Your modem, is it a gateway or just a modem?

@Carl if routers not getting DHCP address try unplugging it for one minute then plug it back up if changed any settings just poke the old reset button and reset what you changed before works every time for me

Just wanted to say 'thanks' as this information came in very handy when setting up the new router. Ultimately, I needed to reach out to my ISP to 'flush' the modem of the earlier router's MAC address. Thank you for the help here. :)

Sometimes a call to the provider is required for them to enter the MAC address of your MODEM. Comcast apparently doesn't trust anyone to simply replace their MODEM.

  @mattattack This is the worst experience I have ever had with a router and I've had many over the years.  Even when plugged in and broadcasting, I can't access it.   This is the second one in a month that has just stopped working.  I've had my isp all over thier end and nothings wrong there.

What is the reason ur product sets off these IP address issues?  IF I ever get this working, I'll never buy another TP link product.  Too many people are reporting this same issue and no firmware fix?  I promise my review will be much clearer than any instructions I've read on how to get past this disaster.

Mattattack is not a TP-Link Employee so you did tag the wrong person.  We can't deduce anything until we have more information regarding your concern.  It would be best to create a wholly new thread specific to your product and to your situation. Please include screenshots and details of what troubleshooting you have done.
