Cant connect on BT Fiber Home Hub 5 (Mac)

[double0seven 0]

Ive just moved and got BT Fiber to the Premises installed using a Home Hub 5 modem but airvpn refuses to connect, it just tries over and over, gets stuck on checking DNS or checking route. I tried switching off "check if tunnel is working properly" but it made no difference. Have checked my modem vpn settings and the only option is to switch "Port Clamping" on.

 

I get: IPv6 disabled on network bridge (thunderbolt bridge) when first connecting, then this DNS of a network adapter restored to original settings (thunderbolt bridge) repeatedly when it re-tries to connect. I have no idea what these things mean. 

 

Please help! 

 

Thanks

Hello !

 

Firstly, I'm sorry about BT. Hah, no I'm kidding. Maybe. . .hehe.

 

Seriously though I'd recommend getting a router and/or hardware that your ISP, BT in this case, doesn't provide. It can improve your life in many ways, not least in allowing for more flexibility. Like yoga.

 

It would also be nice if you could paste the actual logs here, so that we can see everything . Right now it's a little like describing the texture of a smell in the air, when the larger picture would reveal that the house is actually on fire, haha.

 

Maybe you could try disable some network adapters that you're not using and/or turn off or unplug services you aren't using, in places like your networking settings, so that the Air client doesn't try connect via the wrong services/devices/whatever.

 

It could sound like you're trying to connect via IPv6, which is an internet protocol. Well it's recommended to avoid this version for various reasons and stick to IPv4 if possible .

 

Also, there's two such "checking" settings I believe. One of which is for DNS, that you mentioned. The other setting is in the tab right next to DNS. So if you did want to use this option now or later, I think you normally have more luck if you turn off both and then restart the client. I don't have the client available at the moment, to be more clear sorry.

 

Apologies I can't be more helpful at the moment, as I'm roaming.

Thanks LZ1, I switched off both checking points and it connected to a server but pages won't load at all. It jumped from 0kbs to 67kbs back to 0kbz repeatedly but no pages loading. 

 

I plan on getting the NETGEAR D7000-100UKS Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band 600 + 1300 Mbps modem when I can afford it as I know the BT HH5 is crapola. 

 

So now my next issue is figuring out why no pages are loading. I restarted Safari but to no avail.
