I used my Kickstarter Almond+ as a range extender quite happily for a few weeks before it got to the point where the lack of support for my Synology NAS became too annoying and complicated a thing to work around for the other members of the family, but also, critically, it kept dropping internet connection.
So, as part of my "get things working" over Xmas, and with a couple of Z Wave products sat in their boxes, I got the Almond+ out again, plugged it into my ADSL modem/router and get 'No internet connection', or 'Cable Disconnected' messages wherever I go. I think this may have to do with the fact that the incoming LAN port doesn't lock in the ethernet cable, but the green activity light does show if I hold it in place - and I still get the same message.
The same cable from the router works fine when connected to anything else - I had a poke around in the menu items on the touchscreen, but there doesn't seem to be a factory reset option to see if my previous settings are confusing it. I also could not find one of those magic hidden buttons to try and clear its' mind. In either event, because it will not securely hold an incoming LAN cable at all, getting it back to a clean page might be pretty pointless anyway.
Any suggestions?
