Title: OBI 202 kicking other devices off network and cant access my book live
Post by: ArmyPaladin on February 16, 2013, 03:18:57 PM
Hello All,

Just bought a OBI 202 so far I love it, however after installing I noticed I could no longer access my network drive locally, ( my book live) through the windows  7 network tab. My office laptop which is connected to OBI then OBI to router cannot access the drive, but when i switch to wifi it allows.  ( I now have to access via web portal,  ( The drive is connected to my fios actiontec router. I have my office laptop connected to the obi internet slot then the lan slot is wired to the router.  Another problem  I have noticed is when i have the obi connected to the router,  my wife's laptop ( she uses wifi) will disconnect every 3-5 min, and she will have to run the network diagnostic to restart it again. The same thing happens to my office laptop if I switch it to wifi from wired. When I remove the OBI from the network, all is well again. Any advice on the issue would be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you

Sounds like you have no need for the 202's WiFi capability, so disable it.
