Paul Maos Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I have performed an update firmare, Rebooted the R2 system and it still shows my PS4 connected via LAN by a Powerline to be offline, even though my ps4 is getting a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 9, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! It's most likely the powerline adapter causing that to happen. If you do a speedtest on the console network settings does it switch to online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Maos Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Thanks for the Welcome! and thank you for the quick support on this. I did a "test internet connection" on the ps4 and it did not show online for me still. is there anything else I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 9, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2021 I think it must be the adapter then, what is the adapter you're using? If you connect via WiFi, does it show the console online/offline accurately? I imagine you can't connect directly via ethernet hence the adapter?

Paul Maos Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Im using a TP Link (TL-PA7020) Ive tried connecting it to wifi, directly with ethernet to the R2 without the Powerline and it still shows the PS4 offline even though it showed a connection on my ps4. Ive also did a hard reset to the powerline and upgraded the firmware, and than rebooted the R2. If also unplugged the R2 for 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 9, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2021 That's odd. What R2 firmware version are you using at the moment? What IP does the PS4 have in its network settings? Is it using manual or automatic network settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Maos Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 The firmware on the R2 3.0.205 I have the ip address on manual on the ps4 set to (192.168.1.4) I have connected the ps4 with automatic settings and still to no avail. both on Wired and Wireless connections I went ahead and also tested another device (LAPTOP) hardwired directly to the R2 and it gave me the same issue where it shows its offline even though I'm connected via LAN and able to use the internet with no issue.

Guest Deng Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I've had this problem and a simple reboot fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Maos Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Thanks Deng! I actually tried that as well thinking it would resolve the issue but unfortunately it did not. Then I thought maybe If I just factory reset the R2 and try again with the whole process it would work, and still to no avail unfortunately.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 9, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2021 What IP address do you use to access the R2? Have you given the laptop manual network settings as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Maos Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Ive changed the IP of the R2 access to 192.168.1.1 and no the laptop has automatic settings as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Powerlines aswell and have no problems with them and R2. A wild guess would be to separate 2.4 and 5GHz wifi networks because that's what is different from my config.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 9, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2021 Could you change the LAN IP back to 77.1 then reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes then see if it shows online please? Not many people change the LAN IP so wondering if that is causing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Maos Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 I changed it back to 77.1 and still to no avail. My PS4 has connection as Im able to log in and play online games. Ive been scratching my head for hours trying to figure this out, but I have no idea at this point what it could be. I've tried to Reboot / Factory Reset / Updated firmware on the R2 and nothing connected to LAN ports on the R2 shows its online, it all says offline even though there is connections to those devices.

If you try to remove the device from Device manager, does it allow you to do so or does it throw an error? If you can, please also then go to the three-line menu in the Network Map and hit 'Resync Cloud'. Reconnect the Playstation and see if it'll then stay online.

Paul Maos Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 It did allow me to remove the PS4 from the Device manager after I powered it off. Once removed, I hit the "resync cloud" feature I went ahead and powered on the PS4, and now its shows on the device manager offline still but as an unknown device. However the PS4 still shows a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 OK, but with the PlayStation powered on it wouldn't let you remove it? If so, it's just an issue with Device manager displaying it incorrectly. We can take a look into that internally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Maos Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 No unfortunately it does not allow me to remove it while its powered on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK cool, I'll see if we can reproduce this internally. Out of interest, could you try giving the Playstation a different device type, such as "Games Console".

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 11, 2021 Are you using any WiFi extenders, APs, switches etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Maos Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 No wifi extenders / APs or switches etc. Only a powerline but that is connected to the PS4 and not to the PC pictured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
