WAN Connection
•
Problem:
What can I do if I suspect a problem on my Internet/WAN connection?
•
Solution:
You can test the WAN connection using
Ping
.
As we want to isolate the problems from the LAN,
Ping
will be performed from the BD1000. By using the
Ping/Traceroute
tests in the
Status
tab on the Web Admin Interface, you may be able to find out the
source of problem.
File Upload/Transfer
•
Problem:
When I upload files to a server via ftp, the transfer stalls after a few kilobytes of data are sent.
What should I do?
•
Solution:
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) or MSS setting may need to be adjusted.
By default, the MTU is set at 1440. Choose mtu for all of your WAN connections. If it does not solve the
problem, you may try the MTU 1492 if a connection is a DSL. If problem still persists, change the size to
smaller values until your problem is resolved (e.g. 1462, 1440, 1420, 1400, etc).
