Problems: Adding a 3rd Party Router: ASUS RT-BE88U
Good morning all,
I trust that you are well. I would like some guidance, please, on setting up my new router. It has been a while since I've been in the community, and the format has changed quite a bit! So, I've yet to really explore to see if the solution is already posted in another thread - will do that next
Existing Kit:
I have a Superhub 4 (SH-4) with the 1-GB service. Sadly, I am not in the 2,5 area, not that my needs justify the expense. I have logged on and placed the SH-4 into Modem mode, and when I connect to any of the ports directly with the Mac, I can log in via 192.168.100.1 as well as being able to access the 'net. So the SH-4 appears to be working in modem mode; as far as I can tell; oh, yep, the annoying LED strip is in green mode.
ASUS Install:
Yesterday, I connected my new router using the 2.5 WAN port on the Asus, connected to port 1 on the SH-4, and after configuring the router, it seemed to work, the WAN light on the ASUS was lit white-blue and all seemed to be fine and dandy.
I then, after tinkering with something (tbh can't quite recall but I think it was binding two inputs together for my NAS)) and it required a reboot. After which the WAN lignt on the ASUS has been lit up in red, and I am unable to access the 'net. Even after rebooting and a factory reset, the WAN light is nearly always red. A couple of times, it has been white, but I still can't access the internet. The error message from the ASUS suggests a DHCP issue.
I'm back on the SH-4 in router mode currently.
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on what I should try next, to resolve this issue?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
