Re: [Wired] BEFSR41 & DSL Modem Out-of-Sync After Power Fails
The modem must be running in a half-bridge mode. When it first powers up it will not have have a Public IP to give out to the router - normally half-bridge modems give out a local IP initially (to aid configuration etc) with short lease time then replace it with the real Public IP when known. It is possible there is a problem with the local LAN IP (conflict with LAN side of router?), router doesn't get a short lease time or it just 'sulks'.
Agree with previous posters, power up the modem first, wait for lights to stabilize then power up the router is a recommended start-up procedure. |
