Rogue Wave question

1st separate the internnal router and shut it off.
Connect a laptop to the Rogue Lan port, go to the system reboot.
Reboot and establish a connection to the strongest Optima hotspot.
See if it's stable and properly registered see my post above about registration of a non browser device. Report back after following these steps.
 
This is what I assumed I would try I just haven't had time to deal with it. Now I'm having a couple of issues with my boat so I will be trying to get to the boat a couple of times during the week to work on my boat so maybe we can meet up during the week.
 
I'm really getting to the end of my rope with this thing. When it works, it's great, but it continually cuts out on me and it's a PITA to get it connected again!

Bill, I ran the cable directly into my computer and got NOTHING. I hooked it back up to the router, and after about ten tries, it reconnected. I tried a couple of other hotspots that I have been able to connect to, and it didn't connect to them either.

BTW, I STILL don't get "live weather"
 
Mike sometimes the radio on these things goes bad. Check the connection between the router and the antenna. There should be absolutely no corrosion. Could be a loose wire or other poor connection as well. BTDT.

You could have a defective unit.

it's brand new. I'm starting to think it might be defective.
 
The most convincing part of it would be if the unit behaved poorly everywhere. If it was local to the hotspot you normally used, I would wonder.
 
Mike if you are up at the boat before I get there unplug the feed to the router coming from the wave and plug it directly into you laptop and see if it still gives you trouble. We need to make sure the problem is not your wireless router and that it is truly the wave that is having trouble. The second thing is make sure that you don't need to log into Optimum each time you turn on your computer we need to confirm that the network is recognizing you device as a favorite and allowing it to maintain a connection without needing to log in each time. Once we have these answers the mystery will be solved.
 
I plugged it directly into my computer and got nothing whatsoever. It only works (sporadically) through the router.

I do not have to log into Optimum every time.
 
I don't know the Rogue topology but if it does not have DHCP server enabled you will get issues. One useful trick is to use IPCONFIG from a DOS prompt. It will tell you if you have a local IP address and what the gateway is etc.. Use this from both hardwired to the rouge and your other wifi router.
This is why Bill probably wondered what the affect was if you plugged the Rouge into the lan port of the local router vs. the internet port. The beauty of the Bullet is that I have access to all of the configuration. It can also be the bane of your sanity.

To elaborate:

My Bullet has a fixed IP address of 192.168.69.10 and it is a DHCP server. It port forwards to 192.168.69.11 which is the fixed IP address of my Netgear router. This router uses 192.168.69.10 as the DNS server, and is also a DHCP server but it serves at 192.168.70.* and the Bullet is plugged into the INTERNET port of the Netgear. I can access all of these either remotely from the condo over the internet or the boat locally attached to the Netgear where the webcam is.

Without knowing the topology you have set up this is going to be difficult.
 
I have no clue what you are talking about, Dan.

It would be like me posting about the "rule against perpetuities"
 
Mike call me next time you are on the boat and have sometime to try various steps that will be easier to explain on the phone. In the meantime I`ll call Richard at GeoSat aka Wave and explain what appears to be going on.

Dan the topology hardly ressembles the Bullet 2HP.
As far as the various stages in the ROGUE, it has a 2.4Ghz radio, a firewall where a limited number of what you told Mike to try can be done (in the connections tab) and an Ethernet converter. It should be plug and play even to a hardwired LAN connection on a laptop.
Bill
 
Mike, I hear you. But I had no idea how deep you were into this.
 
Bill, seriously, if it connects to another router and behaves part of the time, it could be as simple as too much wire between the Rouge and the next router. I know ours dies around 25 feet of cat5 but that was with the AIR802. This could be as simple as a bad connection.
If he can plug directly into the Rouge POE adapter and gets nothing that smacks of topology issues. That being the case, I would hit the "BFR" or big red button associated with a factory reset and start over.

In fact, I'd say cable directly to it with a computer and factory reset it. Set it up and stay connected and see how it behaves. If all good then migrate to the next stage of the network but it sounds like all things considered you want to use a LAN port on the next stage instead of the INTERNET port on the next router.
 
Dan 1st the reset button is disabled on all Wave units it does 0 nada. If Mike or the company he bought the unit from has somehow programmed the wrong IP address or DNS it shouldn`t be a static IP, I would almost bet it is not correct, combine that with the newer Windows connection manager fiasco then I can see why he can only connect through the rebroadcast router for various periods of time and not a simple port to port switch or the computers LAN port.
I`ll fire an M2 version with their software tonight through a Cable Alliance Hotspot and tell you what the connections page reads.
He also can not connect to the weather tab this usually indicates no internet connection is being processed, it`s an embedded user selectable tab.
Not saying your wrong but there are too many quirks at this point to say the unit itself and not some peripheral component is intermittent or defective.

Dan rereading your post we actually agree in principal, to reset the unit it must be done by going to the connections tab and clicking on the reboot box.
I just checked my unit and I`m still connected and running fine,I am running Beta version 7.54m the m is for full MIMO on the ROCKET M2. My IP settings are not set to static. I have been connected running packet loops since my last post, I`m connected to an XFINITY hotspot however the Weather tab isn`t working. I need to engage the head engineer at WAVE tomorrow.

Bill
 
Mike can you get me the MAC ID of the ROGUE it's located in the settings tab lower right corner this way I can address your specific unit with Wave WiFi?
E-mail me if possible.
Bill
 
Bill, I'll send it to you tomorrow when I get back on the boat. Thanks
 
Good deal Mike, I'll hold off on the call until I get the MAC ID of your unit. For what it's worth I'm on my modified Rocket-M2 MIMO running the Wave firmware on a Cable Alliance hotspot it's still connected since last night. After I talk to Richard the head engineer if he needs to contact you I will let you know.
 
Mike, I'll be busy this morning but checking e-mail. I have to do an orientation meeting at my new home's association office with my Wife at 9:30AM. This reminds me why I hate HOA's with deed restrictions. Then I'll be off to my old shop and be there by noon. If you can get me the MAC ID I can explain your issue with Wave "Life" (their new name) with their head engineer and get back to you. I have the same problem as you with the Weather Tab no longer working but I am not dropping my internet link from two different Xfinity cable hotspots here in the NJ area. The connection is still up and connected 36 hours later.
