Hey @keklon

Did you make any changes on the device before it stopped working? Also it may be a good idea to upgrade your firmware to the most recent firmware 2.0.12

Hi Tim,

No changes were made prior to this issue.

I will do a firmware upgrade to see if this helps.

Also, I should mention that we have another wireless bolt, bridge set setup running flawlessly approximately 30 feet away from this one. Could there be interference issues?

I wouldn’t think that would cause an issue if they have both been setup an working near each other without issues up until now. Let me know what you find out after the firmware upgrade though

I just found a possible conflict one of the wireless bolts has an IP address the same as one of the connected devices. 192.168.0.100 is bolt and another controller. Can I change IP of the bolt thru the browser setting page? I can make it
192.168.0.115?

You should be able to change the IP address through either the webpage of the device or through HMS IPconfig as long as you’re connected to it

I changed the IP and it is functioning good now.

Thanks for the help.

Do you still recommend doing the firmware upgrade or Shall I let it be?

If it’s working right now I guess it’s not needed, but if you start having stability issues then I’d recommend going through with the upgrade
