<p>Telstra's modems are notoriously terrible (as are most big name
ISP's who customize the firmware), but on the plus side Telstra is
now perhaps the only ISP that does IPv6 on NBN and ADSL products
(Internode doesnt do it on products they are selling through AAPT
wholesale, like NBN-HFC and NBN-FTTC)</p>
<p>If you don't use a phone service which Telstra insists on
providing via their crappy modem - you can just replace it with
something like a cheap TP-Link. Which you can likely reload with
OpenWRT or similar. If youre using fttn then youll need to get a
vdsl modem (even just a 1 port dm200 from netgear, in bridge
mode).</p>
<p>Or you could run a pfsense/opnsense appliance, or roll your own
via and bsd you like. For <br>

<p>I've not yet had the chance to get Telstra IPv6 running on a
non-Telstra device though. Assuming they are just using DHCPv6
(they just use DHCP for ipv4) then it should just be a matter of
providing settings they will accept.</p>

a group that just might have a few clues for me. Any
suggestions gratefully accepted.<br>
<br>
I run a FreeBSD system at home as a file server. Have done
since maybe '92 or so, but of course all of the moving parts
and bits have changed over time. Today's version has a
new-ish version-1 Ryzen motherboard with 32G RAM (which I've
managed to stop spontaneously freezing a couple of times a
week, over the break, by locking _all_ P-states off except 0,
in BIOS). That is host to an NVME SSD that holds root, /usr,
/var, etc, and four 4T Hitachi drives in RaidZ form for user
data. There are two quota-limited ZFS volumes on there that I
use to TimeMachine backup the house's two macOS systems. Main
network file service to the macs is over the latest Samba,
with all of the Unix and Mac-friendly tweaks enabled, and that
doesn't seem to work too badly. Not totally fluid (SMB
restrictions on file name characters bight every so often, as
do slightly weird file permissions) but tolerable, and
seemingly the only option really supported by macOS these
days. TimeMachine still run!<br>
s over AFP, so NetAtalk is on there too. That box is
connected to a switch over gigabit ethernet, as is my mac
desktop and a Telstra Netcomm cable-modem-cum-wifi-router.
Hanging off the 5GHz Wifi band at the moment is a brand new
MacBook Air, a replacement for my wife's dying old MacBook.
It's on it's first boot, and is attempting to restore from the
last backup of the MacBook, some 280G. It claims that it will
take another 36 hours, at the current average pace of 2MB/s.
That seems low to me, by perhaps as much as a factor of 60.
I've read that 5GHz WiFi is supposed to manage 1300 Mb/s under
good conditions, and in this case the new laptop is about
eight feet from the WiFi router, in line of sight. Doesn't
get much better than that. Not that there's much I can do
about it now, but does anyone have any thoughts about why the
restore performance should be so awful? Could it be
bottlenecking on the laptop's APFS write speed? Something
pessimal about NetAtalk over WiF!<br>
i? A rubbish network stack in the Telstra modem? (Heaven
knows the user-interface and the firewall are rubbish. The
device drops all IPSec packets silently on the ground.)<br>
