It has become impossible to manage the router. The routing is working fine otherwise. All clients are being serviced. Indeed, I am using it now to post this. Bandwidth and latency are very good. No i...
I did manage to quickly sneak in an update, so it is now V1.0.4.6. It had the same problem before and after the update.
For the purposes of debugging I completely disconnected the router from anything else, but it still exhibited this behavior. Which struck me as the most odd thing of all. I was logged in using the local login, and it still kicked me out saying it was checking the internet connection. As is the fact that everything else about this router is working fine.
I tried different machines.
One Windows 10, the other Windows 7 (which it is, hooray, not able to update), and Chrombooks. Same issue.
It is also the same issue regardless of how attached: cable or wireless. So the OS really isn't a strong factor here.
Thanks,
Richard.
I forgot to answer the logs: One problem is that I cannot get to them. I will be kicked out before I get there.

You also forgot to answer this one:
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
If you have a modem/router on the network, that could be vying with your WAC124 to manage the network.
Where did the A6200|802.11ac Dual Band WiFi USB Adapter in the footer in your latest message come from?
I thought I did answer that: I completely disconnected the router from the network.
No wires or anything else into it except the PC.Or perhaps I am missing what you are getting at there.
Thanks,
Richard.
I have no idea where that footnote came from. I didn't add it, to my knowledge, but possibly some of these irritating accelerator keys dropped it in there by accident. Ignore it.
Thanks
Richard.
