https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Hotspot-600-self-assigned-IP/m-p/2172966#M1238329 <P>About 6 weeks ago I have a perfect set up with 4 hotspots, all cloned and running well. Then it started going wrong for no reason I can figure. I have tried everything, had 2 or 3 calls with BT and even bought a new set - so I have 3 full sets now!</P><P>A small example of the problem: I factory reset 2 H/Ss and the Extender (the duratiions for all resets and links on these devices are not what appears in the instructions so I have to press a lot longer). It all works. I put the 2 H/Ss in different rooms and it works. Then one doesn't and my Mac System Preferences&nbsp; says it has a self-assigned IP (sometime 3 lights are on the H/S, sometimes 2). I swap the H/Ss into different rooms and one works then swap back and a different one works.&nbsp;</P><P>Another example: I get 2 working and try to link to another one to extend the network (I need at least 4 in the house) and one of the originals stops working - self-assigned IP again</P><P>It's crazy</P><P>Please help.</P> Mon, 19 Jul 2021 09:08:43 GMT ianewood 2021-07-19T09:08:43Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Hotspot-600-self-assigned-IP/m-p/2172966#M1238329 <P>About 6 weeks ago I have a perfect set up with 4 hotspots, all cloned and running well.
