First I want to say thank you for this great forum to come to, I am somewhat new to problems with my router, but have been learning fast!
I have read over other posts about this issue, and have learned lurking here in many other areas as well, much thanks!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
So have always loved my WBR-2310, have had two of them, I know they get hard knocks from some folks, but my experience has been good, the only reason I have a 2nd one now is my first one burned up in my housefire.
I recently moved from Frontier DSL: (krappy krappy krappy) to Wireless Microwave connection which has been great.
They had me on DHCP and I use FFox as my primary browser, and things were zooming along. THEN they changed me to PPPoe, so I have been searching about 8 hours on the web taking ping tests,etc.etc. to target my perfect MTU. Constant time-outs, more especially secure https sites, the bank, my work for the State I live in, etc. Constant-constant reloads even on regular non https pages too.
I wrote three people at DLink and they said the default 1492 is just fine and keep it like that. I have calculated my MTU at four diff.websites and it is where it is: 1492. I have tweaked FFox with no change in timeouts. I have made my FFox profile not read-only, which was supposed to help
Additionally the speed of loading pages on PPPoe is about where I was with Frontier, besides timing out, the pages sometimes seem premature in that timeout, doing it sooner than before.
Me thinks it is the MTU and PPPoe settings????? My connection should be roaring, as I have direct LOS to the new wireless tower in my region.
WHEW!....need coffee HAHA)
Hoping to make this simple and not render no connection at all.
Thanks so much!
***PS
I also have upgraded to the 1.05 firmware with no change, as well.
