BGW2100-700 does not maintain IP passthrough
Hello,
I am having a very difficult time getting the RG to maintain passing through the public IP to my OPNSense router. To try and simplify my network, I’d disconnected everything except the following:
ONT -> BGW210-700 -> OPNSense WAN port -> OPNSense LAN port to my laptop
All other network appliances, including WiFi router, etc. are unplugged.
I have done a fresh install of OPNSense and a factory reset of the BGW210-700. I have then configured the BGW210-700 as follows:
- Disable both WI-FI Bands
- Change the BGW210-700 network to 192.168.0.1. DHCP server remains on, but is not serving anything.
- Disabled firewall packet filters
- Set IP Passthrough to the MAC address of my OPNSense WAN.
- Rebooted BGW210-700 and then OPNSense.
I’ve been able to see the AT&T public address passed through to my OPNSense but it does not last. Last night it held it for 20 minutes, and then reverted to 0.0.0.0.
Could this be an issue with the BGW210-700? I’ve followed multiple posts and guides on the internet and all that are successful have done what I have done. The OPNSense appliance is a 4 port Protectli device. Brand new.
This is driving me insane.
Thanks.

Set the "Passthrough DHCP Lease" on the IP Passthrough page to something significantly more than 10 minutes... say 2 hours. See if that makes your issue less frequent, if it does not fix it completely.
If you are willing to deal with the (quite small) risk of your "Dynamic" Public Address changing, you can put IP Passthrough in "Manual" and manually assign the Address, Gateway and Netmask parameters to your router's WAN (using the DHCP-obtained values).

Thanks, will try that tonight.
One clarification.. I know how to set the WAN (public IP) address, Gateway, and Netmask on the OPNSense WAN port, but you threw me when you and ‘using DHCP assigned values’. What did you mean by that?
Thanks

I mean the values that you're getting from the DHCP request that are being lost after 10-20 minutes.
