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
Below is a snapshot from the logs proving that in bridge mode we don't get the subnet on the dhcp request and a hint on how to adjust for it on the router side (update dhcpd.conf with a subnet for that network adapter). What we really need is Netgear to provide a firmware update that fixes the problem and make sure the dhcp response includes a subnet.

Thanks for posting this very useful information.
I got a chuckle reading your post as my SSID is "lakehouse" on the wap I was using for this project.
vronp - LOL - I'm guessing your lakehouse only has horrible DSL or no internet service at all... Hence we need to deal with these things...
No DSL and no clear path to a satellite !!!
