M4nny Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hi, I purchased the Netduma R2 a couple of months ago and everything has been working fine, I experienced no problems. However this past week my internet has been dropping, at the start it was dropping a few times per day but yesterday morning it stopped working all-together. The power light on the R2 comes on but the internet light just keeps flashing for about 10 - 15 seconds and then turns off and then the same process keeps repeating. I contacted my ISP as I thought it may be an issue on their part but they said there should be no issues so I tried contacting directly to my ISP router and the internet works fine. I had the R2 and my ISP router completely switched off all of last night and all wires detached as I read here on the forum that it may help in solving the issue but unfortunately it did not. I'm unable to access the DumaOS interface, I've tried resetting the R2 whilst holding the reset button for 30 seconds. I have now ran out of options, I have no idea what to do next. Can anyone help?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2021 What is the model of the ISP router exactly? Open Command Prompt on your PC while connected to the R2, type ipconfig and press enter, then post the results here please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2021 Thank you, so the R2 is giving the MAC and IP address within the expected range, what happens when you try to access 192.168.77.1 in the web browser?

I was just out and came back and the R2 had somehow managed to reconnect itself for the first time in the last day and a half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2021 You don't need internet to access the interface so that's an odd message. Can you take a full screenshot of the page including browser showing what you've entered and click on the network so I can see its connected please?

M4nny Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 I've looked in my network and for the ethernet that's connected to the R2 it keeps switching from the status being 'Cable unplugged' to 'Not connected', as the internet light flashes on the R2 this is when it says 'Not connected' but when the light stops flashing it switches to 'Cable unplugged'. I've attached screenshots showing both of this. I've tried using two other ethernet cables and the same issue is still happening. I've also tried connecting the ethernet cable to where my ISP router is connected to the R2 and the same issue was still happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2021 Thanks for that, if you enable WiFi on your MAC does it show the R2 network? If so does that allow you to connect? If not use the password conversion method here and try again http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000117883-i-ve-received-the-r2-but-the-wifi-password-doesn-t-work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4nny Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 It was up for about 40 minutes that time but as soon as I turned my PS5 on it seemed to turn off again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2021 Have you set manual network settings on the PS5? How is it connected exactly? On the Sky hub, set a static/reserved IP for the R2, disable any firewall/security settings and put the IP you set for the R2 in the DMZ. Then reboot the R2 please see if it is more stable after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not changed any settings and it has worked completely fine since I got the R2 so not sure what's happening. I've already disabled all firewall/security settings, disabled wifi on the Sky Hub and also set a static IP for the R2 and put the R2 IP in the DMZ.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2021 Thanks for that, I've omitted where your public IP was showing. I'm assuming the R2 is in port 2 of the sky hub? It is very odd that it keeps going on and off within a few seconds - can you try a new/different ethernet cable to connect the R2 and hub together, also put the R2 in port 3 of the hub please, then post another Sky log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I cannot access the R2 interface at the moment as it is not connecting to my Sky Hub. I’m not sure what else I can try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what else I can try. Could you disconnect the WAN cable entirely from the R2, then unplug the power cable for a few minutes. Plug the power cable back in and then see if you're able to access the interface. You won't have an internet connection obviously, I'm just curious as to whether an issue with the WAN port/side is causing the whole unit to crash.

I had it turned off for 5 minutes and then tried and the internet light just keeps flashing on the R2 and I can't access the interface as it says I do not have internet connection. It's the same results as this post I made yesterday: I've also tried to connect to the R2 via Wi-Fi but it does not appear as an option for me to connect to.

Understood, the reason I asked you to do this with the WAN cable disconnected is because I'm curious as to whether an issue with the WAN port is causing these behaviours.
