People have reported that the CGNAT address they receive is 100 dot something dot something dot something.Īnyway one of the first things I will do is look to see what kind of IP address I get from the ethernet adapter in bypass mode. Such an IP address is, unfortunately, by definition not a routable IP address. In the Internet discussion groups, people have talked about how maybe the WAN IP address might be a so-called “carrier grade NAT” (“CGNAT”) IP address. Once the bypass mode is turned on, I sort of assume that there will still be a sort of DHCP behavior in the router, and that instead of serving up a NAT LAN IP address, the router will serve up a WAN IP address. ![]() (Do any readers know whether the bypass mode turns off the wifi in the router? If so, please post a comment below.) The extremely sparse online documentation does not say. I sort of assume that this will turn off the wifi in the router. I guess I will never know.Īnyway, the next thing I expect I will try to do once the ethernet adapter shows up and I get it installed is, I will try to turn on the “bypass mode”. Maybe they last an hour, maybe they last 24 hours. In fact I actually do not know how long the DHCP leases last with the DHCP server in this router. You might have wanted to pick how long the DHCP leases last? Nope. You might have wanted to pick which IP addresses are part of the DHCP pool? Nope. As another example you might have wanted to map MAC addresses to particular IP addresses? Nope. The subnet is 192.168.1.x and that is all there is to it. It is not possible, for example, for the user to pick the subnet for the NAT. By this I mean that if I were to connect this ethernet port to, for example, an ethernet switch, I could then connect a dozen or a hundred ethernet clients and they would all receive DCHP IP addresses.Įlon’s idea of providing user control over this router, by the way, is that the user does not need much control. (If any reader has already received one of these ethernet adapters, maybe you can post a comment to say whether it has an ethernet link light or an ethernet activity light.)Īnyway, what I sort of assume is that what I would find if I plug something in at that ethernet jack is that this would be a LAN port, connected to a DHCP server on the NAT of the router. Nor any indication whether there is an ethernet activity light. Nowhere in the very limited online documentation is there any hint or suggestion as to whether there is usual the industry-customary ethernet link light which might for example indicate whether there is an ethernet link and whether it is 10M or 100M or gigabit. Finally, there is an ordinary ethernet jack somewhere on the adapter. Then a cord extends from the ethernet adapter, and it has a plug on the end that is intended to get plugged into the router in the place where the antenna cable was previously plugged in. That plug is really quite long and thick and I gather from discussion group postings that the plug accounts for nearly the entire form factor of the ethernet adapter housing itself. You unplug the antenna cable from the router and plug it into the ethernet adapter. One of the first things will be to try hooking up the ethernet adapter. It is perhaps helpful at this point to discuss some of the things that I hope to find out once the ethernet adapter actually shows up. The supposed shipment date was something like a week ago but even now it has not gotten shipped. ![]() And although the installation kit arrived, and I successfully got the service working, the ethernet adapter has even now not gotten shipped. In the previous post I mentioned that some three weeks ago I ordered my installation kit and the ethernet adapter.
