I have tried connecting straight to the cubes, and nothing.
I used another computer to try to connect directly to the block and couldn't connect.
I disconnected the tp-link router from my DSL modem/router and tried to connect. nothing
I did a ping test on the tp-link setup page and it will ping the 192.168.1.254, thus verifying that the factory reset did infact change (atleast this cube) back to the 192.168.1.254.
still i cannot connect.
I can provide pictures of the setup page and what not, but at this point I am still just lost as to why i cannot connect to them.
Also i need to add that I am only working with 1 cube until i resolve this, then i will bring the rest online.
