R069 - blank screen on WAN Settings?

[ache]

I have just upgraded my Almond+ to R069, and am seeing some strange behaviour. I have enabled the "Access Point" mode.

On the home screen, I see a blank tile for "Internet":


And when I click on that tile, all I see is a blank screen again:


Surely this isn't normal - is it?

How do I configure the access point's IP address? At the moment I can see that it's been allocated an IP address by my DHCP server, but I would like to configure a static IP address. Is this possible?

Thanks for any help.

In Access Point and Range Extender mode you don't have any options for the WAN port, hence why it's blank.

Thanks for the quick reply Lars.

So is the default behaviour for the Almond+ to simply act as a DHCP client (while in Access Point mode)? Is there no way to set a static IP?

Unless I've missed something, that seems rather strange to me - without a static IP, it would be difficult to reliably communicate to the Almond+. Wouldn't that make it difficult for the Almond+ to fulfil its role as a home automation server?
(I am planning to have the Almond+ serve as a wireless access point, while acting as my HA controller for my Z-wave devices.)

Just bumping this up as I would still like some feedback on my questions - or let me know if I should be posting this elsewhere.

Namely:
1. How do we set a static IP for the Almond+ when in Access Point mode?
2. Without a static IP, will the Z-wave functionality all work as expected? (I don't have my Z-wave stuff yet to test it out.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

You'd set up a static lease on your main router.

The home automation end of thing doesn't care about the IP address of the router if you're using our cloud service.
