Sorry guys I was tied up today at the boat I never even logged into boatered to see this activity I had company onboard this afternoon and helped Anchor Management install a wireless remote for his davit in the morning. Then I had to help trouble shoot a bow thruster for another friend. A man that knows anything about electronics is always in demand around a marina
So what is the scoop did we get to the bottom of the issue here or is there still a problem?
Tomorrow being Father's day and the weather looking poor I don't think I will even make to the boat. Mike it you are still at My marina feel free to log onto my WiFi and check the setting if you want to compare. The SSID is obvious and the log in is feeeedme. I don't have me laptop on in the boat for me to log into to check the settings. You can call Hank as well he is probably logged into my WiFi at any given time anyway.
I can't imagine anyway using a Static IP for this application I didn't even think to check that when I set it up we wouldn't have been able to connect at all if that was how it was configured. I know for a fact I used my laptop to log into Hogan's Rogue and then select an Optimum hotspot once Mike entered his info we had access so unless his wireless router is bad which is entirely possible I'm not really sure what the issue is. The true is my home router is having the same issue I need to keep resetting it (power cycling it) to get a working connection. I have a new router in the box but haven't had time to swap it out. I have a bunch of programming to configure it for my business access such as port forwarding and VPN login for my remote employee to have access. There needs to be more hours in a day!

I agree, I see no reason for a static IP being assigned to your router by the access point. The same applies to the DNS servers. Those should be automatically supplied by the access point.
EVERY ACCESS POINT WE USED in America has always been a dynamic IP address. So your router on the WAN side or Wide Area Network should be a client with a dynamic IP address. Your LAN or Local Area Network side could be static so that you can always address it for maintenance or other reasons like changing the password of the admin account, or encryption. If they have supplied a disk with code that you load onto your computer you may not need a static IP address LAN side for the Rogue.
If you have assigned a static IP address, via some panel or menu, go there and reset it. If there is a factory reset function I would at this point use that. Then start over with the rogue plugged directly into your laptop.
I tried to find a manual for the device but was unable to. If you have a link to an online manual for the rogue paste it in here so I can take a look.

Dave, Dan and Kurt thanks we all agree at this point about the IP addressing. I will try and get the downlow on the latest firmware revision of this unit. I tried logging into my dealer portal via my server VPN only to remember my server is down. I don`t live near my office or home in Atlantic County anymore and had a family party to attend. Dan you are darn near 100% correct with the AP(s) delivering the IP and DNS.
Mike it`s entirely possible that the router/AP inside the boat could be the problem. Which version of Windows was the laptop you tried to connect to the ROGUE via the LAN cable or through the switch portion of your router?
Some of the newer versions of Windows 8 and above you need to create any new connection be it a LAN or wireless connection. I`m dismayed that the connection manager is very similar to Windows VISTA.

Guys I`m running 7.54m BETA I do share the weather tab issue Mike is seeing but I`m not dropping access to the Internet going on 3 days now on Xfinity/ Comcast public and home hotspots. Xfinity uses CGN for NAT, my IP and DNS are being assigned by the cable systems AP.

Is it possible you have something else that operates on same frequency? Wireless camera or phone?

On the same channel as what? I set his wireless to channel 6. I'm thinking there is something wrong with his wireless. Hogan was the wireless router new or something you had but weren't using and if so why did you stop using it in the first place?

I re-read this thread, and I do not understand why the connection fails when the Rogue is cabled directly to the computer. This makes me wonder if the Rogue is not providing a DHCP address to the computer, and, if the redistribution router is. It could also be the ethernet adapter is not enabled.
If you get a chance, I'd plug the computer into the Rogue directly and issue the IPCONFIG command from a DOS prompt. I would expect to see the "Ethernet Adapter" heading contain an IPV4 address, subnet mask, and Gateway address. If none are filled out, but wireless works for this computer, perhaps the ethernet adapter on your computer is not enabled. Click on the "open network and sharing" tab on the wireless meter, then left click on "change adapter settings" and check to ensure the LAN port is enabled and not X'd out.
I'd give you some screen shots but I am on W7.
If it is, well, enable it and wait a bit to see if things start behaving when you have the computer connected directly to the Rogue.
By working with the Rogue connected to the computer directly perhaps we can determine if the outages are induced by the second router or some other aspect of the local area network.

Mike call my cell next time you are on the boat. I can walk you through Windows 8 connection manager without having to dive too deep into it. It`s too bad you don't have an older computer running XP checking LAN or WLAN would be duck soup. Dan is 100% correct that we need to split the system to troubleshoot your issue. You should have been able to connect to the ROGUE directly. My cell is 609-377-0022.
Dan the DNS should be coming from the ROGUE I can't see how it could be disabled in Dynamic mode, I had him do a ROGUE system reboot already.

I keep a windows xp or 7 laptop in my truck if I can find time to meet Mike this should be simple to figure out. I used my laptop to configure it when I was there I don't remember having to make any changes on the Rogue I think I defaulted ready to go. I did setup the Wireless router and I remember checking the channel it was set to I remember confirming it was issued an outside IP when I logged into Optimum then Mike logged into him account and I was good to go. I clearly used his WiFi to the hit the web there is no reason it should be dropping all the time. I have a similar problem in my house with a bad router I have to keep reseting it to get online I have been too lazy to swap it out even though I have one to do it.
I don't keep a laptop handy so I have a related question.
My wireless router works fine, strong signal all around but streaming sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
There must be a way to control the rogue via a smartphone (iPhone here).
What's the URL to view the rogue wave settings screen via browser?
I'd like to be able to verify what network I am connected to and switch access points if I need to.
Thanks.
