I have applied to be upgraded to slingshots fibre plan. Unfortunately the application failed due to the Telecom telling Slingshot my address is not in range for that service. Of course I got a message here from Chorus telling me otherwise. Anyway, Slingshot already did sent me the TriplePlay 150 router. I thought it can't hurt for somewhat $20. The router came preset with the connection data for ADSL and UFB. Once I turned it on and had changed the WiFi password and SSID to something other than the default I started to run into problems right away.Certain sites just wouldn't load. The weird thing was pages of certain websites were not loading while other pages from the same site were loading just fine. Pretty fast it was clear the problem lies with https sites, like gmail, facebook, pinterest. Google Chrome gave me an "Error Connection Reset" every time. I went through the basics like clearing cache, cookies etc., changed browsers, deinstalled the chrome, tried incognito mode, flushed dns, entered dns servers manually into the network card and so on. But nothing seemed to help. Sometimes CTRL+R or a simple F5 would work to load the page. Sometimes it loaded only half of the content. Mostly it just did not load at all. After resetting the router and using all the defaults and still not having the pages load correctly I gave up and switched to my old netgear router and things just work as they should.If anybody here has the TriplePlay 150 having the same problem, I would appreciate a solution if someone found it.
