Hi Cafo,
Sorry to hear about this.
As you mentioned, DHCP being set incorrectly can cause this symptom. However, an incorrect IP address, Subnet Mask or Default Gateway can also cause a long boot up.
Please try reentering your Network Settings as show below:
IP Address: 192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254
DHCP: OFF
If you still experience problems then please open a support ticket and we’ll investigate further.
Best Regards,
Allen & Heath Product Support
