Pretty much. Router was on latest public fw, I think I once updated it via the app and never factory reset it since then. Perhaps that is all it needed.

Kewl. Good to hear.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡- danielshaw007May 14, 2023AspirantHi again. Been looking at the log on the router today as noticed occasional connected with no Internet messages on my phone.
Every 10 to 30 or so mins there is a line saying "Internet Connected, then my IP and date and time"
Does this indicate the wan keeps dropping and reconnecting ?
Thanks- microchip8May 14, 2023MasterNo. That's a message from a self-test the router does. It probes the connection every X minutes or hours and logs a message.
