I have an issue that just started this morning - of course just as I was supposed to start my own Teams meeting.
First - a little about my setup:
MAX BR2 PRO
Using WAN 1 port as my router’s only LAN trunk because I am remote-powering via PoE
I have been running with this setup since I got this router a couple of months ago, with no issues.
No recent changes made in InControl2, or local router config other than switching priority of WAN connections
This morning I re-arranged WAN priority in preparation for my meeting since I use SpeedFusion for wan-smoothing for Teams/Zoom traffic. Immediately after making the change, I lost connection to the router. I initially rebooted the router and the switch that it is connected to. No change. Upon getting into the Web Admin page (via internet through InControl since it was still connected to WAN), I noticed that the configuration for the use WAN as LAN option was missing (looks reset to default):
Notice in the screenshot above that there is no “being managed by InControl” on this page as is seen on other pages. The device-specific port settings have never been controlled by InControl - and I see no way to be able to do so (this is expected as it is a device-specific configuration)
I configured this again, and immediately saw my other devices show connected in InControl2, but then lost connection again very quickly.
So then I noticed in the event log, each time after I changed the WAN → LAN port config, that InControl comes along behind me to update configs - including the first time today when I changed the WAN priority (this is when the WAN → LAN config gets reset).
You can see in the above screenshot that changing WAN priority is something that I do frequently depending on what I have going on and where I want my traffic going, and as of yesterday, no InControl updates aftwarward - this is new as of this morning. I have made no changes to config in InControl for at least a couple of weeks, so something is new and affecting me in a negative way. Something in InControl now thinks that it has control over my WAN/LAN local port config, and it really shouldn’t. There is no UI that I can find in the router config in InControl to configure this.
What gives?
