LB-1120 Bridgemode firmware Fix NEED UPDATE
Hi All NetGear posters with history of this model not working correctly for bridging function with original firmware. ***Need a heads-up*** now that Netgear Firmware fix has been available for a few months, can any of you comment on reliability of the fix? Also, if I were to purchase new LB-1120 SOON, to use in bridge configuration, does anyone know if factory firmware bridging fix actually went into production or should it be assumed that no new shipments have occurred? I need to implement remote viewing of small IP camera system located in rural area and already wasted 5 months on HughesNet satellite who is having severe difficulties in No. CA with one or more beams. I have finally resigned to fact that I have NO viable alternative except LTE mobile that will net me at least 2Mb upload to support remote camera viewing and can't make another bad decision(I hope?). Lastly, if Netgear can't tell me how I can reliably obtain new unit with GOOD firmware, how difficult is update process online?
THX, Brookeville

Hi,
I can't comment on the LB1120, however it's cousin, the LB2120 (Australian version) now works perfectly in Bridge mode. I'm assuming you're in the North American region, which as I understand from another thread, got the new firmware ahead of the EU and and AUS regions, so all should be good.
Just FYI, the LTE provider I use doesn't provide public IPs, rather it gives NATd private IPs. This is the configuration most people were struggling so I thinkif you get a public IP, it should work with any type of firmware.
I'm trying to setup remote video monitoring of a DVR/NVR network. The only Internet service available is Verizon LTE. I purchased Verizon (NovaTel) "Mi-Fi" LTE router to get the SIM card programmed on their system. My DVR manual indicates that I can either use a static IP (VERY $$$) or I can use DDNS where DVR has abaility to "reach out to changing IP addresses, so, I would want to use DDNS and implement LB-1120/2120 in bridge mode connected to new WI-FI Router. Your thoughts?
