It is possible that after the IPv6 configuration, the default route is changed or the IGMP proxy stopped. Simple fix to get up and running with your new configuration.

Mocht je nog tegen een issue aanlopen sinds 15-10-2021 zag ik dat er een aapassing was geweest waardoor mijn Edgerouter X veel meer geheugen verbruikt. Tevens gaf de GUI aan dat er een config reload was geweest waardoor de GUI een refresh nodig had. Dit was elke 5 min.

eth0 is mijn WAN interface richting mijn NTU.

Nu blijkt dat ik in mijn config de task scheduler(elke 5min) het volgende had staan:
cat /config/scripts/tvroute.sh

#!/bin/vbash

# configured static route target
CUR_IP=$(cat /config/config.boot | grep 213.75.112.0/21 -A1 | grep next-hop | awk '{ print $2}');

# static route target
NEW_IP=$(cat /var/run/dhclient_eth0.4_lease | grep router | awk -F= '{print $2}' | tr -d \');

if [ "$CUR_IP" = "$NEW_IP" ]; then
   echo Addresses the same
   exit 1;
fi

source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template

configure
delete protocols static route 213.75.112.0/21 next-hop $CUR_IP
set protocols static route 213.75.112.0/21 next-hop $NEW_IP
commit
save
exit

restart igmp-proxy

na uitzoeken blijkt dat er geen nieuwe route meer binnen komt. Dit heb ik opgelost door:

Door de huidige code
NEW_IP=$(cat /var/run/dhclient_eth0.4_lease | grep router | awk -F= '{print $2}' | tr -d \');

Te vervangen door onderstaande code
NEW_IP=$(cat /var/run/dhclient_eth0.4_lease | grep new_dhcp_server_identifier | awk -F= '{print $2}' | tr -d \');

@Allroundhosting bedoel je dat er aan de kant van KPN een wijziging heeft plaatsgevonden? Hier enkele maanden regelmatig dat het internet eruit klapt, soft reset nodig om de boel weer draaiende te krijgen (edge router lite + unifi switches).

FYI - to enable resolving local hostnames, I had to add the router IP to the name servers listed under switch 0, see below.
I think there must be a more elegant way... But this did the trick for me for now. Best!

De volgende regels kloppen niet meer:
pppoe_id=$(ifconfig | grep -m 1 eth0 | awk '{print $5}' | awk -F':' '{print "set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 6 pppoe 0 user-id "$1"-"$2"-"$3"-"$4"-"$5"-"$6"@internet"}')
en
r_ip=$(show dhcp client leases | grep router | awk '{ print $3 }');

Voor de eerste heb ik het mac-adres met de hand eruit gehaald (volgende regel in de ifconfig output van eth0).

Voor de tweede heb ik de regel elders in deze thread gebruikt:
r_ip=$(cat /var/run/dhclient_eth0.4_lease | grep new_dhcp_server_identifier | awk -F= '{print $2}' | tr -d \');

hey bro, thx a lot for this... it will save me a lot of time. QQ: the TV still doesn't work with EdgeRouterX?

Np! I don't know tbh. I dont have television included anymore for a while and also not using the edgerouter anymore. Switched to a custom built router with OPNsense

Thank you Ruben ! This helped a lot!

I thought the EdgeRouterX didn't support the hardware offloading:

config_user824@ubnt# set system offload ipv4 forwarding enable 
Error: platform does not support IPv4 forwarding offload

From this section:

configure
 
set system offload ipv4 forwarding enable
set system offload ipv4 pppoe enable
set system offload ipv4 vlan enable
 
commit
save
exit

I simply configured following:

configure

set system offload hwnat enable
set system offload ipsec enable

commit ; save

From: https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/115006567467-EdgeRouter-Hardware-Offloading

Still new with ubiquiti hardware so I need to figure out a lot first. Access point was automatically integrated whenever using the app without manual config. I thought I needed to change some settings in the Edge router X.

I was thinking of making some ansible-playbooks with different configuration files for certain settings. The thing is this ETH0 configuration will not work when changing provider for example.

Last point:
Anyone else having difficulties when using the app / network application ? I cannot find my devices using these applications. I suspected the FW settings.
