No connection

[EA6BF]

Hi guys, back here after sometime.
Just set up the remote station today but can’t get the remote box to connect internet.
Last update was 2025-05-12, so I need to do anything to update dns or anything so I can get it running.? Ports in router are OK but no connection for some reason..

Any help.?  Thanks.

Does the setup connect on the local network?

Did you change the default connection from fixed to DHCP?  Are you connecting to your home network?  How did you configure the RR boxes?   Did you open the necessary ports on the router at the remote site?   Do you have the correct IP address for the remote site?  Did you set up DDNS or a similar FQDN service?

Hi Charles, thanks for your email.
I’m trying to answer all the questions…

No changes at all since last time I used back in May 2025.
I can’t connect to the box on wifi, only by cable through Microbit utility.
No changes in DHCP, remain the same.
I am connecting the box to the router directly with Ethernet cable.
I configured the boxes so they have been working correctly for 2 years now. Set the remote in October every year and dismantle it in May.
Ports are correctly open like in the RRC boxes manual.
IP address is the same, checked that and remains the same.
DDNS can be the problem I think. Looks like it doesn’t connect with remoterig.com, so they don’t get updated, but don’t know how to do it..
I would say is a connection problem.
I changed the router months ago, but since there is a cable connecting the box and the router, I don’t see any issue there, but…. Why can’t I connect to the box via wifi.?

Thanks.
