Okay an update on the PS4 issue.

Did a quick search and noticed 1 suggestion was changing the DNS. If I change DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1, download speed goes up to 80+ Mbps on PS4. If I don’t change DNS, highest speed is 50Mbps for some odd reason.
 
Super happy this side - all went back to normal. :thumbsup::):thumbsup::p

So this is on my 5 year old Asus DSL-AC52U, not the newer Xiaomi wifi6 router. I'll swap that one in tomorrow and see if my issues return.
 
Much better connection through out the night, none of my downloads stopped.

I'll plug in the Xiaomi router shortly and see if this changes back to connection drops.

Yup, seenms like Frogfoot issues, reverted back to my old router just to be sure.

Something interesting I noted, while the connection was stable with no drops on the old router, after plugging in the newer Xiaomi the route is only 8 hops. Is this because the Xiaomi's MAC is set to get a public IP and not a NAT'd one?

So when you get a natted IP you get a few more hops because you go through out nat box that does the nat translation.

Thanks for clarifying.

So far it's nearly 2 hours on the Xiaomi and looking very good. Only change is the LAN cable between the ONT and router, it was a very thin and flimsy one, so FFs advise seems to be spot on.
I have a few low speed non resume downloads that will take 6 more hours so that should be a indicator of how solid it is.

Hi,

Just a quick summary of events.

There are 2 x B numbers trying to auth on the account. Both B numbers are not managed by Afrihost and are not feasible to be migrated to Afrihost because they are active with another ISP.

To bypass this I have placed a new provide order. A new B number has been generated and Openserve will activate this B number on a 2nd port of the ONT. B510027014 to be activated.

Please have the ONT serial number handy for a remote activation. I have reset the CLID lock so you can use the current line until the new B number is activated.

Please send me a private message so I can reset the PPPoE details for you again and then it should work.

Yea, I’ve experienced similar in the past, well with the smart tv’s.. If I don’t use a 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 internet services work on the tv (experienced this with Samsung and LG tv’s).
