Hi all

my belkin adsl modem died overnight which was connected to my linksys e4200 router

lucky i have a telecom home gateway HG630b modem spare, so i just unplugged the old belkin and plugged in the telecom unit but i cant seem to get internet with my linksys router

is there some type of setting i need to setup on the telecom unit for my linksys router to work?

thanks

Linksys router won't route if the same subnet is configured on both the WAN and LAN interfaces.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

I'd pick this as being the issue. I'm pretty sure both hand out 192.168.1.0/24 IP ranges by default, so you've got double NAT occurring with the HG630b handing out 192.168.1.0/24 to the Linksys, and the Linksys then handing out 192.168.1.0/24 to devices which causes a clash.

I'm also not aware of the E4200 supporting VLAN tagging on the WAN, so unless you've gone with a UFB ISP that supports untagged UNI, and requested this, it's not going to work with UFB.
