Hi All,
I'm trying to dedicate a port on my Asus to a secondary WAN connection going to a 4G backup router/modem. No matter what I do, I cannot get the ASUS to get DHCP from the 4G router or talk to it via static IP.
If I unplug the cable from the Asus backup WAN ethernet port and plug it into a laptop, I instantly get DHCP from the 4G router.
I've tried resetting the 4G router and make sure Asus is the first thing that touches it. I've tried cloning the mac address of my laptop. I've tried downgrading firmware on the ASUS.
I've even tried a crossover cable.
No matter what, ASUS reports "ISPs DHCP was not functioning properly". If I make it static ip in the known range of the 4G router (a separate /24 from the ASUS), I still can't access it. Even with a simple ping from ASUS terminal.
What god forsaken thing am I missing here?
Edit: ifconfig on the ASUS shows 0 TX packets for this interface?
RX packets:4294967978 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
I know those are the stats to the correct ethX because of the cloned MAC address I gave it
