gamerukali Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I posted the other day in another thread. I have a 2nd router connected for wifi but no longer can get it to connect. If i setup the 2nd router by it self without the R2 it has connection If i setup R2 on its own it has connection but very poor wifi. When i connect R2 and a entrent cable from LAN to 2nd router WAN or LAN i no longer can get the 2nd router to connect to internet This stopped working few days ago vefore that i had no issues. My setup Openreach modem----R2------vodafone I hav again tried to connect to the vodafone WAN and LAN. At the moment i have had to stop using my R2 due to the poor wifi issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2021 A factory reset while it's connected to the R2? Does the R2 give it an IP address in the Device Manager? Are you using Adblocker or Traffic Controller, put a device in the DMZ etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes R2 gives it a IP. No dont use the router adblocker and dont have nothing in DMZ . It has connection but no internet. Like when a do wifi search for example on my mobile it finds the vodafone and it connects but no internet . Usually on the vodafone it has a while light when theres internet but it stays red. Theres no ipv4 connection it says when i go to the vodafone interface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes all household devices see vodafone when doing wifi search, it connects but says no internet. It use to work fine i have no idea why internet wont turn on now when trying to conenct vodafpne router to the R2. On its own they both work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamerukali Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Just now, Netduma Fraser said: Okay so on the Vodafone router you should be able to assign them a reserved/static IP? Im sure i could but i am not having issues with the device being assigned ips and it would be very long process to assign each wifi device its own ip address were looking at 10 plus devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2021 If they're not getting IPs then that is why they aren't getting internet but glad to hear it's all working, some routers are finicky about what order they are booted in so that was likely it, well done for getting it sorted. You're welcome, I'll close the topic, feel free to open another if needed and we'll be happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
