Hitron CGN3 (Rogers) and Airport Extreme problem
Hello all,
I've been using a Hitron CGN3 modem/router (from Rogers in Canada) in bridge mode connected to a 2nd generation Apple Airport Extreme router with the Ignite 100 package (100/10) for several months with no problems at all.
I recently bought a used 5th generation Apple Airport Extreme to replace the 2nd generation and for the life of me can't get it to work properly.
I started with a factory reset of the new Airport, and confirmed the latest software update was in place. I removed the old Airport and plugged in the New. I was immediately prompted to upgrade using the same settings which I did. Setup completed and then presented me with a message indicating problems getting an IP from the CGN3
I rebooted the CGN3 - still no IP. I then rebooted the Airport - finally, an IP though after 2-3 minutes of waiting. I did some speed tests on the connection (speedtest.net) and surprised to see both download/upload speeds throttled to just under 10mbps! It seems to be throttled in some manner.
I then did a complete factory reset on the new Airport and setup as new - exact same problem.
Out of interest, I did a factory reset on the old Airport and set as new - no problems at all. Picked up the IP from the CGN3 in seconds and speedtest was showing ~150mbps down/11mbps up.
What is going on here? I've checked every setting I can think of - doesn't make sense. Why would the new(er) router have compatibility issues with the CGN3?
Suggestions?
