D7000v2 no internet connection with Nighthawk MR1100
I have a D7000v2 system running as a WiFi router configured for internet access via its WAN port i.e., I am not using the ADSL modem. The WAN port correctly provides internet connectivity when using...
You said it is getting an IP address from the MR1100 (via passthrough).
Are you sure this is not an APIPA (failed DHCP) IP address (they start with 169.254.x.x)?
Or is it getting a 10.x.x.x IP? Or is it getting a 192.168.x.x IP? Or is it getting a 172.16.x.x through 172.31.x.x IP?
Or is it getting an IP outside of the four ranges I've mentioned?
Is your PC or router able to traceroute to a numeric IP? tracert -d 8.8.8.8
- Thanks. The assigned IP address to D7000 is the same as the MR1100 public IP address. This makes sense since it is in IP passthrough mode.
I can try traceroute from a PC but I suspect it will fail since ping to 8.8.8.8 also fails.- Is the D7000 WAN set to DHCP?
Try factory defaulting the D7000 and see if that works.
Additionally, test without IP pass through, with DHCP enabled on the MR1100 to test if it is a problem with pass-through.
I'm assuming thr D7000 is staying away from the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet which is used by the MR1100?
Are you able to ping the MR1100 at 192.168.1.1? It should work, even in pass-through mode. Can you get to the web page of the MR1100, http://192.168.1.1 ?
It sounds like a routing issue.Thanks for you help. I've decided to go down another route (different router/modem). If I get the chance in future I'll try out your suggestions further.
