Afternoon all,

Not been on here for years but now I can catchup but in the mean time I need some help.

I have Youfibre 8Gbps installed and Im currently using their Pro router, this works well but I cant open ports up with it so I purchased a 2nd hand Asus AXE16000 router.

I configured the routers settings with my fixed IP address,gateway etc and the main page says connected to the internet but all my PCs and wifi devices says no internet connection?

Ibe reset the router, called Asus and Youfibre will not support 3rd party devices so........ any ideas?

Im stuck or could the router be bricked hence why the seller sold it on fleabay!

Thanks all.

Even though you have a fixed ip from YouFibre you don’t set it as that so you need to change it to dhcp and YouFibre lock by MAC so you need to contact their support and ask them to reset the MAC for it to actually work.
You will see internet as your router has an ip and it can likely reach the gateway but ACL will be stopping anything else.

I didn't know their 'static' IP allocation was via DHCP reservation. I'm on a special package and have to input my IP details manually. Regarding the MAC though, that should certainly only be tied to the DHCP reservation state. Restarting the ONT should clear it, or worst case waiting an hour.
 
If it needs the router MAC then just change the MAC on the new router to match the old one, it should be able to spoof it even with factory ASUS firmware.
 
Ive sorted the issue and it was MAC related, Im now running on the Asus router but.....

I have two PC's.

No1 pc is my main PC that has the same network 10Gbps card as the 2nd PC both the same driver but PC no1 runs at full speed 8.2Gbps but the 2nd PC only downloads at 1.2Gbps.

I have swapped the network cables and that runs fine, same NIC and drivers but the 2nd PC I cannot get it to run as the 1st pc speed wise, WHY?

So....

Router------> Using 10Gbps port to 10Gbps switch-----> PC1 10Gbps NIC speed 8.2Gbps............... PC2 10Gbps NIC speed 1.2Gbps.

Why?
