Crashoverride Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Would there be anyone here willing to go step by step on putting a centurylink actiontec C1000A router into transparent bridging mode and set up the netduma as the router? I've tried several times but when I put the C1000A into the bridge mode I loose the Internet service that goes into it. I thought maybe it's because my PPPOE is disabled on the duma.. Which didn't change anything. So far since I got my netduma all I've done is put the prescribed IP address in the DMZ hosting on the Actiontec C1000A router. Which was fine until we added more gaming consoles in the house and now all NAT type's are moderate or strict. Any and all advise would be greatly appreciated this tech stuff is confusing and Google isn't much help. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crashoverride Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 ya i read that yesterday. was no help. when i apply the transparent bridge ti my ActionC1000A router i loose all access to both the actiontec and netduma. i can still however have access to the netduma wirelessly. after that i have no internet. ive changed ip addresses in my computer like the video ive seen on here but that dont help. im at a total loss. is there info i need to enter into the neduma? ive tried the PPPoE in the settings on the duma but it didnt do anything. basicly when i put my ISP into transparent bridge mode it just dont do anything until i hold the reset button and reset the whole thing.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 20, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 20, 2017 If you reboot the Action, then reboot the R1 30 seconds after are you not able to get an internet connection. Most of the time you just need to reboot after you've done this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashoverride Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 I just tried that. Still no connection to the Internet with the netduma when the Actiontec is in bridge mode. I've unplugged both and still I get nothing. It's like when I put the Actiontec in bridge mode it shuts off all access to the netduma and the Internet.

p00psm00thie Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Nothing else can be plugged into the actiontec but the netduma and it must be port specific. Double check which lan port you're in from the Duma to the actiontec, as well as make sure the Duma is set to dhcp on the wan settings so it will obtain an addressed based on the dumas mac address. The dslam will record your user saved mac and hand an ip across the rfc bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p00psm00thie Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 You may have to give it a few minutes to drop the old mac from the actiontec and renew ip based on your dumas mac. Some have reported having issues with configuring the c1000a with certain browsers. I personally believe it was just a cache issue with their browser but try a few. Chrome, firefox, safari, opera, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashoverride Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yup. The duma is connected to port 1 of the Actiontec. Dhcp is enabled. Both router work fine until I put the Actiontec into transparent bridging mode. Then it's like the Internet switch gets turned off until I factory reset the Actiontec. I've tried entering my ISP credentials into the netduma but nothing happens. Dns is enabled but I can't add anything. I believe the mac ip is enabled also.

Crashoverride Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Good idea. I've only been using Chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p00psm00thie Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Also, I just noticed that link Fraser gave and you mentioned PPPoE, are you sure your service uses a username and password still? You can check and see by look into the c1000a gui at 192.168.0.1? And look at the dsl status is it listed as. PPPoE connection or rfc 1483 dhcp?

Crashoverride Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 I've also waited a few hours with everything set in the bridge mode. I've unplugged both routers several times 30 second's to 1 minute. It just seems there is some sort of block that's not letting the netduma receive the Internet.

Crashoverride Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 It's PPPoE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p00psm00thie Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Don't enable anything with the MAC unless your ISP forces you to use their modem/gateway. Then what you can do is record the MAC for their modem and enable mac spoofing on the Duma and enter the actiontec mac. This will fool their dslam into thinking the hardware is theirs and hand out the ip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p00psm00thie Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 If so then you need to reset both unplug all but your laptop or pc used to config and first record the wan mac address of your actiontec. I will be hexadecimal like E4:8D:8C:xx:xx:xx. Then unplug the laptop and reboot the actiontec with nothing plugged into it but phone lines. Now go to your freshly reset duma, and go straight to MISC, turn on PPPOE and enter your credentials you use normally for the actiontec. Wan ip disabled. WAN mac address enabled and now add the MAC you recorded from the actiontec to this location. IPV6 disabled, mtu auto. APPLY and plug the Duma into the LAN1 of the actiontec and log into the actiontec with laptop on port 2 and set the actiontec to bridge mode, apply and immediately when the actiontec goes through its reboot stage unplug the laptop leaving only the Duma in LAN1.

p00psm00thie Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It depends on your service. If you're getting void or video then you more than likely have tags for vlans on your wan in order to segment the traffic to different subnets to avoid packet collision and video packets from intro to lan packets and vice versa. But you'd have set top boxes from century link etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p00psm00thie Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 If you only have Internet for your home coming out of that modem/router then you are untagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p00psm00thie Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Personally I would contact your provider and ask if they would assist you with the setup, something doesn't add up. All you're doing is turning on bridging in the actiontec and adding in the PPPoE info into the Duma so that it logs in just as the actiontec would.
