Not getting DHCP lease from Netgear LB1120 LTE Modem Bridged

[michmoor]

@mrn in Router mode i suspect the cable modem is giving out a DHCP address in the RFC1918 space which based on your screenshot, pfsense will ignore. Uncheck that option and test again.

@michmoor Believe it or not, it STILL doesn't pull a DHCP lease.

I'm about to return this thing and try something else.

@mrn uncheck the two boxes for the reserved addresses on your WAN page.

@mrn
This is how mine is set up.

My modem is haunted. Which model do you use?

I rebooted the modem, I rebooted pfsense. It just does not work!!

[michmoor]

@mrn
Desperation.
Try another port other than igb3

I also use the Netgear LB1120

@mrn Quit trying to spoof the MAC address.. Not sure why you would need it.

@michmoor

A different port works!!!

Thank you all!

@mrn
nice..
dont know whats going on with igb3 in that case but glad its all sorted.

@michmoor

Yeah could be broken in many ways. I haven't used it for anything else. Thankfully I got another spare port.
