ICMP Blocked!
« on: October 12, 2017, 09:15:08 AM »

The Covr is blocking icmp request and there appears no way to allow them.  This necessary for my ipv6 setup.  Is there a hidden advanced network page like some of the other routers have?

Most router manufactures will filter/block IPv6 ICMP requests for "security reasons". ICMP should not be a requirement for IPv6.

Are you getting an IPv6 address in the router?

What modem do you have?

Are you having internet connection issues?

The Onhub has nothing to do with it, it's downstream from my router and only serves as an access points for my 6 Nest Cameras that wont stay connected to the Covr.  ICMP is a requirement for IPV6 tunnel when your lazy ISP does not provide a native one.  You must be pingable in order to set up a tunnel.

What is the ISP Modem Mfr and Model thats upstream from the COVR?

There is no Modem.  I have Fiber and my setup does not require that I use a Modem/Router from the ISP.  It is just Ethernet from my ONT (Optical Network Terminal).

I also have interest in unblocking ICMP. I don't have access to IPv6, but I have been a participating member for several years in a monitor group at dslreports.com, that requires ICMP be unblocked. This was not a problem with my prior routers, Dlink and others. For the test to work the router needs to be pingable. The purpose is to log and graph reachability and speed to dslreports' servers, thereby showing my ISP's actual speed to my location. I don't really want to tinker too much with COVR's settings, since all of the devices on my network seem to be operating quite well. Would it be possible to become pingable if I turned on multicasting?

I can run speed tests. The area I'm having trouble with is Line Monitors. It was working until I changed to the COVR. You can't see the Line Monitor group until you go into one of the ISP forums. The the Line Monitor group for that ISP will be listed on the left. I don't know if it would help but I use the same ID on DSL that I do here.
See this

Not sure if ICMP can be supported since it's not supported or pingable feature with newer generation routers. You might try setting up a Virtual Server configuration and see if that helps. If that doesn't work then not sure that this router will work for you for this feature you looking to use with DSLR...

These are home class routers with simplistic features and operation for the average home user. Not a lot of call for some advanced configurations or features by the average home users...

That's what I was afraid of. Truth be told, that tool was developed quite a few years ago, so we could view throughput from different areas of the cable system. Over the past year, a lot of people dropped off the list, prob because they upgraded routers. If that's the only issue I have with COVR, I'll keep COVR. This setup is a beast! It handles all of the devices on my network now, and does it well. I don't have to fuss with it. I can even go to my neighbor's house next door and stay connected.

Maybe something DSLR should review and update maybe to see if they can get it to work with newer generation routers. With all the security issues about now days, D-Link is only trying to keep there products as safe as possible for there users.

One thing you can and should do. If you need ICMP tests to be done or ran, why not try DMZ on the Router or Go directly to the ISP modem and by pass the router. Run your tests that way to get what you need then put the router back online. Just a suggestion.
