Since Saturday we've had a real problem with our westnet connection.
Boost (1.5Mb to 8Mb/384k - 7GB/10GB)
I have a macbook pro (2.6 Intel core 2 Duo), my husband macbook both
running Leopard (10.5.3), usually connect via Airport Express
wirelessly
The connection dropped out completely. After re-starting the modem a
number or times, and trying with direct connection, still no go, I
contacted Westnet.
Over the following days
Techie suggested modem (Alcatel Speedtouch Home) was probably no good
(though lights on etc) , so I borrowed my daughters (same model) ..
same result.
Bought Netcomm NB%Plus 4 W wireless modem router from Office works,
still no joy
More techies, played with settings eventually connected (sort of) with
PPOA.
Rang again, slow, dropping out, before even one web page loaded, or 1
email.
Tried unplugging all phones even though there's a proper adsl filter
on the line and filters on other phone points.
Can only connect intermittently, dropping out. when connecting there's
packet loss anything from 5 out of 9 eg
9 packets transmitted, 7 packets received, 22% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 20.0/21.4/30.0 ms
Can't connect at all with airport, now using wireless from netcom.
Anyone any ideas..please!!
Also it seems there might be a trick to connecting airport to this
modem ..anyone any ideas of settings?
