Title: Bug-ridden modems with hardware accelerator / packet cache bug again
Post by: Weaver on July 12, 2018, 11:47:03 PM: See article by RevK of AA (https://www.revk.uk/2018/07/very-frustrating-modem-bug.html) about unreliable modems. A bit short on details, but there is a link to an older article too, at the start.

I would talk to AA about the modem issue and ask them what they know.

Yeah but what I meant was whether the DrayTek's have a similar bug too as they are in bridge mode, I wasn't blaming the FireBrick, but nevermind.
