MrWhooz Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Once again my router is not assigning ip addresses. I have tried practically everything and it keeps happening. Can someone please help asap because everyone in my house is tired of me playing with the internet. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted August 10, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted August 10, 2015 Lets start again because we must have missed something as we've been through just about everything. So can you factory reset the duma then set it up without the nighthawk. The reboot the PC you want to connect to it, connecting to the duma wired and turn wifi off on the pc. See what the IP is.

iAmMoDBoX Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've had this problem before with a netgear wireless repeater. It somehow took over assigning IPs, not sure how that even happens. It was before I had my R1 - so the issue might have been something different but I had to make sure that DHCP was turned off on the netgear.

MrWhooz Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I removed the nighthawk but the problem resumes I got it working for like 2 hours. I fogured out that the router isnt assiging false ips, its not assiging ips at all, so the devices try to assign themselves ips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you doing this on a wired device? If you are could you connect a phone to the Netduma and see if that gets a good IP? Is this happening on all devices or just some?

MrWhooz Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Im on the latest firmware, but do you know if i could downgrade and see if im having the same problems? Im on a powerline adapter. This seems to be a problem with every device on the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a device on a network can't find a DHCP server it will self assign itself an ip beginning with 169.xxx. What IP addresses are your devices getting?

MrWhooz Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 192.168.107.1 @Akic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhooz Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Or are you referring to ipv4 address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akic Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 192.168.107.1 @Akic Is the R1 control panel accessible at the default 192.168.88.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhooz Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yes, the lan page is still the same. Havent touched anything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akic Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yes, the lan page is still the same. Havent touched anything there. Ok so that device being assigned 192.168.107.1 is getting that IP from somewhere, it's not a self assigned IP so either there is a DHCP server on the network somewhere or the device itself has been manually configured with an IP address. Is there any other networking device on the network that might be assigning an IP? What is this device that has been assigned 192.168.107.1, can you check its configuration and make sure that it's IP assignment is set to auto (not manual). Also you mention the nighthawk is not on the network, can you make sure it's powered down. It can still assign wireless IPs if it's powered up even if it's not plugged in.

MrWhooz Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I dont think amything else on the network could be assigining ips. The only router i have on the network is the duma. Every device on the network says the 192.168.107.1 as the default gateway when set to automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every device on the network says the 192.168.107.1 as the default gateway when set to automatic. That is really bizarre. I've been doing networking for 15 years and I have never seen that happen, the devices are obviously being given that IP from somewhere but without digging into your network it's pretty hard to diagnose. As a cheap and dirty fix have you tried changing the R1's default IP to 192.168.107.1 so at least the devices are pointing to the correct IP as a default gateway?

MrWhooz Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Do computers assign ips, because thats all i could really think of. Ill try it and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akic Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Do computers assign ips, because thats all i could really think of. Ill try it and see if it works. Servers with DHCP can assign IP addresses and maybe some funky stuff going on if you have a computer with Internet sharing enabled but generally computers wouldn't assign an IP. If the cheap fix doesn't work what I would do is strip everything back to barebones. So turn off wi-fi on the R1 and connect a single PC to it via LAN cable and check results. If you get a correct IP assignments start adding back devices incrementally till things go wrong again and pinpoint the culprit. The family will be even less happy with this course of action I'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted August 11, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted August 11, 2015 The dirty fix didnt work , ill try finding the source of the problem Could you try just setting the Netduma IP back to normal (192.168.88.1) and then doing 'ipconfig' in cmd. Whatever the default gateway is, type that into the browser and see if it takes you anywhere. If it does, can you post a screen shot. Also, you said you are using power line adapters. Could you remove those and connect with a direct wire to the Netduma. It could be interfere with other peoples power line adapters or something like that.

Tgis is getting frustrating Ok - can you check to make sure your wireless adapter has an automatic IP. Could you post a screen shot of the settings for the wireless adapter please.

MrWhooz Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Seems to be working for some devices, and not others. Is there a way i can just give all the things on my network a static ip address from the router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way i can just give all the things on my network a static ip address from the router? Yes, go to Settings >> DHCP Lease and you can set them from there. But is there something specific about the devices that aren't working? E.g are they all wireless, a specific OS, a specific band, all running of power line adapters etc?
