Fonera using bridge mode appears offline on fon.com userzone

[mihaly.reg@…]

 https://www.fon.com/en/userzone/myRouters Your router is offline, please make sure your router is connected or try restarting it

I checked settings > fonspot, is enabled. Checked the switch on the back of router, is ON. Still not "sharing". I have 2.3.6.0, bridge. Private signal is working fine. Public I did not tried to log in, but scan shows that the ssid is visible.

Perhaps this is caused by enabling bridge mode? Could you see what happens when you disable bridge mode for a while?

[mihaly.reg@…]

I could try non-bridge. It can take some time I have this F2 at a remote location. Please defune 'for a while'. 1 day? 1week? Other?

[mihaly.reg@…]

I tried to disable bridge mode and my fon spot is online again. So the problem comes with the bridge.

I'm using bridge mode since 2.3.6.0 and I do not have this problem. Did you check your DNS settings on the fonera?

[mihaly.reg@…]

i have my isp's dns set. And the internet is working fine through wifi. I don't think it's a dns issue.

[matthijs]

I think I have a suspicion what is causing this.

Could you run the following commands and paste the output? See reportbug? on info about running commands and pasting output.

root@Fonera:~# uci export network
root@Fonera:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
root@Fonera:~# route -n

BTW, in bridge mode, your internet working does not necessarily mean that the DNS is set correctly. In bridge mode, you computer will get a DHCP lease (and DNS server address) from your modem, not from the Fonera. The Fonera, on the other hand, will use the DNS address you configured.

[mihaly.reg@…]

Fonera must be using a corrent DNS because Transmission is working fine, and it use tracker's hostnames!

tested today the upgrade to 2.3.6.1. on 2.3.6.0 reset config to default, upgrade to 2.3.6.1 and setup wan with dhcp. on fon.com my router appeared online. then I simply changed the mode to bridge and it goes offline. here are the same commands result on 2.3.6.1:

I stumbled upon this somewhat old ticket. Is this still a problem on 2.3.7.0 beta2? I just had a go at reproducing this problem, but it doesn't seem to happen for me on beta2 (though it could be that the userzone has just not been updated yet). Could you confirm this?

[matthijs]

As part of the upcoming 2.3.7.0 firmware release, we're reviewing old open tickets to see if they are still relevant, which is why you get this response now.

I just powered on a 2.0n in bridge mode and it is shown as online now as expected. Possibly something was fixed on the server end to fix this.

If this issue still occurs with the  2.3.7.0 rc2 firmware, feel free to leave a comment here so we can further investigate.
