My SB8200 is connecting to my new router, but is not giving it a new IP address.  How do I activate the external router provision on the modem?

One thing to keep in mind is the SB8200 has 2x ethernet ports. but most ISP’s only support 1 public ip address. meaning only 1 device can be connected to it. 

So try this. 

power off the modem and router for around 10 minutes. 

power the modem back on and give it a couple minutes to fully boot. 

Then connect it back to the router and power the router back on. 

Give it a couple minutes. 

Attempt setup on the router.
