Hello so I currently have my ubee ddw36c in "Primary network bridged" but once I connected my Net gear N300 WNR2000v2 It doesn't connect to the internet. Tried power cycling and switching Ethernet cord around etc. Here's my setup: Ethernet cord is connected to the first port for the combo, then I have it connected to the internet port on my router, last cord is connected from my pc to the 1st Ethernet port of the router. Could anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
 
Solution
It depends on the ISP. Sometimes leaving the modem turned off overnight resets it. The simple thing is to call the ISP and tell them you changed routers and need a reset on your line.

No, I only have my router connected to the bridged combo right now. Does it have something to do with DHCP?

BEFORE the router did you have a PC directly connected? If so, the ISP may have that MAC address associated with your line. Or even changing from a normal combo modem/router to a bridged config, might require a reset by your ISP.

Yea I actually did connect my PC to the combo before. Will I have to give my ISP a call or can I fix it myself?

How long would be overnight? I didn't have time talking to my ISP today but maybe I'll give them a call tomorrow.
UPDATE: Called and they fixed the issue, thanks kanewolf.
