from them. I have been through loads of router and WiFi systems over the years. With my gigabit fibre I thought I’d try WiFi 7, so I got a TP Link Deco BE65 system...
