Hi everyone
I got my Mi Box from Walmart a month ago, up till yesterday everything was going amazing. I absolutely love this device, but it started behaving strangely today.
My house network is 10.0.1.0/24, I have a DHCP server and all my devices are working perfectly, but today my Mi Box starting getting the IP 10.0.1.254 and stopped getting internet access.
I tried setting a static lease for the Mi Box, but it still got that IP. As a sanity check, I set static leases for other devices and they worked flawlessly. I rebooted the router, and rebooted the Mi Box many times but it still got that same IP and no internet access at all.
I tried setting the Mi Box a static IP, but every time I tried to connect to the network, it said the password was wrong, even though I was already connected to the network when I set the static ip.
Has anyone had this problem? Is it a known issue with a workaround?
Presumably you have reset the mi box to no avail.
Are you sure there isn't something MAC ID related going on on the router, such as assigning IP by MAC ID? If IP on mi box is set to DHCP the mi box is not going to pick .254 on its own. I'd say it is a router issue since that was the first symptom.
