The problem was solved by an experimental firmware update from the SFP vendor. ... View more

Unfortunately TPG support simply refused to do anything on the grounds that the service works fine with the provided TP-LINK modem  ... View more

I was able to extract the physical layer data from the SFP, and apparently it syncs at ADSL/ADSL2 rates. Perhaps forcing VDSL2 on the TPG side would help? ... View more

Unfortunately there is no way to monitor the DSL sync rate or even state from the router side, the Proscend sfp always reports link up, but there is a green LED, which indicates that the DSL link is established. Packet captures on the router reveal the expected dot1q-tagged PADI frames being sent to the sfp interface, but no response of any kind. ... View more

I'm having a similar issue with Mikrotik hAP ac. The Proscend's green LED lights up, but rx counters are zero and nothing works (obviously). PPPoE client over VLAN 2 is configured. The same PPPoE client configuration works just fine over the provided TP-LINK router configured as a bridge (which I want to get rid of). ... View more

Yes, of course I have. Again, this is not poor signal, this is complete and unrecoverable loss of 5G connectivity. ... View more

Same here. All 5G devices lose connectivity and don't recover until the router is rebooted. Definitely looks like a problem with the TPLink modem, not wifi coverage/interference. Connected devices stay "connected", but are unable to exchange any traffic, new devices are unable to connect. Sometimes happens multiple times a day, very annoying.  ... View more
