Network/Obi202 IP address change - Status offline - How to restore config?
SteveInWA:
Like I said: it's self-inflicted, caused by all the changes you made to your router. If somebody else wants to spend time with you on this, great.

Steve, thanks for trying to help. Any suggestions for the next step?

In researching this further, it seems there have been a lot of problems with Obihai and specific brands/models of routers. Apart from the broken integration between the Obitalk, Anveo, and RingTo websites, my most recent Obi202 malfunctions seem to be related to switching out Comcast's Arris TG862 cable modem/router combo and installing a Surfboard SB6141 modem and D-Link DIR-615 router. Specifically, Obihai problems with the D-Link DIR-615 have been documented similar to the following link:

If anyone has any suggestions relating to this situation, I would appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thanks.

Seriously: that router was a piece of junk when it was new, and it is over six years old, which is like 120 in "dog years". It had broken firmware that would not work with IP telephony. It belongs in the dumpster with your other old crap. This, and your other issues, are in no way limitations caused by, or the responsibility of, Obihai.
Your only hope is to try to update its firmware to see if they fixed the bug:

If that doesn't work, buy a new router.

If you can't afford a new router, then you can use the OBi 202's own, built-in router, like this:
Cable-->Surfboard cable modem-->OBi 202 WAN port-->OBi LAN port-->D-link router
You would go into the D-link router's settings, and change it to bridge mode, such that it is no longer performing routing functions, just acting as an Ethernet switch and wireless access point. The OBi will act as the gateway router and DHCP server and rudimentary firewall. Do not mess with any DMZ or port forwarding settings.
Just keep in mind that this setup will have relatively poor network throughput, somewhere around 40Mbps, due to the limitations of the OBi and D-link's network hardware.
