Can not integrate Venus GS with local LAN

I have a question. I tried to put Venus in the LAN and wireless router with DHCP.
I can see that LAN sees Venus, and assign IP address and proper MAC address.

However

1. Network does not show any traffic from/to Venus device
2. When I try to use moble app, it can not find any devices
3. When I try to ping Venus device by using DHCP assigned IP address it times out.
4. When I try to access Venus via ssh it times out.

All these issues do not exists when I connect via Venus WiFi, however I can not go to the internet though Venus WiFi. Any attempts to reset router did not work. After short press of the reset button the green led still blinking slow, and nothing changed, i can even see the Venus WiFi network, which according to the documentation should blink fast.

I, even, can not upgrade firmware, because I can connect to the internet.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Best Regards

Greg

@greg As you can gain access into it with WI-FI you are able to do an offline update to the latest firmware via USB stick.

Updating with a microSD-card or USB-stick is called 'Offline updating'. Use it when updating a device that is not connected to the internet.
