Title: Cannot ping anything outside the router!
Post by: et3rnal on May 06, 2020, 04:35:01 AM
Hi,

I have
Model Name: DIR-2680   
Hardware Version: A1   
Firmware Version: 1.04

Since I installed it I can't get the ping to work at all!, I tried pinging 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1 and many more it doesn't seem to work and it doesn't matter from where I try that.

I have smart devices cant connect to the internet anymore since I got it, pinging the server isn't working
I have reset it few time tried to change the configurations a bit without luck. Any idea??

Thanks

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

Do you have D-Link Defend enabled on the router?

Was the router working before any firmware updates?
I updated the same day I installed it. So don't know.

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
NBN, using an ethernet cable to the DIR-2680 WAN then PPPOE with username/password, DSL like connection.

What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
No idea, but if I plug my old router I can ping fine, so it must be the router blocking the ping.

I would get online with your regional D-Link chat support and ask about this...

The router is not connected to the Internet. Reboot the modem.

Is the router pulling an IP address from your ISP?

It is connected I can browse the internet just fine. It is just not stable, cannot ping! disconnect wifi devices, the log issues others having. It is only usable while the McAfe turned off, if I activate it it becomes useless.

It just got me discounected while typing this! and I have restart it about 10 minutes ago!
