Hi Reuben12,

 

Welcome to Community!

Hi James,

 

Yes installed using a computer - can obtain an ip when set to dhcp but I set the adapter with a static address.  Adapter about 8m from the router.

 

Any suggestions?

      Add me to the list of users that this is happening to. WNCE2001 acting like a DHCP server when specifically told NOT TO.
