XR500 LAN IP DHCP glitching out
So occasionally (Usually 3-14 days uptime), the router stops assigning LAN IPs. Usually first, I can no longer access the DUMA OS interface from LAN. Then the internet stops working and I can't visit...
No problem, let us know how you get on!
This beta seems to be pretty good from what we've heard so far! Of course if this doesn't seem to be the case for you, you can always downgrade back to whatever worked best for you previously.
Sounds good. When I do the factory reset, should I do it from DUMA OS, or should I do it using the real life button on the router?
- That_GamerYT I usually recommend doing so from the interface if you have access and the button if for some reason you don't
I'm on Traffic Prioritization and I noticed someting new. Whenever I add a rule that's "Basic" or "Advanced" it asks me to choose the traffic type. I'm adding a game so I chose Gaming/Voice. What do the other options do that's different? Also, if I check apply to WAN, will it still apply to my LAN too?
The traffic type specifically applies to QoS over wireless, this doesn't affect wired devices. The wireless standard eseentially includes different priority channels so we take advantage of this for QoS. Apply to WAN appends the priority tags to priority traffic as it goes out the WAN, it's not necessarily measurable whether the next hop will do anything with this priorirty tag, but there's no harm in trying it!
