So you haven't assigned static IP to the Sooloos device? Suggest that you do this as all you have done is reserved the IP address on the DHCP (router) server. Make it the same IP as you assigned on router although TBH you should set it outside of the address pool range of the DHCP server. This makes C15 totally non reliant on router and you can take it out of the direct loop and connect via a separate network switch instead of the switch on the rear of the router. It shouldn't make any difference, but sometimes it does hence suggestion to use an inexpensive basic switch. You may even have a spare switch hidden away in your 'man drawer' wink
