Didn't see any option to utilize "band steering" or to set all channels to automatic on my end. I contacted support this morning and swapped out modems. We'll see how the 7420 works with the pfSense FW. Re: Issue With Bridged CM And pfSense FW I have an owned Moto MB7420 that I set aside when Cox offered the current modem rent free for two years. Will switch 'em out and go from there. Issue With Bridged CM And pfSense FW My Netgate SG-2220 FW running pfSense gets itspublic IP from a bridged Arris TG1682. Logs suggest connectivity is lost mostly in the earlymorning hours around the time the IP address is renewed. The only way I can restore connectivity is torelease and renew the public IP. I've made some incremental tweaks to the WANDHCP client configuration but so far haven't hit the sweet spot. For those who'vebridged a Cox modem and are using your own firewall, what settings did you have to tweak to make your setup reliable, e.g. add a host name, IPalias or change DHCP protocol timings? Re: Login ID/password for Arris TG1682 in Bridge Mode? FYI: Reset the modem and tried using the same complex password as before. This time, the exclamation point (!) is no longer accepted in the admin password string. Cox must have updated the password requirement recently. Only alphanumeric characters are accepted. I can access the modem via 192.168.100.1 in bridge mode which gets around the pfSense firewall. Re: Login ID/password for Arris TG1682 in Bridge Mode? Did that before and tried again and no joy. Factory reset and a reconfigure back to bridge mode may be my only option. Thanks. Login ID/password for Arris TG1682 in Bridge Mode? Can the TG1682 be logged into when in bridge mode and if so, what are the credentials? I discovered by accident the login IP changed for the TG1682 when in bridge mode. I can get a login prompt at 192.168.100.1 but the default login credentials no longer work and nor does the previous credentials when TG1682 was providing firewall duties. FWIW, an Netgate SG-2220 is firewalling now.
