Unreachable Address
Unreachable Address
After I plug my Wifi Attachment, i am able to get on the portal and it functions properly. within 10 minutes the portal
says : Unreachable Address.
Any clue why this may be happening?
Lights are green, if I ping the IP address, it sometimes works, other times I get a dropped connection error.
The Modem is a good 15 feet away with no obstructions...
any and all thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated!

Re: Unreachable Address
It sounds like a port forwarding issue also. When you first log in to the portal it uses the data in the database that your RA sends out. After 5 minutes it refreshes by querying your RA and if the incoming connection is not working you'll see the unreachable address *after* it looks like everything is ok.
As far as the pings..which address are you pinging? If your wifi is truly going online offline, usually upgrading to the 4.x firmware fixes that. But you should be seeing blue blinking lights not green on your wifi when that happens.

Your Reef Angel Wifi Attachment is now configured with the settings provided.

If the blue LED is still blinking, it means that the Reef Angel Wifi Attachment could not connect to your wifi network.
Found router CG3000D
Port 2000 is now being forwarded to 192.168.0.19

Re: Unreachable Address
You need to configure your Router to reserve a specific IP address for your Wifi Attachment's mac address. Otherwise anytime your Wifi attachment loses connection and reconnects or your router resets you will have a new IP address for the wifi attachment. Now port forwarding will be forwarding to the wrong IP.
It's also safest to setup port forwarding manually in your router as well.

Re: Unreachable Address
That is correct as far as port forwarding goes. The issue you are having is the Wifi unit is being assigned random IP addresses. You need to assign a static IP address to the wifi units mac address in your DHCP settings so it will always have the same IP address...

Re: Unreachable Address
It is also referred to as reserving an IP address.. Typically in a DHCP tab or wireless network settings tab where you should see the IP address of all the devices connected.
Re: Unreachable Address
Wifi Utility said my address was : 192.168.0.13
So based on his screen shot is that now static??
This is getting old fast!

Re: Unreachable Address
The first one looks good. The second is for your cable connection leave that one alone.
Re: Unreachable Address
Everything was live for 5 minutes.
Now Green Light is steady, Yellow light is blinking and I see this on the portal:

Re: Unreachable Address
Are you able to connect to your module using the internal ip address and the phone app?

Re: Unreachable Address
yes...
use ip address 192.168.0.13 and port 2000
Also, what happens when you browse that ip address?
