OK, Let's start from the beginning

I have TWO HS100s and a wifi network with TWO SSIDs (one is secured, one uses MAC filtering - I use the first with my HS100s and the second with my iDevices)

When I configured the HS100s they worked FLAWLESSLY and Alexa can see both of them

BUT, over a couple of days, I noticed that they kept appearing to go "offline" - only to reappear again 10-20 minutes later - without ANY intervention on my part

I wondered if their IP addresses were "timing out" so I changed my DHCP server to assign STATIC IP addresses to them

That may have helped (it's early days yet) BUT, even though I know their IP addresses (and they show up in a network scan on my iPad) I can't ping them reliably either. Sometimes they are there, but more often I get "Destination Host Unreachable" which makes no sense

ANY advice would be appreciated.

One question that bothers me (and I am sure the answer must be no) - "Now I have configured them with static IP addresses, do I need to go through setup/registration again??)

Thanks all

These are SO smart when they work, it's really frustrating when they don't :(
