Atem Mini Pro given 169.xx IP
I have an Atem Mini Pro connected via ethernet to an Orbi Satellite but given a 169 IP address. Apologies in advance for my lack of understanding of networking. I am not very technical but below ...

If I just give it an IP address without doing anything on the router, it still doesn't connect to the outside world
When the device is not able to use DHCP to get an IP address, an alternative is to set an IP address on the device itself, probably in that menu where you could turn DHCP on or off. It should be in the same subnet as all of the other IP addresses (usually 192.168.1.x) and should not be part of the DHCP range that the Orbi is set to use. All the parameters have to be set up:
IP 192.168.1.x
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS 192.168.1.1
Once it connects, the MAC address will appear on the Orbi Attached Devices screen.
Thanks CrimpOn , I will see if I can do that.
I would also be tempted to do a "reset" on the Atem. (There's a tiny hole in it somewhere, right?)
