With my spare T2 connected directly to my router’s port 2 via a 2m long CAT5e cable I just checked the LED status on the router’s Diagnostics Network page. The T2 having only a 10/100 Ethernet LAN shows an orange & a green LED & states 100Mbps. The U4 has a 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN so it wou...

I tried the short cable and alas still 10 Mb/s. I would have lost money betting on that. :o Just in case. If easy enough to do, try that new cable between your router & your PC to see what the router indicates for that connection. One thing I have noticed since last post the LEDs on modem, on t...

Certain medical conditions can make things more difficult & slower than can be expected.

... Since you tried multiple cables and got the same results, that leaves the Beyonwiz as the most likely culprit. It's possible that the Ethernet connector, the solder joints or the PCB have been damaged. You mentioned that the old cable had a broken clip. Was that because the cable has been rippe...

Take 2 That worked. Did you click on refresh data at the Diagnostics opening page before taking that screen shot, or is there another device connected to the router's Ethernet LAN ports (1 to 4) apart from the U4 & the PC? Comparing that Diagnostics Network page with mine, I think it is showing...

Your T3 should have an external power supply.

But still good advice about power supplies.

I think we can safely rule out the U4 end now ... Yes, the U4 & V2 anyway. Just to clarify. I assume your “Modem/hub/switch” is a modem/router that was supplied by iinet & there isn’t another switch involved. In other words the new 20m Ethernet cable plugs directly into the modem/router’s E...

At the mode/switch end is where the broken clip was. we tried the new cable in in a couple of the ports other than the one it was plugged into. In my mind that rules out switch end. Do you concur? Yes & no. Even with the cable in a different port I don’t know what would happen if a couple of pi...

... My best guess is that the connection from the BW needed to re-seated, and it was just co-incidence that this happened when the new software came along.

Let’s hope it was a co-incidence. If it plays up again, some info in this article may help.

It sounds like the HDMI setting for the HDMI input the U4 is connected to may have changed to the default setting with the Sony firmware update. I remember when I first set up our Sony TV, I had to change the HDMI input setting to get audio from my U4. This also happened when we were on holidays &am...

... its estimate of where the fault was was way out – the distance said that it was a far-end fault, but it was actually a near-end fault.

... That can happen when one of the four pairs of signal lines used for Gigabit Ethernet fails somewhere in the cable connection. 100Mb/s only uses 2 of the 4 pairs in the cable, but 1000 Mb/s uses all 4. If, for some reason one pair is not available, the connection can fall back to 100Mb/s. ... I’...

The attached Ethernet cable types pdf document may help you identify your Ethernet patch leads.

Depending on the type of plugs fitted, sometimes it can be difficult to identify the wire colours. I find a magnifying glass or Jeweller’s loupe helps.

It sounds like the new cables, but before chasing any more cables, I suggest the following. Perhaps the cable with the broken clip has twisted one of the Ethernet socket pins so it now isn’t making proper contact with the patch lead. You may need to have a close look with a magnifying glass or somet...

Any ideas what might be wrong? Recently I’ve been doing a lot of rebooting of my spare T2 while doing server/client testing.

Did you reboot all your STBs and PCs after making the DHCP lease time change? You'd need to do that to ensure they were all now set to the new least time. Otherwise, they would have still been waiting for that (up to) 10 day timer. I rebooted the router, WIZU401 & WIZT2, but didn't reboot WIZU4...

After the ping to WIZU401 fails via name resolution and you can successfully ping via IP address, does the next name resolution ping succeed or fail? Yes & no – the results aren’t consistent as can be seen below retested & posted in the order of testing (IP6 was disabled & enabled as pe...

That’s good to know. I was trying to eliminate different things by going through peteru’s list. Just to clarify; in my router’s Broadband settings I do have IP6 available & connected. It is in the router’s Local Network settings that I don’t have IP6 enabled. To see if IP6 having priority over I...

With that setting at 21 days, if your router (with DNS and DHCP server running) reboots, then it could be up to 10 days before one or more of your network devices asks for an address refresh, and in that time, the router's DNS server will not be able to resolve your network devices names to their I...

sub3R

After all of that, the most likely root cause appears to be that you don't have proper name resolution working on your network. This is evidenced by your inability to ping a machine, due to name lookup failure, in test 8.1 . ... Many thanks for that observation & suggestions. I originally suspe...

The DP-S1 & DP-P1 both have an S-Video socket, but according to the owner manuals they are for Video output, no mention of Video input. The FV-L1 should be the same, & also the DP-Lite & DP-H1 if they have S-Video (not sure if those two did). A LiDiC can be connected for analogue input b...
