I've been a long time lurker here, posted on stackoverflow by accident. Someone was nice enough to direct me here.
Anyway, I had to ask a question since majority of the users on TP Link forums are inactive.
I have an ADSL2+ connection at my house, the modem provided by the ISP was trash, so I ordered a TP-Link TD-8840T ADSL2+ Modem/Router (non-Wireless).
Before the setup was as below:
ISP modem (D-Link 2750U) - TP Link WDR3500 Router (connected through blue WAN port). I was able to perform trace routes, without packet loss and timing out.
Ever since I bought the new TP Link modem and connected it to my TP Link router, through the blue WAN port, I can't perform trace routes. After hopping on the modem, it times out after that on every hop.
here's a copy:
2 ms 2 ms 2 ms 192.168.1.1
* * * Request timed out.
* * * Request timed out.
* * * Request timed out.
And it keeps on going like this.
Some people said it had something to do with Double NAT, so I used my router as an Access Point and connected it to the modem through the yellow LAN port, however still can't perform trace routes. Weirdest part is, if I connect my laptop DIRECTLY to the modem through LAN cable, I still can't perform trace routes.
Really confused here. Would greatly appreciate if someone could help out here.
Thanks :)
