WNCE2001 inappropriately providing DHCP connections
I have a new WNCE2001 Wireless Ethernet bridge and have successfully configured it to connect my ethernet-only printer to my home network. This morning, I was unable to get to the internet from my iP...
After one week of running smoothly with 1 device we had the same error again.
All (DHCP-)clients in the network are provided with 192.168.1.251 as the standard gateway and are therefor not able to access the internet because a different IP range is configured.
It seems like the WNCE2001 lost the WLAN-connection somehow or did a reset.
Because when I try to access the internet with a client with the wrong standard gateway I am forwarded to the setup assistant of the WNCE2001.
So it fits the description by wires76.
Firmware V1.0.0.26 - so no chance of updating the firmware version.
The device(s) are not really worth the money with this fault behaviour.
