Every few days since updating Win to 24H2, I have had some sites become 'unreachable'. The sites that work, and the sites that don't work, are the same. In other words there are two groupings. After 20-30 minutes it comes right. A reboot also fixes it.

 

My other computers, (not 24H2), don't have the problem so I am thinking it can't be the SKY router.

 

This problem isn't being reported on windows web sites. The most recent update mentioned a Network fix that a few people were having but it didn't fix mine!

 

I am not expecting miracles but I am wondering if someone can see any useful info about the works and not works sites. Some examples below.

 

Not works - NAS, Ancestry, My Heritage, BNZ, Geni, SKY, Metlink

 

Works - Google sites, Geekzone, Rabobank, Stuff, You Tube, PBTech, MS Bing, FaceBook

 

TIA

Wi-Fi or Ethernet?

 

And you are absolutely, 100% sure that nothing changed on your router? Firmware update, settings change?

Sorry, Ethernet.

 

I have changed the local DHP lease rang to 192.168.20.10 - 192.168.20.50 and renamed wifi names.

 

I do have the option of switching back to the Orcon router as a trial, though.

Check the version of your ethernet driver? did 24H2 do an update to that?

Your range is only 40 devices. Are you sure you shouldn't be allowing more? Perhaps if fills the range until a device drops out due to timeout.

Interesting. That could explain why I lose the LAN?

 

I will increase the DHCP range.

Possibly. It depends on how many devices you have in your network. Some phones use random MAC addresses every time they connect, causing them to use multiple IPs, unless you change the settings on the phone.

 

You can have up to 255 devices in one LAN segment, more depending on how you configure your network. Why limit to 40?

 

Open your router settings page and see if there's a list of connected devices there.

 

For example, my home LAN has 70 devices listed at the moment.

Ran router diagnostics.

 

Default gateway- pass

 

Primary domain name svr- pass

 

But it pops up a box saying 'IP address or domain name is invalid'.

 

The 'IP/Domain Name' box is blank.

 

Is this a problem? What should be there?

Thanks a lot for your replies.

 

I am leaning towards switching to the Orcon router. That way it will eliminate the SKY router and its settings.
