FVS318G v2 Basic Setup Question
My ISP upgraded/switched me from a cable modem to a Gateway. Now I can't use the FVS318 WAN port and FW, I have to use a LAN port essentially turning the firewall into an expensive switch. + I ma...
Well I've decided to send the FVS318G back and use the Gateway firewall.
The gatway is supplied by the ISP so if and when I forgo the retal fee and buy my own gateway/modem I may be right back here where I started.
Till then...
Thx!
Hi OldPCGuy,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly check this article and this might help you to verify if the gateway is properly set to bridge mode.

The Gateway is in bridge mode; network is up; I have access to the internet; but....
I can't access the FVS318 GUI/Web page 192.168.1.1. I also can't acces the Gateway GUI/Web page 10.0.0.1. When I make a couple attempts I loose the internet connection as if somthing times out and drops the connection entirely.
And the only way I can get the gateway and FVS318 to talk is to turn on the FVS first and let is assign IP's to all the network devices then turn on the Gateway; wait 15-20 minutes then the internet connection is back.
Frustrating; this FW should be plug and play as a simple router.
- OK I stand corrected. GUI/web pages are now accessible for both the Gateway, and FVS318 FW. I'm not used to modems and routers taking so long to do their thing. :(
Hi OldPCGuy,
I am glad that you are now able to access the web-GUI of both of your gateway and the FVS318Gv2. :) Hope that the internet connection is working fine.

NETGEAR Community Team- Down again. :( :( ... two wasted weekends on this thing! I disconnected he FVS318 to re-route some Ethernet cables and it would not come back up no matter what re-start order I tried. The best I could do is ping netgear.com from the GUI. No internet, no gateway GUI. Why won't the FVS318Gv2 connect to the Technicolor TC8717C in bridge mode? I have a GS108Ev3 (8 port switch) and it works with the gateway in non-bridge mode.
