Re: Frontier DSL + Westell 7500 Bridge Mode = No Internet. Thanks guys.
So it sounds as if my best option is the "release" and then switch to bridge mode just before going to bed? That way, the DHCP would have 8 hrs to assign a new IP?
Thanks again - it was just so easy with my old modem. I literally set it to bridge mode and I was done!  |

kudos:1 | said by magohn:So it sounds as if my best option is the "release" and then switch to bridge mode just before going to bed? Once you release the public ip address you can bridge the westell and the linksys will be able to connect to the internet as soon as you connect it
The linksys internet connection type must be set to automatic/dhcpsaid by magohn:the DHCP would have 8 hrs to assign a new IP? The westell will display how much time remains on it's public ip address
I think frontier uses 2 hours as the lease time |

Sonoma, CA | THANK YOU!!!!
Releasing the connection BEFORE switching to bridge mode did the trick. Immediately, the Linksys picked up the IP and Im back to "normal".
Thanks so much for taking the time to help on this. |
