FVG318 - Multiple issues
This device has only been serving as a wireless access point connected to our internal LAN through a LAN port, with a static LAN IP and correct subnet mask. It was working up until a few weeks ago...
Interesting. I have the same issue with my FVG318 (v1, I believe). I've had intermittent network connectivity problems in the past through the FVG, but no connectivity issues from either my 'nix box (currently Ubuntu) or my windoze laptop when directly connected to the cable modem.
The most readily identifiable symptom is that the WAN has dropped, and attempting to reconnect the WAN fails to generate a new lease.
The time is fouled (most recently reporting either a date in 2001 or in 1992), and I had a feeling that the time error was preventing the firewall from reconnecting to my isp.
My question is: is there a way to manually set the time so I can sync up?
I tried the following without success:
(1) power cycling the FVG318
(2) power cycling the modem, followed by (1)
(3) changing the NTP servers to two of the us.pool.ntp.org servers (by name, not by IP) followed by Steps (2) and (1). Waiting all day (8 hours +/-) didn't fix the issue.
Is there a way to telnet into the FVG318 and manually set the time so that I can square away the WAN connection issue?
Cheers,
Charley
