Some devices not connecting

I have some "dumb" devices that have disconnected from my network overnight and refuse to reconnect (Synology NAS, Ooma Telo, Phillips Hue Bridge, and a few others). Apple and Windows devices connect to Orbi (and Internet) perfectly fine. All devices get addresses from DHCP, except for the NAS.

 

Here's what I've tried with no success:

  • Unplugging cable modem for 15 seconds (before I knew it wasn't that)
  • Unplugging "dumb" network switch for 15 seconds
  • Unplugging Orbi for 30 seconds
  • Downgrading to 2.3.5.30 (this fixed the major problems I had last time I posted, but not today!)
  • Unplugging Orbi for 60 seconds
  • Upgrading back to 2.5.1.8

I am absolutely stumped.

  • After some more investigating, I finally found the problem.

     

    One of my TiVo Minis needed a reboot.
