Well, just to close the loop on this thread - the actual problem was my old D-Link switch was going south. Started noticing issues with other wired devices also. A new switch and everything is lovely again! Thanks again for the help.

That was a bit tongue in cheek. Web search didn't turn up any other instances of xlights causing this issue and it did turn up many hits on ARP in RouterOS being over sensitive. Hopefully, setting static IPs will resolve this. Thanks for the help!

I have no problem setting a static ip address. The issue is why does xlights kick my controller off the network?

Well, it was working fine until xlights "found" it, but worth a shot...

To quote Lee Corso, "not so fast my friend". This issue came to light when I tried to "correct" the K8's IP address in xlights and received the "Mismatch IP" error in xlights. The error would not clear regardless whether I clicked Yes or No. I had to use the task manager to kill xlights...

It turns out that the problem was a static IP on the K8. When I changed the router, it must have tried the same last 3 digits in the new range. I got into it with USB tether and changed to DHCP and all is well. I'll probably change it back to static later, but since my show will not run on my...

The router is a MikroTik hAP ac2 RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC. It connects to the network through a 24 port unmanaged switch. Other than wifi setup, it's running default settings. I'll try to upload some screen caps later. Went to bed early last night and just getting started here.

The K8 shows an IP in the correct range and 255.255.255.0 subnet. I'll try reinstalling FPP.

My old router was getting long in the tooth and I wanted better functionality and security(aka - no data harvesting), so I went with a Mikrotik router. A few bumps with the transition, but not too bad. Now I've run into something that I can't seem to solve. My K8-B has disappeared from the...
