@KingTChoka said in Not receiving WAN IP when connecting to my SHAW modem in bridge mode, thus not able to connect to internet:
"Without more info" - What more info could I provide?
"Does the modem have multiple ports?" - Yup, it has 4, and I've tried plugging the ethernet cable in 2/4, but I guess I can try the other 2.
"Did you try to plug a pc directly into the modem when bridged? Does it get an IP?" - Haven't tried that yet but I will soon. Am I suppose to expect an IP? Why would a PC plugged directly into a bridged modem expect an IP?
Is this cable internet, fiber, other?
What model is the modem?
As said already, DHCP, PPPoE, other?
If cable, you'll have to reboot the modem after changing the directly connected device as they 'record' the mac of that directly connected device.
Usually if bridged, they may only work on port 1.
Alternatively, when bridging, they sometimes need to to enter the MAC of the device you want to receive the IP. Was there a field asking for that when you put it in bridge mode?
Why wouldn't a PC connected get an IP? Whatever you connect to the modem, when bridged, will get the public IP.
