Keep getting NETWORK CHANGED message since upgrading to 6.9.0
Yesterday I upgraded the firmware on my RN 316 to the latest firmware 6.9.0. Since upgrading I have noticed that I keep getting the words NETWORK CHANGED on the NAS display which will then change to ...
Thanks for the detailed information. We are now able to duplicate the issue using a Nighthawk S8000 switch. After updating the firmware to the version I mentioned earlier, the problem went away. You can now download 6.9.1-T119 here, and it should resolve the issue. Please confirm if it works for you.
Setting your NAS to a static IP in the same range that your router is giving out adresses will cause that. The router does not know that the NAS has that address, and is also handing it out to your TV.
Using a static IP on the NAS is not really the best way to accomplish having a constant IP. It is better to reserve the address on the router side and let the NAS use DHCP. Doing it that way prevents issues when you upgrade the router if it uses a different address range.
If you cannot reserve an address in your router, then put the static IP well up out from where your router will give out addresses, like 192.168.0.200.
Since you have a NAS with two ethernet ports, you should be able to go in through the one set for DHCP and set the other one up the same. Then go to your router and reserve the IP it already has or some new one. If it's some new one, you'll need to reboot the NAS for it to claim it.
I may not have made it very clear in the opening message, but the tv does NOT have the same IP as the NAS. I allocate static IP's to some of my devices and let some be DHCP. Static IP's are on things like servers, bluray players and tv's and printers. This is because I use certain ranges of IP's for specific device types.
No IP is duplicated anywhere on the network.
This problem has only started since upgrading the firmware. No network infrastructure changes have taken place to cause this, nor has there been any configuration changes on the network. The only change has been the firmware on the server - and that is why I assume that there is an issue with OS 6.9.0.
Per the opening post, I ascertained whether there were any problems with the static IP v DHCP IP allocation and the problem occured regardless of how the IP was allocated.
