I’m hoping that someone can suggest a few avenues for me to explore with my Opal.
After returning from a three week trip I started up my opal router (connected by ethernet to my satellite decoder on the upstream end and to my ISP router on the other - Orange here in France). There was no connection to the internet however, despite all my other connected devices connecting on ethernet without any problems (Blu-ray/amplifier/french tv decoder).
The opal is detected by both machines, and an IP address is attributed by the ISP router but there is no internet connection detected by the opal (or shown when I’m connected to it by wifi in the GLINET app).
I am using version 4.3.25 of the firmware that was supplied with the purchase. I have noticed that the last stable version on the gl-net website is only 4.3.25, can someone explain that?!
I have rebooted everything and tried different ports and cables but to no avail, any help unravelling this mystery would be greatly appreciated.
Regarding the version number, v4.3.28 is a factory firmware. It has no functional changes compared to v4.3.25, so it was not published in the download center. Both versions are safe to use.
As for the issue where the Opal shows no internet connection, could you please:
Provide a screenshot of the WAN status under Opal Admin Panel → Internet
Export the logs and send them to us via private message
Run the following command on a device connected to the Opal to check the status:
# Windows (Command Prompt)
nslookup google.com
tracert 8.8.8.8
# macOS / Linux
nslookup google.com
traceroute 8.8.8.8
