Good afternoon!
I know this topic has (somewhat) been beaten to death. I will delete this immediately if someone can point me to another spot where this has already been discussed to the nines. However, after many hours of searching - I can't seem to find the help I need.
I recently (Monday) got forced updated to .13 firmware on the 2000H. I used to use my own Asus router just fine with it before this happened. Now, I just can't seem to get the internet portion of the Asus to work anymore. It's not playing nice with the Actiontec after this update.
Background:
Keep in mind... This could've been setup wrong from the start, and for whatever reason it magically was working. I don't claim to be an expert, and I am only stating what worked for me.
Actiontec WAN was plugged into ASUS WAN. BAM - Internet was live through the Asus. I only had to turn off the wireless radio on the Actiontec and it was working just fine. (Router was IP 192.168.2.1) (Actiontech was 192.168.1.254). My Optik was still going throught the Actiontec. I really didn't have to do anything. Just run the setup on the Asus and it was perfectly fine.
After update:
No matter what I do, it just does not want to discover my internet connection anymore when I run the setup on the Asus. Both routers are working and functioning separately. The Actiontec still is able to to connect to the internet itself, and is functioning as it should.
My question(s):
Any tips on what I can do to correct this? I don't know if it's a setting that's changed somewhere on the Actiontec that's doing this or not. I am not SUPER knowledgeable, so it's hard for me to try and get to the bottom of this. I was reading about bridging the Actiontec in order to make it work. However:
A) Is that something I really need to do? All I want is to use the actiontec as a modem only. If it is, then that's really a drag.
B) If it does need to in fact be bridged. I am confused how it was working before? haha.
C) Help.....PLEASE!
I appreciate you taking the time to read this.
Thanks everyone.
