Ive had my Solo2 for a few years now and it has been great. About a month a ago the box lost its LAN connection despite being connected direct to my router with a Cat 5 patch cable as the receiver is within inches of the router.
I have always run Blackhole on the receiver
I rebooted the router and receiver, and checked the settings on the nework interface on Blackhole. I normally use a static IP address for the receiver, but changed the setting to DHCP allowing the router to allocate a free IP address. Although an IP address appears in the receiver network setting interface the green dot does not show the network connection is active and therefore the box receiver does not seem able to connect to any internet service such a You tube, or Kodi.
I then tried flashing the box with version 3.0.9 of Blackhole and set everything up from scratch again but the network connection was not functional.
I got a USB WiFi dongle from eBay and switched the receiver over to a wireless LAN connection to connect to my router and this restored things to normal. I have been using the receiver for a couple of weeks with no problems but today when I switched it on from standby the network connection had failed again and I cannot get it to reconnect via the interface. I have rebooted the router and receiver again and tried to connect the LAN wired and wireless with no luck.
Has anyone any ideas what may be wrong please. I have been messing about with it all day with no success. Im wondering if I should reflash the receiver again but I don't want to for through the hassle of having to search all the satellite positions again.
An help much appreciated
