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...
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?
None of my equipment uses wake on lan or standby mode. I did double check to make sure that the ip is not used anywhere else.I also tried a different IP address just in case, and the same thing happens which is really odd.
Is there something else that would block my pc from being included in the network monitor?
