Hello all,
I'm a recent Ziggo customer, who just relocated to the Netherlands.
Before coming, I've been using the same laptop and the same VPN settings for almost 5 months. Back then, I was able to log into my company's VPN and perform the system administration flawlessly, with non-noticeable performance degradation.
Ever since I'm a Ziggo customer (1.000 Mbps plan) I can no longer manage the systems since, right after logging on to the VPN, the entire experience becames a nightmare. That is, the performance to interact with the systems is extremely slow. So much that it is almost indistinguishable from being completely stuck.
Aside from the terminal usage, other websites (my companies and public ones) also stop working correctly. They will remain loading for a while and then terminate with an HTTP error message.
On the other hand, if I try to use my mobile's hotspot it imediately works like before, confirming that the issue is most likely caused by how this modem (Connectbox Giga) is interacting with the VPN.
I am in dire need of help since I'm currently unable to perform my professional tasks and this was the reason I got the internet service in the first place.
Thank you very much in advance (and apologies for having went through my case directly in English, my Dutch still sucks ;D)

Opgelost! Ga naar oplossing.
Since the router is using a shared (CGNAT/AFTR) IP address, switching to an IPv4 Only configuration may improve VPN performance and stability.

I just had an outage. My wifi network vanished for some seconds. After a couple of minutes it came back, I logged on and tried navigating via VPN again...
Everything is working flawlessly. Thank you.
I'll just wait and keep monitoring for one more day but for all it seems, the issue is solved. Very nice!

Looking for the cause, maybe its the configuration of the modem.
What are the first 6 digits of your external IPv4 address? What Is My IP? Quickly See My IP Address
Unfortunately, the SmartWifi modem (Giga) is not well suited for VPN usage due to its implementation of the Intel Puma chipset, causing high latency and jitter. The UBC1318ZG, a modem designed for SMB environments, contains a different type of chipset (Broadcom) which does not exhibit this behavior.
Could you post one or more pictures of the AOP (main outlet in meter cupboard or living room) and cables, plus splitter(s) and signal amplifier, as applicable?
Additionally, could you post the modem’s downstream/upstream data according to these instructions?
Hey, thanks for looking into it: 213.127.xxx.xxx

Hey, it is done. All I need to do is wait now? Do you still need the answers to the previous questions?
The answers to the other questions will determine whether other potential issues (which may adversely affect internet connection performance and stability) exist.
Here are the modem stats. About your other topic, I do not quite get it. The slot/socket (AOP) is exactly the one mentioned at the modem documentation. There are no extra repeaters, splitters...
Downstream and upstream values are all very good, however some uncorrectable errors have accumulated on the OFDM channel, these should be 0.
I asked the question to rule out coax problems. As far as I understand, the modem is directly connected to a btv 01-SET or TRISZ-DG300 AOP outlet?
It is connected to a box just like this one:
Goodmorning @ian__segobio
I've changed the settings to IPv4 which will be ready within 24 hours. @tobiastheebe will help you further if you still need any support 🙂
Hey, noted. Will a modem restart be required?
Doesn't have to. But if you don't see any changes yet after 24 hours, then we advice you to reboot. @ian_segobio

Hello;
I’m experiencing the exact same problem from time to time while using my company’s VPN while working from home.
Can you also help me on my case?
Dank je well!
Goodmorning @metekoc, yes sure! Can you add your zipcode and housenumber to your Ziggo Community account? Then I will make sure you will recieve IPV4 only.
Hello Lotte;
Thank you very much for the reply. I just updated my adress info in my profile.
Could you let me know when it’s done?
Thanks a lot.
@metekoc No problem, it's done 🙂 Enjoy your day!
