My Linksys Wrt32x suddenly stopped passing internet data to my sky router.
Everything looks’ like it’s working according to front panel lights.
The sky router reports that it can see the Linksys MAC address.
( and logging directly onto the Sky router enables full access to the internet, pings 8.8.8.8 perfectly)
Using a net scanner software shows that all devices that should connect to the Linksys Wrt32x, are correctly connected.
It simply looks like the Linksys Wrt32x just isn’t passing data to the Sky broadband router!….
Any ideas please?

Cable tests ok.
Different ports on sky router tried.
Both routers have been rebooted..

Are you running two routers or are you referring to the router and modem?
If I understand . . neither wired or wireless devices can connect?? Everything was working until . . when???
Have you made any changes to the working setup prior to failure? Have you deleted/disabled/added any changes that could have affected connection?
If running an OpenVPN or Wireguard VPN setup have you tried disabling either and then checking connections? Are your passwords for vpn connection correct? Have you double checked basic vpn setups for errors? Status/VPN tab should show a connection or error.
Have you set up any PBR's? Check for errors. If so delete or disable and reboot.
Check ALL basic router settings for bad inputs or enabled by mistake options.
That's all I have =), hopefully others will respond.

Your firmware is obsolete. Lately we've had issues with new firmware releases but maybe another user of your linksys router model can recommend a stable version to update to???? Anyone??

I suspect ttraff is enabled and has filled up nvram space, among other things. Without explicit configuration details, we can only guess what the problem is.
The ttraff daemon can fill up a couple hundred bytes of nvram space every month. This may not seem like much but nvram is only ~32KB total and is full of lots of other data. Disabling ttraff and clearing it's old nvram data is sometimes needed for devices with complex configurations, or to keep the router stable. This script will clear all of ttraff's traffic data from nvram whereas using the ttraff GUI button to delete it still leaves the current month's variable.
Code:
for i in `nvram show | grep traff- | cut -f1 -d=""`; do nvram unset $i; done
Also, I'm fairly certain that the most current releases should be okay. I'm still running 60523 at the moment with almost 60 days' uptime, but I do not have ttraff enabled. I would suggest upgrade at the minimum. Hard reset and rebuild configuration from scratch, if absolutely necessary. Keep in mind, however, Marvell is now using DSA driver for the ethernet ports, so any VLANs involved would need a completely different approach for configuration as the switch config tab is no longer present. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
