LB1120 Bridge Mode - No Connectivity
Hello, Trying out an LB1120 before installing across three locations as failover devices. Using AT&T and testing behind a consumer Linksys E2500 with default settings. The LB1120 works fine using...
A new firmware has been posted on the update servers that fixes the LB bridge mode issue. To update LB1120, LB1121 or LB2120 to latest Firmware log into the LB web ui and go to Settings àGeneral à Software and Reset once there select check for update and wait then simply follow onscreen instructions to update the Firmware. See below for example of how the LB2120 Firmware Info screen looks like after update. For other device just need to make sure that you are using App Version: NTG9X07C_12.09.05.27
I have this problem as well.
Has anyone from NETGEAR responded to this issue?
To put it succinctly, this seems like a bug in the LTE Modem. In Bridge mode, one would expect the IP address AND netmask handed out by the ISP to be passed to the connected device rather than the often unusable netmask of 255.255.255.255.
It seems like a relatively simple fix to pass along the netmask provided by the ISP DHCP server and it is the right thing to do in Bridge mode.
Can someone from NETGEAR confirm that this issue has been reported to engineering and provide any status update?
Thanks
I have sent in emails about it, got nothing, there is virtually ZERO support from Netgear.
Pretty sure it is in the turd of a modem design that came when they acquired Sierra's AirCard stuff.
If anyone knows of a good LTE modem design that works in bridge mode please let the group know, I don't care if they cost 2-3x what this NetGear modem cost, as long as it works.
