Hello,

Make sure the firewall on the router is not the issue. Disable it just for troubleshooting purposes.

it is possiable the router has an problem. I have had a couple of router get flaky over the years

since the mycloud works at another location I would take it there ans set a static IP address outside of the DHCP pool on your router. I always suggest a static IP for any network resource as it avoids a lot of issues.
