Some devices connect with no internet

My Android devices and Kindles will connect to the Hub no problem but I get the message "Connected(no internet access". Rebooting the hub (we're on our 3rd with the same problem) connects them with internet but a few hours later, the problem recurs. Rebooting the devices themselves has no effect. They are on 5 GHz by the way. Thanks.

Incidentally, it happens whether I connect to the Hub or the Disc.

First factory reset the hub ( not just reboot) to clear out any stale entries and the turn off MAC randomisation on your devices to prevent the DHCP table filling up again.

Thanks for your reply. It's a brand new router, so there shouldn't be any stale entries (I've checked the hub). There is  no setting to turn off MAC randomisation on either our Honor devices (2 phones, 2 tablets) or our Kindles. Is it all about "trusted devices"? I'm a bit stuck.

I would still factory reset it. The stale connections won't be visible in the hub manager.

Re: Some devices connect with no internet

The most common reason for what's being described is using a second router as a network switch but not turning off its DHCP server—could that be the case here?

No, that isn't the case. I have factory reset the hub by the way, I'll see how it behaves tomorrow - a pain to connect everything, yet again!

Not sure why it's a pain, unless you have changed anything from default everything should just reconnect.
