Directly send SOLICIT setting missing?

[windswept321]

Hi,

I'm having issues with my MER based VDSL connection, where speed is 5mb then no reconnection is possible after a disconnection - I have to then plug in the ISP's router for internet to work again.
Guides state that Directly send SOLICIT should be enabled, but I can't see this option.

Is it still required or something that is no longer in OPNsense?

We use a hybrid mode now that caters to both sides of users, because it was one issue that a lot of people tripped over depending on what their ISP prefers.

The issue you are seeing, however, is that the ISP ignores your request upon reconnect and leaves your connectivity dead in the water. We have similar cases for IPv4 DHCP but no clear way to solve this yet.


Cheers,
Franco

Thanks for replying.
It seems to be behaving at the moment (maybe no disconnects?) so I will live with it for now. The speed issue I think was a hardware problem.
