Can't stream on LAN when internet goes out
Hi guys. Whenever my internet goes out I am unable to stream to my dune media player. The Dune can't find the network share. The files reside on my ReadyNAS so it should not require internet access.
In the LAN setup page, I assign (in the router) static IPs to almost every device. I am using my router as DHCP server with starting IP at 192.168.1.100 and it ends at .254. I use the 1-99 to assign to specific devices.
Any ideas what may be the problem?

Can anyone offer any advice? I wonder if I need to assign a static ip on the dune streamer (like in the dune itself)?

Hi Blanker-2, from your screenshot I cannot see what your default gateway on your local network is. There need to be a such a gateway on the local network otherwise the clients on your LAN cannot find each other (if there is no other gateway conducting this task). So, with no internet you do not seem to have such a gateway and all clients are blinded locally. Normally for this local gateway you specify the ip-address of the router and all is fine.
I do not know that nighthawk router you have, but would look into the LAN-configuration area, where you hopefully can specify the same ip-address of your router as the ip-address for the local gateway.
Good luck with fixing and kind regards
Thanks! So I'll a little bit confused. Screen shots below. Are you saying that I should put the address of #2 into #3?

Sorry, Blanker-2, I only see two triangle symbols instead of the screenshots. Dear netgear mods, can you help to make this visible or advise how the objects need to be pasted to appear visible? Thanks.

I have a different Netgear router and ReadyNAS, but have no similar issue with my Mede8er player. So, perhaps the issue is with the Dune player.
