Deco X68 Drops LAN when WAN goes offline
Simple: as soon as my ISP goes down, my wired LAN loses all assigned IPs. This means that what should continue working, like local file server/media center access, now becomes dependant on having a live Internet connection. I suspect this has something to do with the "Smart" DHCP feature, as the router is set to connect by Dynamic IP (I can't change this, my ISP requires it) but it also needs to assign IPs locally to my network. Another suspect could be that the Deco is trying to detect an incoming connection on either port, and until it does it treats the wired network as a potential WAN signal. It shouldn't do this unless things are unplugged and plugged back in. This has basically made our local network useless as far as communications go, every time the Internet goes down!
