    Hi RoaldOines,

     

    What I meant by bridge mode is disabling the DHCP/router functionality of the gateway and letting it function as modem only (will not give out a private IP [192.168.100.10]).

Hi RoaldOines,

 

I am referring to the boot up of the R6300v2. Does this behavior persist if you have the gateway set to bridge mode?

Hi Dexter,

 

Thanks for the reply. Actually I haven't seen that original behavior (the R6300v2 connecting to the non-routable address on the WAN side) since that one time, so it hasn't persisted. And sorry, I don't know what "bridge mode" is.
