FWA710 manual missing LAN explanation
The manual has a serious omission that has cost me several hours of frustration. This is what's missing:
The FWA710 has two LAN settings - one for the wireless connection, and another for the wired connection, and they must have different address spaces. Ab factory, the wireless LAN is 192.168.1.x, and the wired LAN is 192.168.2.x. As you can only use the wireless connection to setup the device, you would probably leave that setting as-is. The settings are called 'Interface Groups'; the wireless LAN group is named 'Default', and the Wired is named 'Bridge 1'. To change the wired LAN setting, do the following:
Make sure WiFi is enabled - easiest by power-cycling.
Connect to the device's WiFi and log in
Ignore the LAN setting on the Home screen
Navigate to Network Setting - Home network
Under Interface Group, select Bridge 1
Adjust the LAN settings as you wish, then click Apply

Hi @monse ,
Thank you for sharing information about the FWA710's default Home networking settings and behavior with users.
To know which interface group is for wired connections and which is for wireless connections, user can go to Interface Grouping. It is important to note the Interface Grouping configuration can be customized by the user.
