When you set up Static IPs on these devices, are you also inputting DNS addresses as well? If so what DNS addresses are you using?
I set the manual IP address on the device. They showed up in Attached Devices list on the RBR web page. I set them outside the DHCP range of the router, so it did not manage them at all. Very odd.
Would be interesting if these specific Apple devices updated software about this time.
This is truly a mystery.
No, nothing updated recently. I watch that pretty closely.
See this picture....on EVERY device having this issue (iPhones, iPad, Mac), the device says it is connected to the network (for me 21BBakerStreet) - yet it's on 5G! I confirmed that with speedtest, which reports it's going against AT&T server (my 5G ISP) vs. Comcast. So it's not device specific.
Is WiFi Private IP address disabled or enabled on the phones and pad?
So Mac isn't connecting to anything? What OSX version is on the Mac?
