Issue with IP Assignment after Brownout on my XR700
Hello All, Hoping someone will be able to help me out. I have been having an issue with my router for about the past year or so where when there is a brief interruption to the power (say less then ...
What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
We see that sometimes when the router boots up faster than the modem and doesn't pull an IP address from the modem for a while.
Usually it just takes powering them both off for a bit then the modem on for a couple minutes then powering the router on.
Hi plemans,
I have it connected to a Sagemcom Broadband Router (Provided by my ISP) but I have disabled all its Wifi as i am only using it a 4G backup for when the Fiber connection goes down and as a modem.
Kind regards,
David
So that just makes it more complicated.
1. what actual router is it?
2. you also have fibre, so modem/gatway does that have?
3. Is the xr700 connected to both or how do you have that setup?
- Hey plemans,
Yeah we have a weird setup in Aus the fiber connection comes in over copper (fiber to the curb) and comes into a modem which is then connected to the ISP’s router for user creds then it is connected my the XR700.
It is a sagemcom gateway fast
And the XR700 is just connected to the sagemcom- As it is a gateway, set the IP it gives the XR as static/reserved and see if that works.
- When it happens again, reboot the modem, wait 2 minutes then reboot the XR, wait 2 minutes and see if it connects right away. Some modems/routers are picky about the boot order
- Thanks Fraser just tried that as we had another power outage and no joy.
The XR700 came back up but still half the devices will not connect also my computer which is cabled in was being issued a very random IP from the router so it was unable to connect but after another reboot that sorted it. But wifi still having issues.
