Nokia FastMile 5G Receiver needs a restart each time it loses or gains connection.
You're facing a recurring issue with your Nokia FastMile 5G receiver restarting every time it loses or regains the signal. You've already updated the Intel LAN driver and tried other solutions. Here are some points to consider:
- The Nokia support team reached out via email, so follow up there for updates.
- Your recent driver update (V2.1.3.3 via Armoury Crate) resolved the issue on your Asus Rog device—this suggests the problem might be specific to your hardware or configuration.
- Check if other receivers in your setup behave similarly; it could point to a broader compatibility issue.
- Consider using third-party software tools that monitor and manage network connections, which may help stabilize the receiver without constant restarts.
The device assigns the IP address dynamically, likely using a public IP through NAT. If it directly uses the public IP, switching to 5G might reset it, and Windows may not capture the updated lease because the lease hasn't expired yet. Rebooting is often needed to obtain a fresh DHCP assignment.
Thanks for the clarification. I'll explore what DHCP involves. The part about the IP address seems logical.
This seems odd because it implies Windows doesn’t recognize any updates and should be unaware since everything is managed by the 5G adapter.
The IP address has been updated. It's unclear why it stayed the same previously. The Nokia app now displays both 5G and 4G options.
