NV+ & Virgin Superhub no connection
Hi I've searched but not really found anything that answers my query.
I've Inherited an NV+ which I've factory reset and had working upstairs on dhcp over a Belkin Powerline adapter. Works fine (if a little slow).
I've moved it downstairs and plugged directly into our virgin superhub in the hope of getting a better speed. However the NV+ doesn't recieve an IP, just defaults to 192.168.168.168. I've played around with a few settings but with no luck. Both devices have the latest firmware and have had factory reset. i've checked via the powerline adapter and on a shared pc ethernet connection. Both times it recieves an IP. and thoughts anyone?
Thanks

- vandermerweMasterWhat is the lan IP address of the superhub?
What is the IP address of the NAS when it gets it from dhcp?
What is the "default gateway" setting on the NAS?
What is the dhcp range?
Are there any other dhcp servers on your lan?
Have you tried a different ethernet cable between the NAS and superhub? - mrmandrillAspirantthe IP of the hub is 192.168.0.1
IP of Nas via powerline is 192.168.0.14
default gateway is 192.168.0.1
range is 192.168.0.2 - 255
no other dhcp
tried 3 different cables - vandermerweMasterCan you see the NAS with raidar when it's connected to the superhub?
Set a static IP address on the NAS and see if you can connect to it.
Is your powerline network connected to the hub by cable?
You have tried a different port on the superhub I presume? - Is the SuperHub being used as a VM Router and Modem combined, or maybe the Hub is solely a VM Modem and a router/switch is involved elsewhere along the line from the SuperHub?
- vandermerweMasterExcept OP says there is no other dhcp server on his lan, assume it is acting as router/switch.
- StephenBGuru - Experienced UserMaybe reboot the SuperHub?
- fastfwdVirtuosoMrmandrill:
If your router's subnet is set to 255.255.255.0, the upper end of the DHCP range should be no higher than 192.168.0.254. It should not be set to .255 because that's a broadcast address. The misconfiguration is probably not causing this particular problem, but it would be a good idea to correct it anyway.
If I were in your position, I'd start with the basics. Remove all but the necessary pieces from the network: Leave your PC connected to the router, but unplug all the other Ethernet cables from the router's LAN ports. Plug the NAS into the router where the powerline adapter used to be. Turn everything off, including the router. Wait a minute, turn on the router, wait a minute, turn on the PC, wait a minute, turn on the NAS. Launch RAIDAR and see whether the NAS has been assigned a good IP address. - mrmandrillAspirant

I've tried a static ip which again only works via the powerline adapter.
I've tried multiports and yes the powerline is wired. - mrmandrillAspirant

Being used in router mode with no other dhcp server on network.
No other wired devices connected, only Wifi - vandermerweMasterThat is very strange. The only difference then is that you have a couple of powerline adapters between the superhub and the NAS when it is upstairs.
Are other devices getting IP addresses while connected directly?
