"Switched routers and everything is working perfect. I let the R7000 configure itself as a router and the 66bu as a media bridge. I am going to compare the AX68U settings with what I have now on my R7000 and see what I can find. Thanks for your help, Tech9."...
I only needed two with my slow AT&T service. IMO, bridges are more stable than wireless at slow speeds, plus I needed a port for my POE injector. Not so much now concerning the speed, but I still need a POE port where my bridge is. I know there are options for that, but what I have works. As...
Switched routers and everything is working perfect. I let the R7000 configure itself as a router and the 66bu as a media bridge. I am going to compare the AX68U settings with what I have now on my R7000 and see what I can find. Thanks for your help, Tech9.
I just found that I can get into the Bridge mode with my 66bu Asus if I disconnect the modem while changing the operation mode to media bridge. I lose my gateway when I re-involve the modem and they bridge does not work. After disconnecting modem the gateway to the bridge is still missing, like...
Okay, so my gateway disappeared on my Fresh Tomato router after I configured it for what I thought to be the correct wireless Ethernet bridge settings. Same with my other two routers. I have to reset them to get back in.
Everything seems to be working okay. Yes, status is still showing disconnected.
Yes, that is exactly how I have been setting my router's different modes for several years now. Today it does not seem to work. I have one R7000 with Fresh Tomato on it. I once used it as a bridge and will try it again.
Yes, my modem is going to my router's WAN and my router's LAN is going back to my PC.
My IPv4 is 192.168.0.xxx, my subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and my default gateway is 192.168.0.1
Something strange going on. I can't get any of my asus routers to work as a bridge. I have tried letting them detect, and also me assigning an IP. My wireless is working, so I assume they are connecting to that. When finished, they have no default gateway and I have to reset them.
My AT&T modem/router was a gateway that I had to put in the IP pass-through mode. I followed specific instructions on that which included configuring my router to work with it. When I connected my sparklight modem, my old setup did not work. I changed my LAN IP address on the Asus to 192.168.0.1...
I misunderstood something I read about subnets and have changed it back to 255.255.255.0. I do believe changes were needed for the media bridge because my old setup was with ATT worked. Now it doesn't.
Hello, I went with Sparklight yesterday and supplied my own Modem, a Netgear CM1000v2. I connected my ASUS RT-AX68U router with Merlin Firmware to that, and am using 192.168.0.1 for the LAN IP with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0, which is the same subnet as my modem. I can access the internet...
