Title: 855l router and hitron shaw modem
Post by: barneyfife44 on August 11, 2017, 07:24:50 PM
I have had shaw issue me a ip passthrough second ip address, but cant seem to get it to work with my new 855l router. I have set the ip passthrough to port 4 on the hitron modem, but it will not connect to the internet through the 855l. I am quite green on issues like this, so please be gentle :P

Is this IP a dynamic IP address coming thru the ISP modem or Static? If Static, try setting a static configuration on the 855L under Setup/Internet/Connection type to Static. If it's Dynamic from the ISP Modem, DHCP should work as well.

Make sure your connecting a lan cable from port 4 to the WAN or Internet port on the 855L router.
Is there any IP addressing found under Status/Internet on the routers web page?

Wire a LAN cable pc to modems PORT 4 and see if you get internet or an IP address on the PC. I presume if the PC doesn't get anything, then the port or modem isn't configured correctly?

What happens if you put the router on PORT 1?

I presume if the PC doesn't get anything, then the port or modem isn't configured correctly?----------I tried that, and no internet or ip address. If i move the lan cable to  ports 1,2,3, i get internet connection, just not on the port that enable ip passthrough on.

What happens if you put the router on PORT 1? --------------tried using ports 1 and 2 with ip passthrough, nothing

Was on support last night with shaw, and they could not figure it out either. They say they have enabled a 2nd ip address on my account, but still no luck

Thank you

Ok, might ask them about the modem and the configuration of it. I'd make sure the modem supports WAN IP passthrough as well.

Once you get the passthru working with a wired PC, I presume it will work with the router too.

Good Luck.
