[AusNOG] Going beyond ADSL in a non-NBN world

[James Hodgkinson]

I've had a similar issue with Vigor120's in bridge mode using a Mikrotik
RB750g.... endless disconnects because after power outs the Draytek tends
to corrupt its config, which requires many hours of swearing to get it
*just* right again.

Swapped it out with a Billion, fixed!
