looks good to me, you seem to be on a 7330 which is better then garbage stinger.

Yeah, in that case if he wants to eliminate the SmartRG being an issue, a $60 Ebay Special (Huawei HG610) can be used.

Thank you for the suggestion, no need anymore I believe I have found the bug in the SmartRG route configuration.

I was witness to an occurrence of the access issue, I immediately pinged my Gateway on the identified appliance that had lost connectivity and was quite surprised to have no connectivity to my Gateway. The Gateway is my own and it is not the Bridged SmartRG.

I immediately though of an unauthorized network on my topology. I have added only one appliance lately: the SmartRG. It is configured with a route for the VDSL connection(Port LAN2) and LAN IP of 192.168.2.x(Port LAN3) to access the SmartRG browser configuration, stats, etc.... My topology is VLAN enabled for each one of the SmartRG routes.

Someone has hardcoded the Subnet routes 192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.3.0/24, etc.. when you create routes on the SmartRG. I am using the same subnet 192.168.2.0/24 for my LAN as the ones used for both routes on the SmartRG. What I think is happening is the appliance on my LAN Subnet is jumping on the SmartRG VDSL route and this will provide no information for the request. This could potentially create a backdoor access between both routes.

topology:

Bell / Teksavvy service <--> SmartRG (bridged) <--> External Layer 2 Switch <--> ESXI Switch <--> ESXI VM Gateway

The SmartRG should never create routes with the same Subnet and we should be able to choose the Subnets that will be created. How do I access the SmartRG route and firewall from a real console instead of the Browser, to see how all of this is configured on the SmartRG?

what exactly is happening tho? are you losing sync? one thing to keep in mind with the SmartRG is that port 1 is basically defective. if you're using a router to handle the PPPoE session, then make sure it's connected to one of the other ports.

I have no idea what is going on. I have been told by a few members of my family that they are randomly loosing connection too the internet. The strange part is I do not think it is the WAN side of the router, I am not seeing any loss of connection.
In regards to LAN1 port, did I ever learn that one the hard way, it took me 9 days to find that problem. Nope I do not use LAN1 port.

cognoquest posted : I think this SmartRG has something against me see: Running VDSL PPPoE protocol via L2 or L3 Switch. Anyways ignore my blabbing I need to get on to this new problem that I have:

I know Cable is shared with others and that is why it will vary depending on how many other people are connected and using their system; that is why I am attempting to move to VDSL to resolve these bandwidth up's and down's where the connection is entirely mine.

I also know one of the weaknesses of ADSL/VDSL is running on non shielded cat3 wiring not like coax for the Cable. These wires where just not made for what we are doing with them. So often in the ADSL/VDSL you run with Analogue issues. I have not done this in a long time can someone confirm my stats, I believe them to be really good but need confirmation of this? or even better is there a site that I can plugin numbers to confirm my stat numbers?
Do not pay attention to path 1 stats that is an interface for my tests with ADSL, previous woes that I had with the SmartRG (Note this problem may have nothing to to with the SmartRG)

Once I have done my above homework for the Analogue portion of the router I will move on to more tests. I know that when I run Cable I do have drops in speed but I do not believe I had those disconnects. Also when I ran ADSL I had low speeds but no disconnects then again both these scenarios are/where running with a different modem/router.
