Well Andrew, the single thread congestion sorted with a move to AA. A little happier now. zyXel router would not run at all. full of errors and wrecked IPv6 at first re-sync. TP-Link TD-W9980 rock solid at 77.7Mbps but no access to IPv6 sites despite set up to do so. So today, after an hour or two messing with the fritzbox 7390 and losing a lot of speed due to disconnections here, I now have a box that runs IPv6, so a happy bunny, especially as I can see AA still working away to sort my line.

Update - Oh well, it's back to the TP-Link and stuff the stress and expense of trying to find a router that does IPv6 longer than five minutes before falling over. I see a post from someone with the same trouble on BT today. We as users cannot be expected to keep forking out trying to find one that works!

Back to the TP-Link.

Dropped packets with the Fritzbox all afternoon even when it was working, before expiring around 8:00 pm.

The Fritz!Box doesn't reply to ICMP Pings consistently - especially with both AAISP and TBB monitors running simultaneously. Best to look at the AAISP LCP Echo graphs.

Identical.

Giving the Fritzbox one more try, as suffering some dropped packets today even on the TP-Link. Could not get into it with a browser and no factory reset button. Research turned up that it was probably in wireless access mode, which could have been me while fiddling to get it running and would explain it dying as a router. Managed to break in and reset. Up and running again on IPv6 and no dropped packets so far. Regarding dropped packets, I should state that AAISP are still working this line despite the single thread congestion being fixed, also an A55 against it. Pleased with the amount of AA input showing on my control page - Not so pleases about router IPv6 compatibility. Not so sure about managing on what is now a 150Gb allowance. Over 7 Gb done in a day and a half with no video streaming at all - Just a bit of Skype. We have a nag running tonight, so will see what streaming and upload does to my usage - 4K still seems out of the question.

I guess the 1TB limit would be better for you. I don't like the idea of caps and was glad when unlimited 0800 came out all those years ago.

1TB is silly money and would be killed by 4K streaming, which is what I wanted fibre for. But in the meantime, the Fritzbox has slowed to a standstill after half a day once again. It was the only thing that would run AAISP IPv6, but at 50Mbps instead of 75Mbps. I have had enough of my whole life sat here trying to get broadband to work properly. So I have put the supplied zyXel back in the saddle once again. It will not hold connection or IPv6 despite coming configured by AA. This my be a faulty router regarding connection, but the IPv6 is a deeper problem, but at least they can access the zyXel to try and sort along with my line. half a dozen routers here that won't run this line properly is time to stop buying.

As I've just PM'ed, so this is for others reading the thread, so far as I can see I have just cracked the ZyXel 1312 for dualstack IPv6/IPv4, despite having been told it has a ZyXel bug and there was nothing to be done.

I have had it running (though obviously unused for a few hours) since something like 1:45 this morning. See the two BQMs in my sig.

As supplied it was set up to go with my HG612, but for this exercise I have set it to full modem/router mode. I will need to speak to AA about that, and their master configuration.

I'm convinced your ZyXel is either faulty or your dodgy line is killing everything. Or both!

Yes Bob, your beavering away well ahead of mine and different model. As I said in the PM , I suspected the modem, but as AAISP IPv6 seems broken and wrecks all routers, I have just switched to IPv4 only as you suggested, so time will tell. Intrigued by your statement that router config is set up to be behind a BT modem, which as you know was going to be my next shot before the IPv4 suggestion. Stable at the moment, but can be for hours then it hits brainstorm mode, as you can see in the link. Either way, I have put a note on the AA control page to keep them updated.

Different model? I have VMG1312-B10A?

Your BQM link is dead. See my two. First break was deliberate for some reason. Tonight's were a failed experiment so back to config as of Saturday 1:45am.

However from reports it might fall over in 2-3 days. But also from reports a reboot kills it. I have done several plus a complete switch-off and it sails on.
