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

Hey Folks,
Good news. See below... I have already returned my LB1120 to Amazon and purchased a Pepwave mini BR1. I hope this will help you. I'm going to ask (again) that Netgear post here but if you have not yet opened a ticket, I recommend you do so. You can reference my ticket number from an earlier post. Also, anybody that posted a ticket number in this thread....I will put that number in my ticket as well.
Good luck. - Dave
Hello, David,
Our engineers have a potential fix for this. Can you get your IMEI number including the serial number and we will see if we can get beta firmware with fix pushed to you.
It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for choosing NETGEAR. Have a great day!
Regards,

I've provided my IMEI to L2 support for them to update my firmware. I'll keep this tread updated... Fingers crossed

Did you get any firmware update yet? I'm encounting the same thing and I'm hoping they come up with a resolution quickly.
- pwherman73Aug 02, 2017Guide
Have not heard back - I'll follow up on the case with them...
- GaryEinsteinAug 03, 2017TutorWe are having the same symptom with Sonicwall. incorrect mask. We have a Simplifi device coming in to test as an alternate. This is a major bug and needs attention.

If this isn't a fix involving a single line of code then I don't know what is.....

I have the same issue with bridge not working. I also have half the speed than i do from my phone. Anyone else experience that? My phone get 55-60 DL and the LB1120 only gets 20-25.
- OneWhoKnowsAug 04, 2017TutorJim, that's actually to be expected. The modem is Cat 4 which doesn't support carrier aggregation. Your phone most likely does.

I submitted a case a little over a month back with no resolution. They explained to me that my Airport Extreme was to blame, even though I had been using the same router in bridge mode on a different provider. My case # was #28631930.

I also opened a ticket this morning for the same issue.
Text Sent:
"I have a LinkSys E2000 V 1.0.06 that has been factory reset along with a LB2120 (which was factory reset) and then changed to Bridge Mode. Connecting the LB2120 to the WAN port of the E2000 will not allow an internet connection to those connected to the router."

has anyone hit their data limit and been throttled back?
- vronpAug 04, 2017Guide
My suggestion would be to contact Netgear and give them some of the other case numbers that have been posted here. At least one of them involves the testing of some new firmware.

With which provider? T-Mobile?

Spoke to Aircard Support at Ntgear (800-810-1987) and was told (aftere consultation with Engineering) that new firmware should be available in 2 to 3 weeks.
So hopefully by the end of August we should be able to use Bridge mode !!
