Hello,
I set my new 1010s up out of the box, and immediately configured it to connect wirelessly to my router. This worked first time without any issues and I was able to use all the on demand services without any issues.
A couple of days later when i turned my box on, I found it was not connected to WiFi, and when I tried to connect I was asked to re-enter the PW.
After some testing, I have found that if the WiFi connection is ever lost for some reason then the 1010s will ask me to re-enter the PW before it connects.
Any ideas why this may be?
No it’s not hidden. When i have to reconnect to the network it sees my SSID in the scan list
I have approx 6-7 other wifi devices (Android, Ipad, internet radio, PCs/Laptops) none of which have this issue.
On your router can you see what the DHCP lease period is and if so can you change it?
Thanks for the suggestion, I will try this when I get home.
I would not have thought though that the DHCP lease timer would cause the 1010s to seemingly “forget” the WPA2 password and force me to re-enter it every time it reconnects.
Nonetheless, I will try hard-coding an IP address to the 1010s in the router DHCP config and see if that improves things.
Yes, try setting a static IP address for your Humax Box. This usually resolves any issues of password if the connection is dropped for any reason.
Assigning a permanent IP to the 1010s on my router’s DHCP config appears to have fixed the issue, thanks for the suggestion.
Seems a bit of workaround though, i wonder why the 1010s doesn’t like beinge assigned a different IP each time?

A DHCP lease has a finite lease period, most routers will assign a updated address at 50% of the lease period. I do not know how these units work together however.
