I recently changed my home router and found that my remote RRC will now only connect with the radio RRC by DHCP and not with a static IP. Even though the remote RRC should not require port forwarding, I tried opening up the RRC static IP port and even went so far as to assign it as a DMZ port. Still no good. The DNS and Gateway IPs have stayed the same. DHCP works perfectly but I would like to know why a static IP will not work on my remote RRC.
Can anyone explain this?

It's possible that the new router requires the MAC address of a device in order to assign a fixed IP to it.

John,
That fixed it. Many Tnx!

Judging from the time stamps, it didn't take you long to try it, either!
Hope all is well with the new station setup.
