MR3020 - not passing DHCP through LAN Bridge

Post by bwerner0919 »

I just received a MR3020 , successfully updated the device to MB FW 1.5.

Successfully configured network settings to place device on WLAN and enable the LAN port as a bridge. I'm able to talk to the MB just fine on the network, and it pulls an address just fine from my main router.

When connecting the AcuRite Hub, the hub no longer connects to the internet. Upon inspection it isn't pulling an IP from DHCP either. The MB isn't seeing the traffic pass through to sniff either.

To confirm this I setup my laptop to the port... thr laptop does not receive a DHCP address through the bridge. However, if I assign a static IP to the laptop, it works fine, with internet access working, etc.. The MB passes all traffic as the bridge should.

What steps should I do to fix this? It doesn't appear to be a MB software issue as I tried rolling back through the other versions without any change. Is it the FW 1.5?

Did you try power-cycling the Acurite Hub when Meteobidge is operating already?
That the unit does not get the IP address via DHCP via the bridge is so far not known.
It works for quite a few users.

I don't think it is a firmware 1.5 issue.

Yes. I've power cycled the hub after it is connected to the bridge. The bridge does show a green check mark next to the AcuRite hub station selection on the station page. But if you look at the live data, nothing. The system page says it gets tired of waiting for sensor data as well.

This is one of the newer 3020's that would have previously bricked on FW 1.4. But since 1.5 was available I didn't return it, I opened it and started the process. All went fine except no data traversing the 3020 out to the internet from the hub. Because it can't get an IP it seems.

Right now I have the hub disconnected from the MB and back on my normal LAN so it can send data to WU and MyAcuRite.

Unfortunately my smarthub has quit, so I cannot test.

I powered up one of my MR3020 with firmware 1.5 and most current Meteobridge application stack, put it in WiFi mode and activated the "bridging", rebooted and connected my web cam to the Ethernet port of the Meteobridge. The cam connects fine to my LAN via the Meteobridge. So I cannot confirm that the bridging feature is not working. It does. Anything special with your setup?
