Re-assigning mac address keeps disrupting wired speaker

Goodmorning,

 

At irregular times my KEF LS50 Wirelsess speakers lose connection. They are wired to the RBR50-sattelite.

Now I noticed that the loss of connection coincides with the log beneath: 192.168.1.10 is assigned (fixed) to my speaker. For no reason at all connection is broken exactly on the times when this happens. It happens in periods of 2-3 hours in a row, with irregular intervals. And during the week maybe one or two days this happens.

I am not an in-depth technical guy so I hope someone has a simple solution to fix this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

René

    Can you please clarify this:  The spec I found on the product web site indicate 2.4G/5G WiFi.  They do not show an ethernet jack.

      Yes indeed, it has a network-port and I connected my speakers to it. Works fine, if not interrupted...

        You are absolutely correct. I found a picture of the back side of the main speaker that clearly shows the RJ45 network jack.

        Does the speaker drop out when connected with WiFi?
