Re: [Wireless] WRT54G v5 - hard to access T-Mobile Could be. Curiously enough, I just tried the Firefox browser, and it won't download the T-mobile website from behind the router either, although it will if I don't use the router. Neither Firefox nor IE give me an error message, they just sit there like they are trying to download the page. In the lower left corner of IE is the message "opening page »www.t-mobile.com/...",and when I finally hit the X-button to stop the browser, the message changes to "opening page »www.t-mobile.com/masthead/css/ma···.css..." and this page will only stop trying to load if I go to a different website or close the browser.
The fact that both IE and Firefox will work without the router, but neither will with the router, makes me think the problem is in the router, not the browser. Anyway, its the first time for me that the AOL browser has ever been better at anything than both IE and Firefox!
Thanks,

| You might have some web sites blocked in the router (Access Restrictions tab). Some people block DoubleClick and similar web sites to suppress ads. This creates problems once in a while.
It is possible that AOL browser is better for you because it does not implement some standard so it does not get "offending" code. If you look at t-mobile site JavaScript code you would see a lot of browser conditional code (for IE, Netscape and so on).

This really sounds like an MTU issue. Run the tweaktest tool here and post the results. |
|
| OK. I ran it twice, once with the router and once without:
with the router:
»/tweakr/···terpppoe
without the router:
»/tweakr/···nXPpppoe
(Using DSL @ 768; WinXP & PPPoE) |

1 edit | According to what you have posted, your MTU is 1492 with the router and 1400 without it. Configure your router for Manual MTU and set it at 1400 (here »192.168.1.1/ )and see what happens.
Also, there is a huge difference in your RWIN between the two, but deal with the MTU first. |

| OK here's what happens. When I change the router's MTU to 1400, IE still doesn't download the page. But now Firefox sometimes does and sometimes doesn't and sometimes only loads half the page. Again, though, as soon as I remove the router and connect the computer directly to the DSL modem, both browsers immediately work just fine on the page.
Just out of curiosity, i hooked the router back up and changed the MTU back to 1492, and now Firefox seems to download the almost the whole page just fine (it hangs with the hourglass after the page seems to have loaded, as though it is waiting for some last image or something; if I click on a link on the page, the next page only seems to load half-way.). IE though still won't work. It makes me wonder if there is something interaction between the router and java?
The RWIN difference is because I ran the Tweak test yesterday after the first response to my posting, and RWIN came out at 65535 and the Tweak test told me to use DRTCP to set it into a range of 7260 to 20328. So I did and set it to 20,000. Evidently that set the Router's RWIN to 20000. (I don't know much about RWIN - will the router and computer each have a setting for this, or is it set up with the PPPoE process? If both have one, do they have to be in sync somehow?)
Thanks

| I also just purchased a v5 and was unable to get to www.mbtrading.com. Tried changing MTU to no avail. Was lucky enough in returning the unit and found a V4 still on the shelf. Exchanged it and don't have the problem anymore. |
