Hi

Has anyone had issues with the Drayek 2850vn (or other models) randomly not issuing IP addresses over Wi-Fi, forcing Windows to show the "limited connectivity" message? Hard wired connections are ok and it affects all WiFi SSID's that have their own IP range (have 3 set up) and devices that have a fully dynamic IP and those which have had their IP set in the router to static (so it's not a case of running out of IP addresses in the range!).

I can change the wireless channel via a PC that is hard wired (Ethernet) which seems to resolve the issue temporarily (for 12-24 hours) but then the problem re-occurs. A full power cycle of the Draytek appears to solve the problem for several days to 1 month, but it does manifest itself again eventually.

I've had this problem with all versions of firmware since I bought the router 3 years ago (updated to latest version around 1 month ago)

Thanks
