Question

Dear all,

I have a working internet connection, where the internet signal from ADSL connection, that goes to a normal TP-LINK router which is connected to a switch and everything works fine.

Now, we would like to replace the TP-Link router with RUT241. I do connect the ethernet cable, that was going to the WAN port of TP-LINK to the WAN Port of RUT241, and the LAN port of RUT241 is connected to the TP-Link Switch.

But there is no internet. The RUT241 with mobile card inserted only does work and has internet access. Is there a description of the steps I need to do? Can you help.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

The logs indicate that the router does register connection to WAN port and sends requests for WAN IP, however, receives no reply.

My assumption is that your ISP has an IP lease bound to the MAC of your previous TP-LINK router network interface, thus I would suggest to contact them and inform about the change of router.

Dear ZygimantasBliu,

Thanks for your feedback. It was really helpful to find the problem faster! We had to change the WAN IP to a correct one, that was given to us by the ISP.

Thanks in advance for your support.
