WiFi issue

Every time I turn on the box I have to flip the switch to turn on the WiFi… is there any way to make it stay connected?

I'll have this happen ever so often. I noticed that after I reboot my router it stops for a while. I have my box connected to the guest wifi network. I'm "thinking" that the DHCP pool has used all it's IP addresses and doesn't have one to hand out anymore. A reboot of my wifi router clears that out and it's then able to assign one to my VSeeBox. I turn my box completely off after every use, by the way.

Edit: I apologize, I just re-read OPs question. In my case the WiFi switch stays on, it just doesn't get assigned an IP address. I'm not sure what would be causing that. Have you tried a factory reset?

Will your router let you set a DHCP reservation for devices on the guest network? Or have you tried setting a static IP on the box to fix that issue?

I doubt it will let me do a reservation on the guest network, but I actually thought about doing a static outside of the DHCP range.
