RB50 as AP - No Internet connection despite all devices connecting fine
Hello, I have a RBK50 set as wireless AP and connected to an internet modem Huawei model B715s-23c. (4G modem) The RBR50 is connected via its Internet port (yellow on the back) to the ethernet port...
I actually found the issue and sharing it with the forum in case someone has a similar issue.
My 4G Huawei modem's configuration (model B715s-23c) changed from "IP V4 only" to "IP V4 + IP V6". The change probably happened via a firmware update.
It seems that the netgear was not able to connect with such settings. This was true as well for my Sonos devices. I switched it back to IPV4 Only and everything connected propery include the netgear RBK50. The settings on the modem can be found under the APN entry
I hope this will help other people.
What is the IP address string used by the 4G router? 192.168.1.1 or something different?
Did you configure AP mode on the RBR for Dynamic IP addressing or Static?
