Re: Major issues

Which router are you using? Are you using Smart Connect? How are you determining the NAT status? What is your physical setup?

Re: Major issues

What is the comcast modem? Does it provide WiFi or is it a pure modem? If you give some of the WiFi devices reserved IPs in LAN Settings does that stop them disconnecting?
