Just to give you an idea, here is what I use on my desktop machine:
"Routing": {
"Type": "dht"
},
...
"ConnMgr": {
"GracePeriod": "60s",
"HighWater": 300,
"LowWater": 50,
"Type": "basic"
},
And here is what I use on my laptop:
"Routing": {
"Type": "dhtclient"
},
...
"ConnMgr": {
"GracePeriod": "60s",
"HighWater": 40,
"LowWater": 20,
"Type": "basic"
},
i’ve changed mine to the following disable HolePunching a while ago
“Routing”: {
“Type”: “dhtclient”
},
“Swarm”: {
“AddrFilters”: null,
“ConnMgr”: {
“GracePeriod”: “60s”,
“HighWater”: 800,
“LowWater”: 400,
“Type”: “basic”
Compare your high/low water numbers to mine, you’re still way up.
i’ve cut down 30% from the default value 
will try your way, thanks!
Also, we haven’t explored the possibility that the VPN is what is causing the problem. You should try without it for a while, to see if it makes a difference.
indeed. i’ll try after the next outage (hopefully it won’t happen again:scream:
)

The list of addresses in your screenshot is wrong, compared to mine, which is how it should look. I suspect your connection is going up and down, forcing your node to reestablish itself every time. You probably tried to retrieve content while it was doing that. There’s still something screwy with your network…
Your addresses are same as my IPFS addresses list…but the one on IPFS Check are different
Do you think a new wifi router with ip6 will solve the problem?
Unless your ISP provides IPv6 service (and the modem supports it), there’s no point in trying to set up IPv6 on your router. Also, only other nodes with IPv6 can talk to yours using it, you still need IPv4 for everybody else.
We still haven’t definitively established what’s going on with your network. Also, I’d like to understand how you were able to connect both your computer and the router to the modem at the same time, and that was actually working somehow. Maybe there’s a solution there somewhere, can you give me more info about your modem?
ISP modem: Alcatel Lucent with 4 ports at the back
Wifi router is a Buffalo Airstation WCR-G300
my desktop is an hp all-in-one HP AIO 22-df0124hk, purchased few months ago
it just occurred to me that one port from my modem to my hp, another port to my wifi modem
Viola, and it works…until you told me otherwise 
By the way, i just check my uploaded files using my notebook and it works find on it sharing the same wifi router
The issue is that modems typically are bridges, not routers, and ISPs usually only provide 1 public IPv4 address. So, the first device you connect to the modem will grab it, but if you connect another, it’s not really clear what’s going to happen to it. I’ll research that modem and see what I can find.
Do you have a model number for the modem?
No!
http://192.168.4.254/ produced this => “This site can’t be reached”
Furthermore, i don’t have an username & password to go online
K, the only thing to do now, then, is to call your ISP and ask if it’s OK to attach more than 1 device to the modem, and what exactly happens when you do that. Once we know, we can move forward one way or another.
just talked to the CS (technical) guy of my ISP
he confirmed that my previous setting is correct:
Now i’m back to connecting my desktop directly to the ISP modem. Behind VPN
ipfs daemon is running ok
File status: not accessible by others, including my own browser
