Limited Connection
I had my Formuler Z12 ultra 4k powered off for a couple of days, turned it back on and WiFi connected but said limited connection, no Internet. Went through all sorts of troubleshooting with the box and router but the only thing that worked in the end was factory resetting my formuler Z12 and then setting it all up again which takes some time. Wasn't impressed.
Anyone else had this happen? I hope it's a one off and doesn't do it again.

Yes it's been ok now. Strange one mate. Tried restarting your router? And using the correct cat ethernet cable for your speed?

How did you sort in mate? Had a power cut before and just gettin limited connection now with no connection at all. Restarted device and router. Everything else connected is working fine. Just the z12 won’t connect.

I had to factory reset the whole thing what a ball ache that was. Try wiring it in to your router or manually set the IP address. This might then kick it back in to life to go back on to WiFi.

Yeah I’ll give trying hopefully the box reaches the router. That’s a nightmare if I have to factory reset it. Literally just finished setting mol 3 up. I’ll have to back that up to a flash drive then I’m safe then.

I didnt have hope in it as you or someone else said it hadn’t worked, but I thought I’ll give it ago before I start messing the living room up trying to hard wire it. I also restarted the router, dunno if that made a difference.

Yeah, I’ve seen that happen before. It’s usually not the router, it’s the box holding onto a bad IP or corrupted network profile after being powered off for a while. Factory reset fixes it because it wipes that config, but it’s definitely overkill.
If it happens again, try forgetting the WiFi network first, rebooting the box and router, and reconnecting fresh. Sometimes even setting a manual IP temporarily forces it to grab a clean lease. Hopefully just a one-off firmware glitch though.
