Hi,
My BSNL Fiber connection started flapping last Friday (28-Feb-2020) in Pune, Hadapsar area.
It works great (full 100 Mbps symmetrically) for ~5 minutes and then stops working for around 45 seconds or so. This goes on and on in a cycle.
I use an Optilink ONU (with unused VoIP/telephone port and disabled WiFI) along with TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 WiFi router running OpenWrt 19.07.2.
Yesterday, I put the ONU in bridge mode and shifted the PPPoE process to Archer C7 router but this hasn't helped (I did reads posts here that said that doing the same did help them). I have increased the PPPoE timeout values and this maintains the PPPoE session fine but packets don't go through during this downtime window. After this downtime, the old PPPoE session still works just fine.
The ONU TX and RX signal levels are fine and stable and LOS is maintained at all times. I have been using Wireshark for debugging at packet level but the problem doesn't seem to exist at ONU and PPPoE layers.
While I have backup internet connections, I would like to get BSNL Fiber working stable again. What could be causing this weird problem? Another person in my society has reported a similar problem.
I am talking with the local BSNL person (LCO person?) but that isn't helping much so far. Should I try changing the ONU unit?
Thanks for the help and debugging ideas!
