LB2120 Bridge mode, not passing dynamic IP to router
Hello, I am using the LB2120-100-UKS which i have just received from new and wanted to use the bridge mode with a TL-R470+ load balancing router. I am connecting ADSL via the TL-R470+ with no issues (PPPoE in UK). The LB2120 is working well in both router and bridge mode with a PC (direct connection, no routers or switches, PC just set to obtain address automatically). In router mode, i get an IP in the range of 192.168.5.x as i would expact. In bridge mode, i get the WAN IP which is shown in the mobile 4G status window from the LB2120, so i know the (W10) PC is picking up the dynamic 4G IP address. If i restart the modem, it may (not always) get a new IP and the PC picks this up no issues. When setting the WAN port i intend to use for 4G on my TL-R470+ to "dynamic" the poor thing just sits forever and tries to connect with no success at all, looks like it never receives an address. If i set the "Static" and i enter what i noted from a succesfull PC connection, then the TL-R470+ makes a sucesfull connection to the LB2120 and i get 4G internet. Whats more, the load balancing works, and i get the benefit of the ADSL (slow but unlimited) and the 4G (fast but limited). So i know the system works as i want however i cannot use a static WAN IP on my 4G connection. My carrier, EE, wont offer fixed IP address on the consumer data tariff i have, so every few hours, or after a reboot, i would need to manually find the new IP, default gateway & DNS and update the details on the TL router so it can connect. I can only imagine that the router is getting confused as it "sees" both the 192.168.5.1 of the router admin page and the WAN IP and it cannot pick which to settle onto. Or perhaps it only sees 192.168.5.1 and its waiting on an IP assignment. How can i get around this? Is it a fault with the TL-470+ router, or the LB2120. Posts on other LTE models suggest this issue has been known for some time with any router. I can get it to work with the LB2120 in router mode, and the TL470+ in dynamic (i would probably pick static outside the DHCP pool to avoid conflict) and it gets an IP in the 192.168.5.x range but then double NAT is probably not always a good idea. This does at least mean the LB2120 takes care of the 4G WAN IP by ittself and i dont need to worry about it. Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks, StuartLB2120-100NAS For International Use

I'm having issues with my australian Nighthawk M1 while in France, with a french SIM card and a french LTE provider (Free). After a few hours, randomly, the 4G connexions is lost and it does not come back unless I either reboot the routeur, or simply change any of the cellular connectivity settings. I'm near Paris, near the antenna and getting nearly 100 Mbps down & 30 Mbps up. So the connectivity is excellent, I don't think it is an issue with the mobile operator as I have severall people around me using the same one with a different 4G modem and getting 100% stable connectivity. It is a real pain as I use this as my main Internet access and it makes the hardware frequently unusable.Best Home Wifi Solution
Hi all, I'm looking for a router which I can connect multiple devices to (up to 10), which can support HD streaming and internet.. the thing is that i'm looking for 4G mobile data soltion rather than cable / fibre / ADSL. I don't want to pay line rental anymore and I don't have any options for fibure to the home and if I weren't paying line rental, I'd be able to get much better speeds but sacrifice on some data allowance. In times of old, I would have looked at small business cisco routers which have USB ports compatible with 4G dongles but I can't seem to find this info on any of the high spec night hawk routers. Am I right in thinking that I'd probably need to purchase a 4G Gateway of sorts which i'd connect with ethernet cable into a router? If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears :) Thanks folks
Netgear Nighthawk M1 drops LTe connection every day and requires multiple reboots
Hi there, Purchased a Nighthawk M1 (MR1100) from Telstra recently. Seems to work well in terms of speed. But a few problems including severe lack of configuration for DHCP (the only item you can configure is DHCP range - there's no fixed host mappings, or any even basic features present in almost every other device on the market. I really hope this is addressed in a future patch or Netgear advise a secret menu to access these basic features as it's really disappointing and lets the router down at the present time). However, it's by far the fastest I've ever tested. Anyway to the main problem. Every day when I come home the device is no longer providing Internet over the connected ethernet cable. I can connect to the modem admin screen fine, and it reports it's connected to the internet (reports LTE connection is fine and has been connected for over a day); however, no devices on the network can use the internet and the only way to solve it is by restarting the MR1100 multiple times eventually it starts routing traffic again. This problem does not occur on any of the other modems I've tested using the same SIM/Service so it's definitely an issue with the MR1100. Something is wrong with the software - need someone from Netgear to sort this out. Also Netgear you need to add the Nighthawk M1 to your model list as I had to assign this ticket against a random unrelated modem as your product list isn't up to date.
