Hi,Firmware Version: V1.0.11.110_10.2.100Mode: Wireless bridge mode Everyday, I shutdown the computer, which is connected to the R7000 via LAN cable, at night and start it in the next day morning. But the computer cannot ping the gateway but is able to reach the R7000 webui each day in the morning.I can ping and access the R7000 webui I have to reboot the R7000 to make the computer to restore connection to the gateway again.This happens few days and it is recurring. Please help.

For example: > > GW (x.x.x.1) - AP (x.x.x.2) ==RF== R7000 (x.x.x.3) ==wired==PC (x.x.x.4)>> Sorry, but that means nothing to me. That's not a "lapse"? I interpreted that as "GW" = GateWay, "AP" = (wireless) Access Point,"==RF==" = Radio (Frequency) connection, "R7000" as the R7000-as-bridge,and "PC" as Personal Computer, with the parenthetical numbers as (LAN)IP addresses. Seemed pretty clear and obvious to me (although exactlywhich ports on the GW and R7000 were not explicitly specified). I'd've carped about this earlier, but I didn't have anything like asolution to offer, and I don't like to carp without having anythinguseful to offer. But, if you want to interpret my reticence asconfirmation of your own wisdom, then you might expect to trigger aPopeye moment. > The point is, [...] I got it. A Web or forum search for terms like: R7000 bridgemight find some similar complaints, but I haven't tried it, and mymemory is imperfect. To me, it sounds like bad firmware, so, lacking any actualinformation, I'd try some popular older version, perhapsV1.0.9.42_10.2.44, or something even older. No bets.

You don't understand and not very helpful. The gateway is not reachable from the computer and it is a router, what more do you want to know?And, I am telling you I shutdown the computer and start it the next day, so I have already answered your "sleep mode" question. If you want to know the nitty-gritty of everything, you should state clearly next time.

  Sequence of events:
  
  The connection is intact
  I shutdown the computer (Night)
  I start the computer (Day)
  The connection is lost
  I reboot the R7000
  The connection is resumed
