Re: Modem Mode - Can no longer detect WAN IP

If it's been working but now doesn't, something has changed (obviously)! I'm assuming that the SH has good levels and that the connection has no packet loss in router mode?

That being the case either VM have changed something or your router has failed. Try plugging your PC into the SH in modem mode and see if that works. If it does, use the 'Clone MAC' function on the router so that the router's WAN port has the MAC of your PC LAN card and try the router plugged in again...

In modem mode I'd recommend booting the SH first, followed by the router so that the router can acquire a WAN address by DHCP as it starts up...
