So I have the most recent firmware on my XR1000, I did a factory reset after the recent firmware update. The problem I have been having lately is that I have my pc which is set to a static ip address via the XR1000, let's say 192.168.1.3 and for some reason the XR1000 will show it offline when in fact it is on and connected until I reboot the XR1000? This happens with other devices on my network as well. I use the XR1000 as a dhcp server and it covers from .51 and up, anything below that I have reserved IE my pc.
My pc is directly plugged into the XR1000, is there something I am missing here?
The switch between online/offline can be very quick so if no traffic is detected it will switch offline. Is it staying offline if you do a speed test for example so it can definitely detect traffic? Do you by any chance turn off your devices and leave them in a standby/instant on mode?
I shutoff my pc when i'm done for the day. Next morning pc is started up and running, but the router does not show it as online. I can run speedtest multiple times, download large files, it does not show up at all.
The other devices you’re using are they in standby? Do you use Wake On LAN for the PC? Double check the other devices on the Device Manager do any of them have the IP that the PC itself says it has?
None of my equipment uses wake on lan or standby mode. I did double check to make sure that the ip is not used anywhere else.I also tried a different IP address just in case, and the same thing happens which is really odd.
Is there something else that would block my pc from being included in the network monitor?
Okay sounds like there was a potential conflict, reboot the PC, then check on the PC what IP it is getting, then set that as static in LAN Settings on the router so it retains the IP it already has, then see if it works.
Okay, so I rebooted the pc, it was given the same ip address (192.168.1.58) ad it was given before I rebooted. Also it shows up as "unnamed device" in the router. I changed the router settings so that that ip became static for this pc. I can no longer see it as online even if I download large files, or even multiple speed tests.
At the end of the day the issue is I need a specific IP address for this pc, and I haven't run into this problem before now, is there a fix for this?
I've not seen this issue happen before so likely a new one introduced with this update so I'll have to pass it onto the team to reproduce and investigate. In the meantime it may be best to downgrade the firmware so that it works as expected while we work on a fix.
Yes you could absolutely do that if you wish to, given you mentioned other devices experience the same issue I thought it may be easier to downgrade instead but yes you could do so on each affected device and it should work just fine - assuming the issue is with the reserving of IPs on the router itself
I did try to assign the ip to the pc directly and deleted it from the router, no luck... If I downgrade I remember there was a setting I had to change in order for the router to run better, the web interface would usually timeout and I think I set something to I think 5? Anyways where can I find the older firmware?
Thank You, I have been on the older firmware since our last message, and the only thing I noticed was just after a week of working the router started getting really slow, meaning when I would log into it to do anything it would give me timeout messages, eventually it would load, but I ended having to reboot to resolve the issue.
