M7 Pro (MR7400)... Bridge Mode/IP-Passthrough Only Works After Reboot?
As the topic says... If I reboot the router to which the M7 is attached via eth, then I have to reboot the M7 as well before bridge mode works. Has anyone else experienced this, or the contrary;...
Hey... thanks for responding. You are correct, it works when you reboot the M7. It's always nice to get confirmation from someone else of "works that way for me too". My point is that it only works when you reboot the M7.
When the connection drops out or the IP address becomes invalid for any reason means someone has to physically walk to the M7 and reboot it. Given the M7's ability to connect external antennae means it has many use cases where the device is not simply right in front of you. Since everything usually works as soon as it's rebooted my point is that any device should be re-issuing a DHCP request whenever a re-connection is possible... and there's no technical reason why it can't, or shouldn't.
...or at least provide the ability to manually provoke the process to run and anyone with my use-cases can implement the rest themselves.
