Hey!
What types of devices are they exactly?
Are they appearing in device manager in DumaOS?
Yes it shows up in Dumas, One is a nest that i may have working again by doing numerous resest, connecting to my cellphone and then after setup of the nest when I disconnected the phone it connected to my wifi and had internet. Odd. The other is DirectTV box,might be the box, but I am more worried as my personal computer also couldn't connect to the internet but is working now.
Is there anything I can check to prevent in the future?
Nest says it is offline again, :(
- Make sure you don't apply any manual network settings on the devices themselves as that may have caused it. Also give them a reserved IP in LAN Settings which should help.
I don't think there is any manual settings except port forward for my ps4, are you saying to port forward on these devices and give them a static IP? Because they do show up in Dumas OS so they are connected to the router but not being supplied a connection.

Another update both devices show up on my dumas OS and it seems that the nest says it is connected but when I got to the app it is offline and directTV won't access internet even when i plug it into my modem directly so I think it is two different issues.
