VMG1312-B10A: Bugs: Difference between revisions

When PPP is down (iei.e. no internet connection) the router will answer DNS queries and answer with it'sits own IP. This means that the user will be taken to the ZyXELs own web interface when trying to access a website when the internet connection is down, this applies for http and https traffic. This is not a configurable option.

If the router looses its internet connection (ege.g. drops sync, drops ppp) then it will intercept web page requests and will forward them to itself. This is meant to be 'helpful' in that the router will then have a page telling the user that internet is down etc. However, as it also intercepts https traffic this will cause certificate warnings in the browser which will alarm and the user and is much less useful.

Static routes can be added via the [[VMG1312:_Static_Routes Static Routes|CLI]]. Alternatively you can use the ZyXEL as a bridge and perform PPPoE on your internal router/firewall device.

We are seeing some lines, when in router mode (iei.e. plugged in to the phone line and used as the router) drop PPP and do not re-establish PPP for 15-2015–20 minutes. This is very odd. AAISP are investigating this as a priority. A work around is to use a separate DSL modem and configure the ZyXEL as a PPPoE router. This is not ideal, do talk to staff about this.

When using the router's own wifi, viewing the web pages (http) is very slow. ege.g., 20 seconds to load the Wireless settings page. Switching to Wired the pages load as expected. Whilst the web UI is slow, telnet CLI and normal internet access is fine.

The QoS and traffic limiting features have the potential to be quite useful. However, the default QoS settings have problems if there is a large rsync (over ssh) upload in progress in that DNS queries time out. We have some QoS notes on [[ZyXEL_VMG1312ZyXEL VMG1312-QoS]].
