VMG1312-B10A as wireless access point

<< < (2/2)

aesmith:
If you think about its neither IPv6 or even IPv4 is actually needed for the wireless AP function.   So I guess when IPv6 was enabled there was some conflict, maybe it was advertising a different prefix in it's announcements or something. 

jelv:
Thanks - that's pretty much the conclusion I came to as being the only explanation.

Weaver:
I need to re-read the AA article on the bugs, but as I recall some were pretty low-level and nasty.

Some routers (modems?) have had bugs where they have used a piece of hardware called something like ‘an accelerator’ which speeds up processing of traffic but spies on certain protocol types or something and has problems relating to state iirc. Caching information in the hardware, and then the software gets confused with it or out of step. I forget. Can’t remember if this model of chipset was one affected.
