That doesn't really make a lot of sense, or it is a very poorly coded application as it has to be able to tell they are not connected to the LAN as the LAN ports (4) are physically part of the modem. The only way that would work is if the developer has dropped the ball and the logic is to scan all available Wi-Fi networks and then simply dump all remaining devices that it has not been able to locate on the LAN without actually scanning the physical ports of the modem.
Is this stuff really that buggy, well that is not buggy it is just poorly written code and too be honest I think I will just uninstall it as the more I get into it, it just trying to reduce the latency to try and improve the online gaming experience. I don't think it would actually be improving the performance that much anyway.
If it can't work out the most basic part of the network topology, I am guessing the rest of it is just a few flashy dashboards that are not actually doing much of anything. It fell at the first hurdle, actually managing the Quality of Service and routing all the data whist managing the bandwidth was never going to happen.
It sounds like one of those 12-year-old online gamers knocked it up in the garden shed after school.
This whole Telstra modem and deal where they guarantee you will get full coverage of your property or they will give you additional boosters for free was all just a sales pitch, only installed it 6 months ago and the modem already died and had to be replaced.
Thanks anyway for the response.
Will have to throw it all out and go get some decent kit. As they say, the "poor man pays twice" and I know I have done it enough times, you think I would learn.
Try and take the cheap way out and it bites you in the ass and you have to go out and buy the thing you should have brought the first-time round.
Yeah, it is the Gen 3 Modem and booster you have in that image.
