inability to assign IP number
DHCP?? or .....?
1. A variety of devices always online (with wifi) lose access to the internet while maintaining a wifi connection to the router,
The device shows connected (no internet) and resetting the device may or may not restore the connection. Meanwhile, the router (and a variety of other devices) maintain connection to both.
or
2. Various devices randomly cannot connect or reconnect to the wifi because "no ip is assigned" message received. This happens whether a permanent IP address has been assigned, or DHCP is being used. I have a DHCP range set above 2 or 3 permanent addresses.
Devices connected:
PC Windows 10 (cable or wifi)
2 x PC Windows 8 (wifi)
10" Samsung tablet
2 x 8" Samsung tablets
2 x S8 Samsung phones
Printer
Garmen Scales
Google home hub
3 Google room speakers
Roku
ChromeCast
I've wasted hours reconfiguring, reading help files, resetting, etc.

(I unplugged the additional RE200, in case it was causing the problem)
