friend loaned me his gl-inet mt6000 to use until I get a new modem...one problem

[etrin]

I got it up and running with my only attachment was an opnsense box for wan and 1 computer attached to the lan.
No problems until I plugged in another device...I couldn't see it 1 device attached
I tried my computer in every port and it connected no problem. So let me try a NAS...nothing
I tried everything I could think of and nothing. ok DHCP problems...no its set up. no problems assigning an ip to the computer
one of their techs that didn't have much of a grasp of english said check the firewall
I am not expert with firewalls in this thing it has allow on lan
So maybe something else...
at that time he never replied to anything else maybe a time zone thing. I have to make a decision on a new router and give this thing back I was just hoping a simple setup to give me a few days to decide on a new router.

Has anyone got any ideas on what might be causing this? I tried 2.4 ghz with my phone and it got in and received an IP
and shows up as the second device. I tried a tablet same thing got an ip but anything on hard wired lan can't get anything from the dhcp server.
I drug my reolink security device in and plugged it into my old asus router and bing IP listed as device in dhcp.. plugged it into this device thru lan and nothing

Did you do a factory reset before you started using it? See: https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/interface_guide/reset_firmware/.
After reset, do a manual configure. Note that if your NAS uses a static IP address you will need to modify the DHCP settings og the router to not interfere with the NAS IP address.
Did the "friend" have any clients plugged into the Ethernet ports? Many folks just use the WIFI and there could be a problem with the router that was never discovered

this is new. He got it to use as an entender of something. So I was the first use. I hard reset it anyway before updating it to latest firmware thinking may its a patched issue. Set it up and everything seems to be fine but it just allows one hard wired ip from the dhcp. Its ok I am seeing him tomorrow to give it back. I bet he will try and get it to run, if not he can return it. I know he will get a kick if it works and he will slam me for not seeing it LOL

So, out of curiosity, how do you have it set up in relation to the opensense box? An opensense firewall plugged into modem/ONT/PON is usually going to act as a firewall, so you'd then only need the router set up as an access point!
