This is happening to me....ETHO and MoCA have two different MACs. I have tried both MACs with DHCP reservation and it bounces around when it will key on one or the other. Any ideas? SDDP was taking a long time to reconnect, so I went to a fixed IP on Control4 side and set DHCP reservation on my router. However...we can reboot the router and or Dish Hopper and watch it grab one MAC first and next time another MAC? There is only one ethernet cable connected to the Hopper and nothing else has a wireless or wired connection. It is also doing randomly when no power loss (if the DISH Box shuts off?)...very weird.has worked fine for a while...this seems now..but can tell these posts are older.

Hello, We are seeing a strange issue where a client loses power quite often and when they do...the Control4 connection to Dish Hopper Box takes many hours to reconnect. We realize we could put battery backups on various network devices and the hoppers and that will ultimately happen, however, we were hoping for a more solid fix and that maybe someone else has seen this issue. We tried putting in a fixed IP in C4 and then using a DHCP reservation on the router for the hopper, however, the Hopper has two MACs (ETH0 and MOCA). They seem to take the same IP address to both when looking at the screens for the Hopper. We have tried using either one of the MACs as the DHCP reservation to the IP we set in Control4...but it seems to jump around between which MAC it takes as the primary lead on grabbling the IP address and is grabbing a DHCP address every other time. Of course, now that we set a fixed IP...it will never connect until client reboots the DISH boxes a couple times and waits to see if it works...terrible. If it matters, there is no USB wifi adapter on the Hopper, only a ethernet cable plugged in.

I have clients that have two DVR/NVRs in the same location. Any tricks to make port 7681 work when you have two devices on the same network? for 8000 I usually just make the external port 8001 for one of the devices....put internal port I leave at 8000. But sounds like I can't do that for 7681 for it to work??? Anyone know? Also no 310 DVRs/NVRs are mentioned....do they not get the same new benefit that the 510's are getting?
