Should i leave it off as my FEC errors seem to have dropped?

 

I cant seem to add images from Imgur using BB codes?

Don’t turn on bitswap by telnet. Wait, they will turn on automatically.

Images are limited to 1Mb – try for a while leaving it Off, just incase that works, but I would assume your CRC will increase ?

Does the below mean 0 = on as default?

bitswap      [US] =      1, [DS] =      1.
[0: default(ON), 1: ON, 2: OFF]

Does that take 4 hours for Bitswap to be enabled ?

Within 2h max 3h should be on. I realised that telnet adjustment on vigor may cause issues.

@bully modem has been on for 4 hours and Bitswap was Off for Near End – hence recommendation to enable via Telnet ?

@Bully – I will drop out of this conversation for a while as @Mrk26 and I must be driving you mad with our different advice.

Hope all goes well as I have a Sunday roast to prepare

@bully

Do you have anything connected to back of faceplate?

Also how heavy you use internet now. It’s really strange that bitswap didn’t turn on on downstream.

@Uk Sentinel

Aaaaa Sunday roast 🤤

In generally if bits don’t swap then “bitswap” is not activated.

Couple of speed test or heavy usage should help to turn them on “naturally” (as per my experience).

Nope, nothing connected to back of face plate.  So if i am correct, the blue wires to the living room are filtered?

Yes, these are filtered, so basically shouldn’t cause issues….

And actually you socket is later edition so shouldn’t be issues with it…
