Internet connection problem Meteobridge pro. **solved**

Post by zaric »

Hello,
We have a connection issue with our Meteobridge pro, and we didn’t found any solution to our problem.
When we connect the Meteobridge to our router via LAN with the DHCP option, the red LED keeps blinking rapidly
The router assigns an IP address to the Meteobridge but when we search this IP address in an explorer, we don’t have access to the settings, instead we have this message:
Meteobridge Landing Page (FW 1.4)
You got here, because Meteobridge application stack you wanted to access could not be loaded from the Internet. Most common reason for that is a bad network configuration of the Meteobridge device, that keeps the unit in endless fast blinking LED mode. From here you can do one of the following: 1.Wait: May be Meteobridge is still in the process of loading application stack from the Internet and it just needs a bit more time. You can give it a second try by this link
2.Cloud Simulator: You can setup a new network configuration for your device via this configurator in the cloud. You find details how to use this servive in the Meteobridge wiki, here.
3.Back to Defaults: When you have your Meteobridge in a cabled LAN environent with a DHCP server (mostly the router) up and running, you might be able to solve your networking issue by bringing your device back to standard network setup, by pressing the button until LED lights up for the first time. Unit will reboot in standard LAN DHCP client mode.
4.OpenWrt: As OpenWrt is fully operational in your device's flash storage and does not need to load an application stack from the Internet, you can start OpenWrt operation by this link. As OpenWrt is a very complex router setup, this is only recommended for experts, who are familar with OpenWrt and might be able to solve networking issues on that level.

To give you insight what your current networking setup is, you'll find some more networking details below. If you are not that deep into networking, just ignore.

NSLOOKUP:

But when we use the Meteobridge in a different location, and on another line everything works properly, even with another router of the same brand.
When we connect another computer to our router, we have an access to internet
We are located in France, the router is a « Freebox Revolution » and the Meteobridge pro is brand new. A camera system is also connected to the router.

Thank you in advance for your answers

The MB PRO received an IP "192.168.1.20" and a gateway "192.168.1.1" but got a different local DNS "192.168.1.254" which looks odd to me. Most routers combine local DNS and gateway on their IP. I would recommend to do a static setup with 192.168.1.1 as gateway and 8.8.8.8 as DNS.
