Workaround for Disconnect Problem - Works for all my and my dealers clients

@ All,

I find this all bizarre.

I do not have any My Cloud Disconnects. It’s been working 35 days without any disconnects.

Mine sleeps, Mine Scans, Mine Copies, from few files to large heaps of files and big files and makes Safepoints at night.

BUT WHAT NOBODY SEEMS TO BE WILLING TO DO of what I have said over and over again.

SET YOUR MYCLOUD TO DHCP and YOUR ROUTER IP RESERVATION in THE DHCP RANGE and try to choose a high upperlevel IP address in the DHCP POOL and force the MY CLOUD to choose that IP address again and again because of 1 day lease. 

 

SO for example IP ADDRESS POOL 192.168.1.100 then make 50 IP Addresses so that is 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150.  Then put the My Cloud on for example 192.168.1.146, or 192.168.1.147, 192.168.1.148, 192.168.1.149  be putting any of those addresses PERMANENT in the DHCP RESERVATION. 

 

Best thing is to put all of your hardware like that. Except a Mananged SWITCH.

 

I hope someone will listen to me NOW !

 

THAT IS IF YOUR ROUTER CAN DO THIS, DO DHCP IP RESERVATION !!!

 

Why not try ? Nobody listens to me.

 

And for heavens sake gimme me kudo’s for that.
