Re: New Firmware: CLEAR Modem (Series M) I just got the new firmware this morning. The ironic thing is, even though it's a Nokia Siemens based firmware, the modem's are actually not supported by them anymore. They went and sold the Wimax division off to NewNet after buying it from Motorola. lol
Anyways it's awesome to not have double nat, now I don't have to run an extra domain name with dyndns just to view stuff on my server on my network.
However it's a pain to manually assign a static IP to the router, because then you have to change it every time the modem gets a new IP address.  |

Can you expand on that a bit? If the Clear modem is truly a bridge, it won't have a public IP assigned to it. Your own router would receive the public IP from Clear's DHCP server. |

Nope. I'm able to DHCP fine here.

DHCP on your router's interface, not the clear modem, correct? (i.e., true bridging/pass-thru on the Clear modem)

Correct. That's copied from my pfsense box (my router). |

Hi,
I also logged into my Clear Motorola Series M Model Number CPE25725 today and got a bit of a surprise. I was greeted with a Nokia Siemens Networks login page instead of the Motorola page and my password that I previously changed from the default motorola to xxxxxx did not work. I saw from Google that others discovered this too. The nsn default password suggested did not work, but the usual CLEAR123 default did work. Then I discovered the NAT can now be disabled! Go to the "Internet/Internet Protocol" and uncheck the NAT box. That will automatically check the "Enable Automatic binding MAC Address" box which is proper for most users. I left the Motorola's DCHP on but limited it to only 192.168.15.1 to .3. It automatically disables the forwards you might have set as a workaround to the NAT. Set your router for Automatic DHCP if you changed it as a workaround to the NAT issue. The modem now reports the proper IP to DYNDNS and the webcams work without any extra fiddling too.
