I've been having some issues with my wifi dropping out lately and was checking some setting on my router. I wanted to be sure that nothing was interfering with the frequency my router was on so I switched it from auto (using channel 6) to a static channel. The RA wifi dropped immediately so I tried a few other channels with no success (including channel 6 that it was on when I started) then set it back to auto. Now my wifi module won't get a DHCP address at all. I was on the 4 firmware and reverted back to the previous version just to see if that was the issue but still no joy. I did a factory reset and re-ran the wifi setup and now I get the results below. It associates and authenticates fine, but fails to get a DHCP address. Any ideas? All other devices on my network connect and get addresses assigned just fine.

Re: WIFI DHCP problem
Oh, and channel 3 is now the correct channel.

Re: WIFI DHCP problem
Thanks for the quick response Roberto! I just jumped on here to post that apparently it was my router causing the problem. Only my PCs recovered from the channel change. Any non-windows device would not re-connect. A hard reset of the router fixed the issue. That's good info on the ver. 4 firmware, might give that a shot again.
