Re: Optik TV occasional disconnects after enabling bridge mode on T3200m
I don't have an extra Moca adapter on hand, so unfortunately I can't test that. I also don't have an Ethernet line to my living room, so testing that will be difficult. I suppose I could set up my PVR and a small TV near the modem, but testing will be difficult due to the low frequency of the issue occuring. That will probably be my next step in troubleshooting though, and I hope that fixes it, as it seems a lot of people on hear are able to run Optik through the T3200 and bridge their own router without issue. I appreciate your input!2.8KViews0likes0CommentsOptik TV occasional disconnects after enabling bridge mode on T3200m
Just as a quick test before ordering a new router, I enabled port 1 bridging and hooked up my old router to port 1 on the T3200m. On the T3200m, I left 5ghz wifi on for my optik TV boxes, and have the PVR hooked up via a Moca bridge, with one end connected drectly to the T3200m. Everything seesm to work perfectly, the wireless boxes connect to the T3200m, the bridged router recieves a dynamic public IP, port forwarding works properly on the bridged router, and the PVR works... most of the time. The only issue I have is once or twice an hour, the PVR bridged via Moca will have it's video freeze, say it's disconnected, then restart after about 5 seconds. This only starts happening after I enabled bridge mode, however I'm just wondering if anyone else had this issue with the T3200m Moca link and Optik TV after bridging their own router, or if anyone has any ideas to try and troubleshoot this. Thanks!2.8KViews0likes2CommentsT3200m: Some questions about Optik TV and port bridging to a separate router
I'm not super happy with the wifi from my T3200M. On 5GHz I top out at about 35 mbps, around 50 on 2.4Ghz, and speeds slow down quickly when I move away from the router. Hardwired I get around 62mbps. I can't seem to get wifi speeds higher, I've tried enabling and disabling SmartSteering and switching to uncongested channels. On top of this on occasion I'll be playing a game online and my ping will jump up to several hundred for a few seconds every now and then. I was thinking of getting a new router to get better wifi performance, but with Optik TV wireless set top boxes requiring the T3200m wireless still enabled things seem to get quite complicated. I'm just wondering if I'm sort of on the right track with what to do. From what I've been reading for a seperate router, you enable bridge mode on port 1 and then plug your router in to that port. Now, for Optik to work, can I just keep wireless enabled on the T3200m, or does bridge mode disable that? And if bridge mode disables that, is there any router which can support the optik wireless boxes? Is there any setup with the boxes if so? Also lastly, I was just slightly confused, am I able to access the T3200m control panel once bridge mode is disabled? A few things I read made it sound like that wasn't possible. Thanks for your help5.5KViews0likes4Comments
