Done but not working anyother settings required?
You will have to add the IP address and gateway of the ONT in the other router's settings to use it as an AP.

The EU servers connectivity issue in BF3 and BF4 seems to have been resolved. Now, the pings are showing up for all of them. (y)

Same old random disconnection issue on ADSL and this lame exchange staff is still stuck at '15 more days for GPON in your area'. How crap these copper lines are by the way.

:::QUESTION:::
My PTCL modem has stopped working. Should i go for new PTCL issued modem or get new different non-ptcl one? In case of different one has anyone got any suggestions?
Regarding new ptcl issued modems, i have heard that you can't change DNS of those modem (something to do with ptcl's own firmware).

Are you on ADSL or VDSL?

ADSL at the moment. Converting on VDSL sometime in next week or so. The current modem they are issuing is fiberhome HG 150 ub. I don't whether you can change it's DNS though.
Wait for the new VDSL modem.

It probably won't have an option to change DNS, but you can set manual DNS on each client instead.

Thanks for the reply. How would i change the DNS manually. I thought the only way you can change the DNS by going onto the modem page 192.168.x.x and then changing the DNS from advance settings.

Each client has different ways of doing it.

Windows, Android, iOS, etc all allow custom DNS servers.

[MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION] Are these stats fine? TX stat usually fluctuates by 0.2 dBM you said anything less than 0.7 dBM shouldn't cause any issues, But i do face some packet loss in games, What can be the reason for this? Do you have any ideas?

Spoiler: show

RX power is extremely low.

Either their hub / FDH is very close to you, or something is up, but that RX power is really on the low end of the spectrum.

They did place a black box on the pole which is like couple of feet away from my home. What is the idle RX power level? I did send them a screenshot, they too said something about the power and they said they will send over some guys to fix it. Also according to the tech guy this is currently EPON not GPON but they will shift it to GPON.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
