Network/Obi202 IP address change - Status offline - How to restore config?
BGood:
I just did a major network reconfiguration and powered down everything. Included installation of new router and cable modem. Internet connectivity has been restored, but Obi202 IP address has changed and cannot connect. Dashboard status shows device offline with no SP configuration.
Is there a reconfiguration procedure which will allow the Obi to reconnect and download its prior configuration, but with its new IP address?
Thanks!

Look at the back of the OBi. Did you plug the Ethernet cable into the WAN socket, or the LAN socket?

No, like reaching to catch a hot soldering iron falling off the bench, that is the kind of mistake you learn quickly from and don't make again. Yes, I did the cable in the wrong hole trick yesterday, but now the cable is on the WAN port. I checked just to make sure.
Could it have something to do with the new DHCP address? Or the new router being more stingy with allowing traffic to oddball ports through the firewall?
SteveInWA:
Given that you "just did a major network reconfiguration", it could be anything...bad Ethernet cable, something you misconfigured in your router, etc. Who knows. Do some basic network troubleshooting first.
What do you mean, exactly, by "cannot connect"? Does the OBi get an IP address from your home network's router?
IF you haven't changed any settings from default, then an OBi should simply connect to your local network and obtain an IP address via DHCP, just like any other device you attach to your router. It would have nothing to do with the firewall, since it isn't traversing the WAN at that point.
Pick up the telephone attached to the OBi. Press ***1. It should read out the IP address it obtained. Does that work?
BGood:
Yes, it has an IP address of 10.0.0.150
