The flow control was only if there was a flow negotiation issue with his next device, which we have seen even with MT devices. We use auto almost always now. Are there queues in use for his IP? His Public IP (on Ether1 on the Tik) we have whitelisted on our Azotel BW controller for testing purposes, allowing us to sustain BW tests without restriction. Of course the BTEST through the network and through the Internet appears like what I would expect. I changed my BTESTs to only 4 streams and got pretty much the same results as 20 streams. Is the btest you are seeing from the 951 what you expect? Yes Have you run or had him run btest from his pc to the 951? No, we have not tried that yet. Is the 951 an AP? It is acting as the home CPE, which includes being an AP bridge for LAN access via wireless. If so are results similar both wired and wireless? Pretty much. we usually have the customer(s) test from at least 2 wired computers, and of course there is some variation on results and once in a while a customer's PC will underperform. We establish a baseline with the fastest PC (test performance wise) available in the household. Was all the default config removed before setting it up for the customer? Yes, we always to the /system reset no-defaults=yes before we program a router. We HAVE been using Quickset for most CPE setups, and it has been a little flakey at times, so I wrote my own complete config script for the guys to use. I just wrote it last night. Its actually easier for the guys to use anyways. It uses a few variables at the top and then includes everything to make it fly for the customer. BYE BYE quick set. I have not defaulted these particular routers yet to see if another blowout and no quickset use would make a difference. I do know that Quickset is doing a few more things behind the scenes than we are aware of. Is it time to reset to defaults the 951 and reconfigure? I might do that. I have almost all the customers with the same issues. Even customers on a Cambium 450 AP tied right to a tower with fiber to the NOC and they all act the same way.
