| Removal of Throttling + modem & wireless set up question I wonder if the wise ones on the forum can help me out.
Background -
I am setup with an Asus modem (set up in bridge mode) connected to a microtik router (where SLPPP set up) which i've linked up to a TPLink wireless router.
My profile - 5/.80 through Bell line
Why the Microtik - long story short - it was the best option from TSI at the time (yes, i now know they use it for commercial customers - so overkill for residential customers - should have pushed for non-commercial but it was after almost 3 weeks of phone calls etc)
Things were working well since july last year till now.
problem -
3 days back, somehow (at TSI), login name got reset and i had to re-input login for Modem (which worked fine). However, since TSI set up the Microtik, i don't know the login & password and now can't use the microtik router*. Now, i can only connect directly to modem and do the login.
* the old password & username i have should work but it does not.
Questions -
a) Has Bell has stopped throttling speeds?
b) If i remove bridge mode from Asus modem & connect directly to TPLink wireless router = bypassing the microtik, i would still be able to do my downloads, net flix streaming without any issues? Is this correct?
c) any other suggestions are appreciated. |

kudos:2 | Bell is supposed to stop the throttle in March, I believe.
TPLink is a fine router by itself.
Have you talked to TSI about the Microtik? What'd they say? |

Mikrotik routers can be reset, but are not easy to set up if you don't have experience in Mikrotik OS. They might have a config file at the very least?

I've posted this on the direct forum and TSI have agreed to take back the microtik and provide me the LInksys wrt54gl wireless broadband router - standard one which you get when you order from TSI. |
