portal dynamic Ip question
portal dynamic Ip question
I can connect to the portal if i put my current ip or dyndns just fine but when i either update the Reef Angel Wifi Address to a blank field or reset my router to test whether the portal will work again if my ip changes it doesnt work and says unreachable
I dont understand how is it supposed to work if i m using a dynamic ip address and how would it still connect to my controller if my ip changes

Re: portal dynamic Ip question
It takes about 5 minutes for the Portal to receive the latest ip address after you blank it out.
The controller sends data to the portal every 5 minutes. So, the next time the controller communicates with the Portal, it will send your latest ip address and the portal will update the field all by itself.

Reef Angel wifi address: (update)
My reefangelid:
ahmedess
Connection Status:
Unreachable Address

Does that mean the controller is not sending info periodically to your server cause i think that time stamp is when i was connecting using my ip address typed in

Re: portal dynamic Ip question
I don't think your wifi attachment is sending anything to the server:

Re: portal dynamic Ip question
Why is that?
Re: portal dynamic Ip question
Probably because you missed one step on your wifi attachment setup.
You probably used Dave's wifi utility and forgot to click save remote settings button.
Can you try doing that?

portal dynamic Ip question
You can follow my guide to remote wifi setup. My portal works perfectly as long as dyndns has been updated. If you are using dyndns, do you have the updater constantly running?
