I have attention span issues and called my ISP, waiting now. But I have a suspsicion my dedicated IP may be locked to my old modem. If that's a thing which he's now checking on. _________________

I kind of figured that is what it was after you mentioned modem and not router from ISP (although it can apply to both when a dedicated IP is provisioned). Thanks for the update, glad it is resolved. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

ne too and thx again, one sm point of note. Not that it really matters now, he did say that should have been automatic and why it hadn't been previously thought of right away, and it took me to do it lol _________________

Marked as solved.
This morning, I was going to suggest you clone the old modem MAC address in the DD-WRT router, but then read you had solved it. Glad you solved it, even if it was a bit like pulling teeth at first.

See you in two years then.
One quick question as food for thought, and I may stick around to deal w something else I forgot about. YAMON. Which last I looked, will try again. But didn't want to install.
But food for thought. Have web upgrades ever been discussed via the ddwrt admon area. Or showing available DLs for our respective modems based on current installs via admin which let us dl to our systems from within our routers, if you follow me.
But I suspect that means someone actually maintaining the DB that caused our headache. Which I'd step up for is I'm just managing files.

There is easyddup available to keep up with new releases, although I think there has to be some manual editing or other intervention for it to poll the correct device files - @yoyoma2 can confirm or further explain.
The router database situation is a well-discussed or well-decried point. It has always been the policy after an initial bring-to-the-now update that it only gets updated when a stable across the board build has been determined. This is a tedious task to accomplish, and I have always been of the position of just having it dynamically update to the past 5-10 builds released, but not my decision to make on that. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Virtual hockey stick clink with you, sir @egc. I just posted about that as well as the router database woes
You beat me again
The problem is indeed the router database
Or actually the lack of a stable fork, but that would mean two forks to maintain.
It would be possible if we had a small set of routers to maintain and test but we have not, the strength of so many supported routers is also the weakness.

Ive already annoyed our fearless leader with the router database woes, he would test around 20 devices and update the lot, but obviously hes busy so cant do everything in one go, Im assured this is automated process but needs manual triggering.
If only users would read the disclaimer, if only anyone read anything its quite obvious plastering disclaimers and repeating ad-nauseam doesnt work.

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN FRIENDLY AND FAIR NOTICE 🙂
@MoreBloodWine thanks for the offer, but this updating is locked to company employees.
Ok, so if maintaining is the issue and I said I'd basically sign legal. What's the deal, I'm literally home 247 day trading crypto. But the fact I have far n few between issues it's whatever to me. But u have the offer...
That said, the fact I come here maybe once every few yrs if not dealing w yamon. Ehh, I forget where I was going w this but point is u have an offer to help maintain w me signing legal, if the all binding power of the law isn't enough. Then that begs more questions I'm leaving alone. Have a nice day gentleman.
But if one big important question is or I should say issue is staffing to maintain the database. That ideally you would think you guys would want to hire more people even if I did work pro Bono with a legal document, but hey... each to their own. _________________
As a final thought process, before dealing with usage tracking. If everything for the most part is automatic with a simple manual trigger for the router db downloads as someone said. Then let me ask you this question; Why has nobody set that up on a Cron job yet for say every 30 days at x time ? _________________
