After being on a wireless adapter for awhile, with some changes in my home, hardware, updates, I finally moved the IP-100 to a closer location and hard wired the IP-100 (long range no external receiver) to my NetGear switch.
It IS there, since data that are accurate is being transmitted to my RainWise.net account and I can see it there.
I looked at the router table and see UNKNOWN for device name, but IP address is .12, which comes and goes when I pull the Cat5 connection and plug it back in.
However, I cannot go to that address in my local browser to access the internal web interface tool.
I downloaded the IP-100 manual, and in section #5, it says that the Rainwise Weather Dashboard is available if you are on the same LAN (I am) with the browser and the IP-100. I do recall a couple years ago when I set this all up being able to go into that page and yet didn't make any notes as to how to do it, and I recall that I just went to the 192.168.1.12 (or whatever the address was when on the wireless, DHCP assigned) and was able to access.
I guess I'm confused as to why the Device Name doesn't show up (I assume since the router cannot access the device and read the name) and why I cannot access the device locally, which again section 5 in the manual says I should be able to do without having the device access the internet (which it is, and shows something is working).
The manual skips over the part as to HOW to access the device, and I assume they must think it is obvious, but is not to me right now. I have NOT done a hard reset holding the button down and restoring power, thinking it might wipe out some barometer offsets I entered and don't know if those are in the EPROM on the device, but that may be the next step.
Any thoughts, in general?
Thx. Dale
