OBi & Network & Homegroup - RESOLVED
SteveInWA:
I dunno about whether or not the OBiTALK portal would override or change the router/bridge setting. I really doubt it, since OBiTALK intentionally doesn't control that setting. Of course, you could try it yourself and find out.
In bridge mode, it should behave just like another switch port. The only caveat would be that both Ethernet ports on the 202 are 100Mb, not gigabit, and that the 202 is going to control its LAN port to prioritize for QoS. Just something to keep in mind with regard to network performance when using the LAN port.
I don't know what the OP's issue was, getting the 202 to work in bridge mode.
Dravial:
That's funny, because I am not sure what my original issue was either, other then everything was not working the way I wanted it (and expected it) too - maybe I hit an improper setting in the web based OBiTalk. I know resetting it resolved it, until I used the web based OBiTalk interface to reset up my account and GV on the OBi202. Therefore at this point I am thinking stay away from the web based OBiTalk interface...
LTN1: It is working perfectly now, you just have to be sure the settings are correct, and know how to find them. (And I think stay away from the OBiTALK Portal...) I also disabled the auto-provisioning as suggested by N7AS in all settings so it cannot revert.
FFS... The internet on the LAN port of the OBi202 just went out again, randomly, I didn't touch a thing... Seriously wth...
I reset the changes I made back to default and reset both OBi and the computer, it is working for now... I hope this is not going to be an on-going game. I prefer RTS to 'Real Time Annoying'...
SteveInWA:
Hence my KISS solution to just use an external switch and don't worry about it. I'm not saying that this is the best answer for everyone, or that the LAN port in the 202 isn't reliable or usable -- I'm just saying: don't bang your head on the table over it, take the non-OCD approach and use a proven alternative.
LTN1:
Dravial...since you are configuring your OBi202 to use the LAN port anyway, would you try putting the configuration back to the original setting of router, turning auto-provisioning on the Obitalk site (wait until it auto-provisions if needed) then try setting it to bridge mode via a telephone handset connected to the OBi202 by inputting this:
To put the OBi into bridge mode, on the attached phone dial ***0, 31#, 1,1#,1
See if that would work any better and let us know.
Dravial:
It is still working fine. And I have not gone back to the Web based OBiTALK portal. I think that may be the problem here, or maybe I missed a reboot, but everything is working fine now - I would suggest to you activating bridge via IVR as mentioned previously, rebooting, then only using the locally based way of adjusting settings via 192.168.xxx.yyy per your routers assignment, and disabling any provisioning per N7AS's direction. In the end this seems to be working fine.
No offense, but I finally have it working and I do not want to be your Guinea Pig. You can always try it and do a factory reset if it fails, here's how: http://www.obihai.com/faq/Troubleshooting-sec/How-to-Factory-Reset
