RBR 750 router not connecting after spectrum outage (modem eu2251)
Yesterday after the outage my RBR 750 won't connect to the spectrum router therefore without internet. I followed the steps below and still did not help. Please suggest 1.) I did power cycle mode...
I was able to resolve this by switching to ap mode and trying to connect directly to modem and revert back to router mode at which point it started working again. Basically, switching to ap mode and reverting back perhaps force triggered to generate a new ip.
You'll need to check with the ISP to see if there is any special configurations needed if directly connecting the RBR to there modem.
Check to see if Static maybe needed on the RBR instead of DHCP.
Might try this if you have one, put a non managed 1Gb LAN switch in between the modem and RBR. Connect only the modem and RBR to this switch.
If this fails as well, you may need to maybe keep another router in place then configure the RBR for AP mode.
Or use the double NAT condition.

Ok. I power cycle of the modem OFF for one minute Should have triggered that as well. Sounds like some odd handling by the modem.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
