Hi folks,
After a long time of issues with Zyxel USG 20 + Technicolor Comcast modem I found out that the modem somehow has an issue with the MAC address of the Zyxel. Other routers works fine and immediately when I connect it to the modem but the Zyxel does not, it just never obtains an IP from the modem.
I set up the Zyxel to use the MAC address of my AirPort Extreme and it immediately started working and has been since. After power outtages or disconnects it works right away too.
Here's the problem, I use the AirPort Extreme as wifi access point but nothing can connect to it now. Joining the wifi fails every time. This has to be because of the same MAC address occuring twice on the network I assume?
Since there are little to no controls in the AirPort Extreme I can not change it's MAC address so I am hoping there is something I can do in the Zyxel that resolves (or ignores) this conflict. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Jay
