XR1000v2 running V1.1.0.22
Hi our home network was working well around 09:00 we all went out, on returning we had no WIFI signal, but use devices attached by CT5, no strange entries in the log, so we restarted the router, WIFI...
If you're using the MAC access control then if you have private/random addresses on for the WiFi on individual devices then that will prevent them connecting as the MAC addresses will change each time they connect. Disable MAC access control, then disable the private/random addresses in the specific devices wifi settings, reboot the router then you can set MAC access control again
Our phones are set to use the physical MAC number fixed in the phone so they do not change so always get provided with same IP address
- Without anything in the logs to indicate why it happened it'll be really hard to determine the cause. Monitor it, see if it happens again/how often it happens and see if there is any pattern you can determine e.g. time/day, when a particular service/application is used etc
