I’m at a bit of a loss at what to try next.
I need a pretty much constant connection to my house (in order that something can be monitored). Due to problems with rain I have two circuits to my house one running at 40/10 and the other at 60/10, with the first deliberately restricted.
The rain problem (significant noise when the rain starts) has been much improved over winter where it tended to take down only one line, but now it’s taking down both lines every time the rain is
heavy. I’ve tried the obvious approach of just letting the speed reduce when this happens, the sync speed is low due to the noise on the line, but that’s had the unintended consequence of the 40/10 line being on retx high and the 60/10 line being on retx low…. And it made little difference to the stability, presumably as bitswap can’t act fast enough or the noise isn’t at its highest by the time a resync has taken place.
The frequency of the problem isn’t high enough for me to class it as a fault but it is pointless having both lines active as I’m gaining nothing from the second line. It’s also causing a few issues for my edgerouter which doesn’t seem to like both of the load balance group falling over at the same time.
Anyone know a good candidate for the second connection.
On an extra note I did write something to maintain the QoS at home and it allows you to see up to 5 modems together, I’ll bung it up when I get the chance. I was trying to figure out how to monitor noise(by predicting snr from the qln and HLog) and some more data would be useful. It’ll take most time listing the problems I’m aware of
– although I’m behind the Project Manager’s schedule for a new patio area so I may have to perform manual labour first.
