I have the same issue here on a new DC112A, it will not issue an IP to one W7 laptop and the attampted wifi connection remains at "unidentified newtwork" & "No internet access". Factory resets & reboots have no effect.
The laptop has always been fine and otherwise continues to connect directly via wifi to the two AC810S and a AC790s along with a number of other devices with no problems whatsoever.
Direct connect cable works OK, it's clearly a wifi related problem.
Very annoying
Hi Wombo24,
Is it the only device that will not grab an IP from the cradle?
What are the devices that works fine with the cradle?
Which Aircard unit connected to the cradle?
Yes its one out of 4 laptops that isn't being issued with an IP. The other 3 other laptops (mix of W7 & W10) work OK as do a couple of Android phones.
I've tried 4 different Aircards in the cradle, 2 x AC810s & 2 x 790s. Same issue.
However the laptop having the issue will establish a wifi connection fine to everything else - all of the above aircards individually, as it will and has reliably for a long time to, numerous other Billion, ZTE, Netcomm & Netgear & Sierra vintage aircards we have here - a total of around 15 devices that continue to work fine with it. It's only the DC112A that refuses to play. It the attached devices screen the DC112A regognises & lists the laptop MAC address but all the other fields have "-----" same as posts above.
If I connect it via ethernet to the DC112A it works OK.
For us we have 4 devices always connected a samsung s5, s6 and 2 brand new gaming laptops.
I run default config on cradle.
I can get all devices to connect to the 5ghz wifi and internet will work fine, but after a while connection stalls out for the mobil phones, the laptop however will still be connected to wifi and the internet.
When loggin to the cradle setup the phones show up in connected device list their just not reciving wifi on their end.
The fix has been for me to remove aircard 810s from cradle and plugg it back in or restart device, still very innoying.
