DHCP causes Obi to go offline

I can't see any certain explanation for your original observations or for what might have caused things to start working again when you switched back to DHCP.  The only thing you might have done that would cause this is to set the 202 to use a static IP address and *fail* to set the gateway and DNS server to the IP of the netgear router, but I don't think you did that.

Actually, I that's exactly what I did. It's been a while since I've done any new home networking (if it ain't broke don't break it, right?). I thought I remembered that the router just tells the device what the info is and the device can be ignorant of the rest. Thinking this through after my first post, I kinda figured it out; when the Obi survived the DHCP expiry I knew I'd done something wrong originally. Hence the ID10T error  ;)

Thanks for all the replies.
