Hi folks,
Just dumped Comcast (yay!) and shifted over to CenturyLink's overpriced gigabit fiber (boo?). Previously on Comcast, I had no problems getting the cable modem's WAN address to be seen by the router. Once I changed to CenturyLink's modem, however, I have found that I am not getting a real WAN address, but instead an IP address from the modem's subnet.
The modem is at 192.168.0.1, with my router at 192.168.1.1. Problem is the router insists that the WAN address is 192.168.0.4 — and external access fails. I have also set the DMZ on the modem to point to 192.168.0.4, but that doesn't work either.
Screenshot snippet attached, showing the issue. Really appreciate any ideas anyone can share... slowly driving me insane!
