Can anyone help. I had everything set up and running fine, but after my son rebooted our main hub (I use the wac to extend the Wi-Fi so I can use in my attic room) the previously connected devices all see it but fail to obtain the up address

    Hi, perhaps a conflict IP adresse due to DHCP reservation faulty.

    The reboot perhaps stop IP lease.

    try to assign IP adresse of router LAN port or hub LAN port in a DHCP RESERVATION.

        Hi Juliwade01,

        Have you tried doing a factory reset on your device? Please hold the reset button on the back for 10-15 seconds and let the unit boot all the way up.

        Please let me know if this works for you. :]
