Hello y'all.

I've got one of those infamously poopoo SuperHub 2s.
For some reason, every few weeks or so - the DHCP craps out on it.

It seems to be related to the ethernet connections, because regardless of whether I reboot, or do a factory reset, it'll only return to a sensible state of allowing normal IP addresses, if I remove the ethernet devices.

So I'll be happily browsing on my desktop (connected via ethernet), then all of a sudden I'll lose connectivity. Disabling and enabling the ethernet card does naff all but return a 169 address. The wireless still broadcasts on both bands, but then I get a similar state of affairs, that dreaded 169 address.

If I remove my ethernet cables, the wireless will spring into life. If I place an ethernet cable back in, it's fine. If I place the other two back in, it's pot luck as to whether it's going to wet the bed or not.

My desktop (Windows) and Xbox are both 1000Mbps ethernet. My telly (Sony Android jobby) is 100Mbps.

All three are connected at the moment without a hitch, but I have no idea when or why it's going to throw its toys out of the pram again.

Can anyone shed any light?
