Business Internet Wireless Backup - CDS-9010 stops working even though Fiber is fine

I have Business Fiber and recently ordered the wireless backup for it. I was sent a CDS-9010. I connected the WAN port to the BGW210-700 which connects to the fiber. I then connected my network switch to the CDS-9010 as per the instructions. It worked initially.


Ironically, the backup router appears flaky and so the whole system stopped working. I reset the CDS-9010 and it came back online for about 5 minutes, then went back to not working. It appears to stop providing DNS or stop routing, I am not sure which. The fiber WAN is still working fine and devices connected directly to the BGW210-700 do fine.

I ended up removing the CDS-9010 from the system for now. How do I get a backup internet that will work?

Hey wcahvet,

Considering the 9010 supports a range of services, it might generate logs that can be useful for troubleshooting. Could you check the device logs for any signs of issues or errors?

Have you taken a look at the routing configurations in the CDS-9010 setup?

Check the routing tables and settings to ensure that they are configured correctly.

Also always worth to check if there's a firmware update.

Cheers

If you happen to know the administrator username and password, I could check. They didn't send any of that information with the unit.

As an update, the support people tell me the device is not intended as a failover for your network but just as an additional plan you can use if your network goes down. I'm returning the device and cancelling the backup plan.

We apologize for the way my number comes across on your google/Caller ID. I said more than "business community outreach" and introduced myself. I'm sorry you're not happy with the back-up service, but glad to hear you were able to get assistance. I hope you have a great day!

 

Thank you,
