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 acces...
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.
Retired_Member, unfortunately that is how this forum works. A moderator has to approve the included picture. It can take some time for that to happen (they are available now). Some users have special rights and bypass the approval process (I think that with SENSI icon's).
Blanker-2, no, your router is set correctly.
It is the DEVICE that is not right. I thought I saw somewhere else you had shown the W10 IPCONFIG output and there was NO Gateway IP Address on it? That means you are NOT using the AUTO part for the Network Properties and MANUALLY set it, but did not put in a Gateway IP Address.
On my wired W10 PC the shortened cmd output:
Ethernet adapter Ethernet:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::58bf:9e27:bf45:87e8%7
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.30
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1That last line on the one you posted, Default Gateway was BLANK... Needs to have the router IP Address in it.
IrvSp, is absolutely right. Without a default gateway (your local router's ip address) specified in the client's config it will definitely not work.
Thanks and regards

I am not seeing the ipconfig screen shot on this thread, but I agree that the router is set up correctly.
Any truly static IP address (not reserved in the router) does need to have the subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address set to 192.168.1.1. If you do that, then the streaming should work even if the internet is off.
If you are connecting to the NAS via it's hostname, then try connecting with it's IP address instead. Also, if ipv6 is enabled on the NAS, I suggest disabling it.
If the issue still happens after you've done all the things above, then please try disconnecting the router from the internet, and see if you can still access the NAS from the W10 PC. If you can, then the issue is specific to the Dune player.

Yes, all images need to be approved.
I can approve images also, so if you run into a situation where you can't see an image you can PM me with a link to the post. I might not realize that you can't see it, since the forum software always shows me the images (which no hint that they aren't approved).
ipconfig via cmd on my wired win10 machine:
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.51
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1My dune is congured to access the share via ip address. The dune is set to optabin ip address automatically, I will try to assign a static ip to it (in the dune itself) now that I know what gateway and subnet mask to put in there. Should I also remove it from the static assignment from within my router, or it doesn't matter?
I still don't understand why this would work. Why would losing internet cause any of this to not work? Getting this to work is paramount to understanding it and I don't expect people here to spell it out for me when there's tons of info on the web.
Thanks again for the help. I'll report back to see if it worked.
