16.1 Legacy Series / WAN problems
« on: June 25, 2016, 03:31:27 pm »
Having signed up with a new ISP, naturally I want to keep using my OPNsense router.
I am used to setting up PPPoE but this time I've been provided with a VDSL modem+router combo device that connects using "Dynamic IP" in the TP-Link gui. I'm assuming this is referring to DHCP as it doesn't require any configuration.
My difficulties start when I attempt to put the modem+router in bridge mode so I can let my OPNsense box do the routing. Neither my OPNsense nor other directly attached devices get an IP address when I connect to the bridging modem.
Is there something I'm missing here? Do I have another option to set up my network without double NAT?
