Make sure that your router does not have a firewall that is blocking devices. This is very common now days, especially with recent Linksys and TPLink router firmware updates. You almost always have to either disable the blocking or manually add the IP address of the device you want to connect in order to allow it to remain as a permanent device when the lease changes. Some routers come preset from the factory with a list of known IoT devices that can be automatically added, while others require manually adding them OR disabling this "feature". I have used LinkSys and TPLink routers during the course of developing this product (since 2016). I have had to disable this feature completely with my C5400 router.
