Netduma Liam Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I don't understand how the R2 could've given you an address from the Xfinity's range if it was connected to it. Sorry to be a pain, could you unplug the WAN from the R2, reboot the R2 then in your command line type 'ipconfig /renew'. See if it still gives you a 10.0.0.x address.

But, before I do that.....what are you considering a reboot? Unplugging, letting it sit for a bit and then plugging it back in? Or holding reset for 30 seconds and then releasing the reset button?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 19, 2021 The former - unplugging, waiting a moment then plugging in again. The latter is a factory reset which you could also try if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shecki Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Problem I’m having now is that the ports that have lan plugged in from PC’s (port 1 and 3) will go solid for about 3 seconds, shut off for about 7 seconds and just repeat this over and over. They never stay solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 20, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 20, 2021 Okay that's odd regarding the ports, is the WiFi active and joinable - even if you don't get internet? If so can you access the interface that way - if not can you do ipconfig there and see whether you see the same results please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motherboards for both of the PC's in this office don't have wifi capabilities. I won't be able to join a wireless network with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not registering a WiFi signal. Neither of the Wifi lights on the R2 are even lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shecki Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Is there a way to just set this thing back to the way it came out of the box? I've tried both unplugging it for a bit and holding the reset down for over 30 seconds....and neither seem to get this router back to working. Still strange though that I run both PC's through it without a problem. I just can't use the DumaOS functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason you still have connectivity is because the R2 is just acting like a switch now, not a router. When do you last remember being able to access the DumaOS interface? Has it started behaving like this after any configuration changes or firmware updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started using it again about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It went into DumaOS the first time I plugged it in and tried to get to the dashboard....and did so successfully. Ever since then, it has just been doing the same thing talked about in this thread.....which is essentially just a switch with no ability to get to the dashboard.

How strange, I don't see why leaving it unplugged for a while would cause that. I don't suppose you remember by any chance what firmware you would've been running at the time? Have you always used the same power adapter you received with the R2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shecki Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 It was updated with the current version the last time it was up and running...able to get to the dashboard. I don't think you guys have changed it in a couple of months, correct? And yes, it's always been the power adapter that came with the unit.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2021 Newest update was this month .205 - could you unplug the WAN/internet cable from the R2 - then set a static IP on the PC: IP - 192.168.77.2 Subnet - 255.255.255.0 Gateway - 192.168.77.1 then see if you can access the interface when just the PC and power are connected.

Again, went through all the steps this morning to try and just get this router to reset back to factory so that I can try and actually use it as it was intended. Hoping to see the light at the end of this tunnel soon. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
