Called for support on degraded/intermittent Fusion ADSL performance. Replaced maybe-failing Pace 4111N with Smart/RG SR516ac. Four static IP addresses, one of which is on Sonic's device, the other three on other devices (HP PC running FreeBSD, Dell PC running FreeBSD, Apple Airport base station).
Had to give the SmartRG router its address (this information resulting from a call to Sonic support) for it to light its Internet lamp (it not doing this after 30+ minutes is why I called).
The SmartRG does OK as a router and AP. If I plug in or connect to it via WiFi and let it DHCP me I can browse, do e-mail, &c. ADSL performance is not so obviously intermittent with it too, thus far anyway.
But there's those other three devices with their static IP addresses. The FreeBSD hosts can ping each other, and the SmartRG, and the Airport base station, through their ports on the Smart/RG but act like they can't get packets out: lots of "sendto: host is down" which suggests ARP'ing for the default gateway (173.228.89.1) isn't working like it did with the Pace. Yup, incomplete ARP cache entry.
Has anyone got a configuration similar to this working, and if so how?
