I am also pretty sure the WLAN side of the network will allocate duplicate IP addresses to those allocated on the LAN side. However the router has saved the information about the original device and decided it has a static IP address so if you switch that on again it tries to use 192.168.1.65 for two devices at the same time. It then goes into standby or is switched off and the router thinks it's inactive so then another different device starts up and it is also given 192.168.1.65. What seems to happen is a wireless device starts up this gets allocated 192.168.1.65 for example. What is more the devices connected via wireless on the WLAN all have the IP addresses labelled as static whereas the directly connected devices are have the IP address labelled as DHCP - so they are dynamic. Looking at the devices page on the router confutation screen it has shown several devices all with the same IP address. I had previously on other occasions lost sight of the NAS and Linn player and I reckon it is an IP addressing problem. This culminated yesterday with me turning on the wireless of my Android phone, using an app to try and access two devices attached to the network (a Linn DS media player and a NAS) with the app locking up until the router crashed. At first I thought it was because the broadband connection had become unreliable but after further investigation I think its a fault with e router's management of IP address. I have a Thomson router supplied by PlusNet and recently it started to reset itself. ![]()
