XR1000 shows pc(s) always offline ?
Hello!
So I have the most recent firmware on my XR1000, I did a factory reset after the recent firmware update. The problem I have been having lately is that I have my pc which is set to a static ip address via the XR1000, let's say 192.168.1.3 and for some reason the XR1000 will show it offline when in fact it is on and connected until I reboot the XR1000? This happens with other devices on my network as well. I use the XR1000 as a dhcp server and it covers from .51 and up, anything below that I have reserved IE my pc.
My pc is directly plugged into the XR1000, is there something I am missing here?
I'd appreciate any help/ideas

- The switch between online/offline can be very quick so if no traffic is detected it will switch offline. Is it staying offline if you do a speed test for example so it can definitely detect traffic? Do you by any chance turn off your devices and leave them in a standby/instant on mode?
I shutoff my pc when i'm done for the day. Next morning pc is started up and running, but the router does not show it as online. I can run speedtest multiple times, download large files, it does not show up at all.
- The other devices you’re using are they in standby? Do you use Wake On LAN for the PC? Double check the other devices on the Device Manager do any of them have the IP that the PC itself says it has?
