Update. Mick and I have beat this poor router until it is badly |
| 20 |
bruised. I think we tried about every option the router has. I hate |
| 21 |
calling the AT&T service number. I usually have to go up a couple tiers |
| 22 |
before I get someone who knows answers since I use Linux here. Windoze, |
| 23 |
mac, they can help a bit. Linux, not the low level folks. Well, it |
| 24 |
finally hit me, I had the cell number of a tech from several years ago. |
| 25 |
He mostly works on phone service but he knows a bit about the DSL part |
| 26 |
as well. He got promoted I think a while back. I texted him and found |
| 27 |
out something I wish I had known before. The DSL box that sits up the |
| 28 |
road does not support IPv6. That explains why nothing worked. So, |
| 29 |
after beating on that thing, I end up with nothing but IPv4 like I had |
| 30 |
before. |

Well, there is one improvement. I do have a very nice wireless router. |
| 33 |
That thing has AWESOME wireless range when using those long 9db |
| 34 |
antennas. They over a foot long but I can connect with my cell phone |
| 35 |
300 feet down the road. ROFL Even going to the mailbox isn't a issue |
| 36 |
now. Old router, barely made it out the door and off the porch. |

Thanks to all, especially Mick, who helped with this thing. Maybe one |
| 39 |
day, just maybe. |
