Hi,
Have just had Vodafone 80/20 FTTC installed at work, engineer did the business with the Openreach modem and told me that we are syncing at higher speeds than was anticipating (basically the full 80/20). Our provider kindly forgot
mad
to supply me with the 4-port WiFi router that we were supposed to use, so I've had to temporarily repurpose a 887VA I had earmarked for something else.
I have since plugged the VDSL line into it which I thought I had configured properly, and although it all syncs up correctly the download speed is woeful. It makes me think something obvious is wrong - like MTU, etc. I did try changing the MTU to 1492 and "ip tcp adjust-mss 1452" on the Vlan after a Google search but it made no difference.
Speedtest (on any server) is showing around ~10Mb/sec down, and ~20Mb/sec up. Curiously the upload seems to be fine?
The CRC & header errors, whilst small, seem like they might be related to the problem but to be honest I haven't previously configured xDSL from scratch on these.
This is the pertinent interface config:
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
