I've just bought a RS200 to replace my R7800
Interesting ... I've just bought a RS200 to replace my R7800 and I get a very similar problem. I find everything connected to the router loses internet connection but I can still ping the router 192.168.1.1 (same as you) All the router lights stay lit but none of them are flashing showing that there is no WiFi, Internet or wired traffic. It stays in this state for 5 minutes then it reboots itself ... ie. all the white lights go out, the power light turned orange and the router boots. After the normal boot time all the lights come back on and all my devices can access the internet again. I have found a way to 100% recreate the problem. All I need to do is run my BroadBandSpeedChecker App on my phone. This is the Android App version of http://broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk which does a WiFi speed check followed by a Download/Upload speed check. When I start the WiFi check it lasts less than a second before the RS200 is hung. I've opened a support case which has been escalated twice, currently awaiting a call from Level 2 supportRS200 randomly disconnecting
Hello, My RS200 is currently experiencing random disconnects. It's intermittent and last maybe 30seconds - 1m. ISP: Sonic Fiber w/ their modem RS200 router since Feb 2025 w/ firmware V1.0.5.12 When it disconnects, the router leds are still active, no red leds or anything that shows loss of connection all devices (wifi and lan) disconnect I have a ping 8.8.8.8 -t running so it fails during the disconnects I have a ping 192.168.1.1 -t running also, but it continues to ping successfully Troubleshooting performed: called Sonic Fiber and they said no loss of connectivity from their side during the times of disconnects change DNS servers on router side (used google and cloudflare) latest firmware and multiple reboots of the router Router logs, not sure how to read, am i getting attacked? see attachmentWifi range - RS200
Hello, I keep finding things that say I can adjust my WiFi Range, however there is nothing in the router settings page when I log into it from my browser and go to "wireless". It is on the latest firmware. It was also just installed tonight. Works alright otherwise I just don't want or need the WiFi signal reachable from the road. ThanksHP Printer won't connect to WIFI with new Router
I got a new router and everything connects to it except my HP Officejet Pro 8620 Printer. I've tried standard wireless setup and WIFI Protected setup and neither works. It seems like this is a common problem but I'm not see anything that is working for me. Any thoughts? --MichaelIn need of some VPN help please…
Hello to one and all, first of all allow me to apologise because this to most i bet is straightforward but for some reason i just cannot grasp it at all. I purchased the RS200 because i was told you could connect it to a VPN and then all devices which then connect to the RS200 router would thereby automatically also be connected to the VPN meaning that they don’t have to be connected separately. I have tried and tried and to put it bluntly i’m a proud man but i know next to nothing about this sort of stuff and so i’m eating my pride to ask this beautiful community for some much needed help and assistance. I know how to connect to the web url thing and i know where to go to “enable” it (I’ll attach pictures), however i have no idea what i’m doing here…. my VPN is from Surfshark and i’m trying to sort all this out on my iPhone as i don’t have a PC or anything. My aim though is connect the Surfshark thing to the RS200 and then devices such as my television, my mobile, a tablet and other devices would automatically be connected to this VPN especially when it comes to my television, i’m sick of being geo-restricted. I pay for Sky services, tv package and internet, i pay for BRSK (another internet provider) i then pay for Netflix, Disney, Prime along with Sky movies, and then theres times i cannot find a tv show or movie on any streaming platform… that was the main reason behind me buying the RS200. I would genuinely be ever so greatful if anyone at all, can assist me on what the heck i do because truthfully i’ve been at this now for almost 6 weeks and i’ve asked all AI’s and i fail time and time and time again. Either i can’t find what it’s telling me to do or i just don’t understand it with my learning difficulties. Either way, i would be immensely greateful if anyone can help me please. I thank you in advance and if your still reading this, then i apologise for babbling for the last few mins. Thank you in advance (i pray), MECK.
