There was no manual update, so I don't know when which SXS or the SXR was updated. SXS's were added one at a time. I am now trying to force them both into an ip address. They were added from the web page. Running firmware V4.3.3.200 I have now changed the IP address of one of the 2 satellites to 192.168.1.201 and left the other one offline. It seems to be running ok for 2 hours now. Have connected the second one again just now, which now gets IP address 192.168.1.43. Both have backhaul to the SXR80. Will see if it stays stable in the coming hours. Don't know what has happened ...

So you can access the SXS web pages at those new IP addresses correctly?
FW same version as whats on the SXR?

Yes exactly the same. Are both up now and not going down again. Also have separate sets of devices connected, where before i could see the devices of the SXR in the SXS page.
Have a feeling something messed up the mac addresses by which they both registered the same way.
Very strange, since this all happened while just watching tv ...- FURRYe38Nov 04, 2024Guru - Experienced User
Very odd for sure.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
