IP Address is not available

(1/3) > >>

Knighty2k:
I have Netgear Router MR 814 v2 connected to Motorola Cable Modem (WAN), OBi 110 (Local LAN 3), Desktop (Local LAN 4). WAN, Local LAN 3 & 4 are blinking green. Desktop has internet access. Obi 110 has two flashing green (The OBi is looking for DHCP IP address & there is data activity on the OBi Ethernet port).

***1 "Basic Network Status: Your IP Address is not available, Your DHCP is enabled"
***2 "Advanced Network Status: Your Primary DNS Server is not available. Your backup DNS Server is your primary....."
***3 "DHCP current value is enabled. Press 1 to enter new value. Press 2 to set default value"
***4  "IP Address current value is not available Press 1 to enter new value. Press 2 to set default value"

My OBi 110 doesn't get IP address. Please help

There have been a few problems with a few routers.  You might try connecting the OBi directly to your cable modem to see if it's able to get an IP address via DHCP there.  Reboot both the cable modem and the OBi after making the connection.  If you're successful getting an IP address (***1), then update your OBi's firmware using ***6.  Then try reconnecting through your router and see if things are any better.

Hi,

You might try forcing an IP on the OBi using the phone. See this thread. Step 1 of 4 forces an IP onto the OBi.

Although without DHCP, I'm not certain about the results.

Got IP address for OBi 174.97.220.120. ***6 gives me invalid option error. Didn't find steps to update firmware in Admin Guide (except web based update on page 31, which I can't do w/o router connected at same time). Still doesn't work after reconnecting through router.

That's very good.  That says your OBi is operational and the problem is most likely a compatibility issue with your router.

***6 gives me invalid option error.

Oops!   A chicken and egg problem here.   :)

The ***6 update feature wasn't added until recently, so you can't use it until you get updated.

It's covered on page 31, but you still need to get access to the OBi first.

Do you have another router you could substitute temporarily, or another LAN you could temporariliy connect the OBi to long enough to do a firmware update?
