I moved house last week, switching from Fiber to Comcast
.
As I was without internet for a while, there were lots of firmware updates to do. Almond+, PS4, Printer etc...
I mistakenly updated them right away. Everything seemed fine for the first few days, until I tried to download a game on my PS4, or stream a video (youtube or netflix) through chromecast. Neither would work.
I thought it could be Comcast, or my new Motorola SB6183 modem (or one of the firmware updates I did). Everything on Google talked about needing to enable UPnP, NAT, AP, DMZ, port forwarding certain ports etc.. I tried it all.
nothing worked. In fact, I reset the Almond+ multiple times while troubleshooting. Nothing I did mattered.
Finally, I dug out and plugged in my old Asus RT-N66u (running TomatoUSB), and it (ps4 and chromecast) worked right away. Needless to say, I'm extremely annoyed. I just wasted 8 hours on what is almost certainly an Almond+ bug.
I was initially fairly happy with my Almond+ purchase, as despite abysmal 5GHz performance/stability, it was a cool gadget that worked pretty well, and had future promise. What I realized this week though, is that my router is absolutely central to everything. A router bug can cause havoc to every gadget in my house. Just searching the forums show numerous similar issues, and I'm not sure.
So, is this a known bug?
