Okay guys, here goes.
Obi202, in service for a few years, and this issue seems to come up once every several months.
* Obi will no longer be connected.
* No inbound/outbound calls, not connected to dashboard, only light will be Internet flashing as data packets are sent/received.
* Remains connected to the router (IP Address is allocated DHCP), but Obi itself is not responsive (to the IP address).
* Obi power light turns Red on first boot, cycles to Nothing within a few seconds.
* No other lights on the Obi (only the Ethernet flashing on apparent packet delivery)
The fix is ... well, I have no idea, but here are the things that I wind up doing that eventually make it work.
* Reboot router (repeatedly)
* Disconnect Ethernet between Obi & Router
* Boot Obi, hard reset Obi
* Boot Obi with it disconnected from Router (thought is to let it go through it's reboot cycle without being able to establish an IP address)
* Hard reset Obi while disconnected
* Prolly a few other things
Eventually some combination of the above (or a few things I don't recall doing) wind up resetting it and allowing it to go through an entire boot sequence.
Eventually... but I don't know the cycle process yet.
Hope this helps someone... and if you know what is going on, please post that!
