[Asus TM-AC1900] Cannot connect to WAN

[Dennis]

I recently picked this router up to replace my old(er) Linksys E3000. No matter what I try, I can't get it to successfully connected to my broadband connection. I happen to be on Verizon FIOS using an Actiontec as a bridge. The Linksys connects flawlessly.

I reset the router to factory defaults, tried cloning the Linksys Mac (which shouldn't be necessary as it isn't required for the Linksys), changed the default IP address to be the same as the Linksys (again I don't know why this would make a difference) and half a dozen other things, all to no avail.

The WAN light on the router shows mostly as solid blue with some blinking (similar to what the LAN light is doing).

Any suggestions?

I figured this out. I needed to release the IP address from my old router first (or wait until the lease expired).
