Removing the Bitdefender Box 2 resolved the issue.Īs a workaround, I have turned off Bridge mode and the Bitdefender is now in a DMZ (outside the T3200M firewall) but, that has created some minor issues. Additionally, over the last few days since the initial problem when the Bitdefender Box 2 was using 'bridge mode' on the T3200M it occasionally appeared to cause the 'FAIL' light on the TELUS provided Nokia Optical Network Terminal (ONT) to come on and all of my devices (Optik TV, internet) to fail. Does anyone know more about 'bridge mode'? I assumed only one IP would be used by the T3200M and everything else attached would be via / behind that IP. Strange how after years this is suddenly a problem. LAN(LocalAreaNetwork)forconnectingotherdevicesorrouters. WAN(WideAreaNetwork)forconnectingtheBOXtoyourInternetService Provider’srouterormodem.

I contacted TELUS and was told the device (was Bitdefender Box 2) using bridge mode was the problem as it was acquiring too many IP addresses. 1.1.OverviewofBitdefenderBOX TheBOXhasthreeportsonthebackoftheunit: 1. This includes switch from TELUS copper to fibre optic last year.Įarly on July 15, my internet went down for no apparent reason. I put the T3200M into 'bridge mode' and attached the Bitdefender box to that 'bridge' port no problems since purchasing the device a few years ago with this configuration. The Bitdefender Box 2 is available to buy now for £179.99, 199.99, 199.99, or 799.99 RON.

To be safe ( I assumed) I have by Optik TV boxes attached directly to the LAN jacks on the T3200M (and using their own network).

Removing the Bitdefender Box 2 resolved the. I have had for a few years a Bitdefender Box 2 (basically a router / firewall to protect my IoT devices) attached to my TELUS T3200M without issues. Additionally, over the last few days since the initial problem when the Bitdefender Box 2 was using bridge mode on the T3200M it occasionally appeared to cause the FAIL light on the TELUS provided Nokia Optical Network Terminal (ONT) to come on and all of my devices (Optik TV, internet) to fail.
