_FengShui Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hello all, I have no idea what’s going on with my router but randomly today it just decided to not work. I direct connected my desktop to my modem to see if it was a problem with my ISP but internet works just fine when direct connected. Since I narrowed it down to my router, I’ve tried everything and even rebooted twice and still nothing. Router turns on, devices are able to find it (my desktop is connected to my router directly), and absolutely nothing. Any help or ideas? There seems to be more issues related to his router that what I anticipated (AdBlock not working per device, randomly losing connection, randomly unable to access router, etc) and this promise of a new firmware since launch has yet to arrive. Hoping this wasn’t a big waste of money and time. thanks in advance if any help comes. edit: error I’m getting on the router is that is supposedly “DNS server” related but I’ve already tried changing DNS servers and even opted for the option of upstream DNS and still nothing. And like mentioned prior, I can direct connected to modem just fine, just having issues with router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faulko Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Ill chime in first but you should try a factory reset first, set your stuff up again and see how you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need the internet to go through the setup wizard, what happens when you connect a device to the router via ethernet cable and then access the interface?

_FengShui Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 No solution yet. Internet stared randomly working and now the same thing happened again. This is the 2nd time in 3 days that this has happened and is no one has internet access which is needed working from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any exception to your return policy. I know its from 14 days of arrival but half of that time was used on our older router and conveniently enough towards the end of it is when this router started having problems. Very disappointed in the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need the router to have the power cord plugged in to access dumaos/? I'm still trying to figure my router out. It sounds like the same issue I posted about. I've left it unplugged and in the box for a week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my personal experience I wasn’t able to set it up without an internet connection. In fact, one of the steps for setup was detecting an internet connection and if couldn’t establish one, you could not proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To access the interface you need to either connect to the WiFi or have a device connected to it via an ethernet cable, the router must be plugged into the power. Sorry I'm not understanding what the issue is from the video, you have the one ethernet cable connected to the internet port and the other end connected to your existing modem/router presumably. Have you gone through the setup wizard at all or ever accessed the interface? 11 hours ago, _FengShui said: From my personal experience I wasn’t able to set it up without an internet connection.

When you get to that point, select the option to enter the WAN options manually, you can then skip it. What is your ISP? Do you know if you require PPPoE, VLAN, DHCP identifiers to access the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My router was running fine until a week ago when it started doing what's in the video. It turns on and turns off, as long as I leave it plugged in. I can't access the interface or even have wifi anymore. It's not an issue with my internet or my modem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unplug it for 10 minutes to let the residual power drain then connect to power, does it continue to boot loop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've had it unplugged for a few days. Plugged it in last night and tried everything. Unplugged it again and tried this morning about 30min ago. Same issue.

Then reboot the R2, wait 1 minute for it to boot properly, then reboot the modem, do you get a connection then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it works with one try and other times it works with multiple tries but it usually leads to the same scenario. Randomly, the router will just stop working and I have to do it all over again.
