issues with wg1608

Post by ocpilot »

Hello,

I just flashed a new wg1608 with the 3/31 goldenorb firmware. I finally got the modem (rm500q-ae) to show connected and its showing b14. I'm not getting any external ip address when I check the status page.

Also, the dhcp doesn't seem to be working. I'm having to manually set my ip address for my interface. I changed the ip address of the router to 192.168.8.1 but it is not giving me an ip address (my wifi get a 169.254 address)

any ideas?

I would flash it fresh using the firmware recovery method. Then only do the minimum required to get connected to the internet and tested working. Zero other settings changes. Not even the password.
Just system time and modem connection profile default APN is my minimum settings. Thats it.

Once tested working, THEN change IP address of the gateway, wifi SSID, passwords, etc. And only change a few things at a time while saving and applying often.

Then
