Recentrly upgraded to gigabit and replaced all my network nic switches to 2.5gb, was pretty satisfied with how smooth it was. Unfortunately early this morning (before today's storm in Toronto ) I notcied my wifi stopped working. I use a tp-link deco mesh system and had to do a complete factory reset to get wifi going again.
Sadly, now when I try to open a port, it straight out refuses to open. Ive tried port forwarding on my deco mesh router, on the bell giga hub, opening a dmz, but nothing works. I have no idea what broke. I was using PPPOE prior but now that severely throttles my speed. Maybe a limitation with the deco, but it was working fine yesterday. Help or insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm suspecting it was a firmware update on the gigahub that messed with things.
If I replace the bell hub, that might work but if it is indeed a firmware update, i can see it happening again.
