THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Well, the IP never changed, neither the router's nor the DHCP address allocated for that specific Transporter. But you gave me the idea to check back with my DHCP server (which is a Windows 2012 R2 Server running my AD + DNS + DHCP services). Found two entries in there for the same Transporter! No idea how that could happen but after cleaning up both, the Transporter connected all fine, also over Wi-Fi, got the first free address which is the same it used to have before, and that's the end of the story. Some more observations: despite the fact that I ended the personal Wi-Fi hotspot on my smartphone hours ago, it would still list the SSID, along with other SSIDs, the list again contained all but mine. It needed another factory reset to actually refresh the SSID. After that, it no longer contained by personal hotspot but showed my home SSID again. Funny, seems to be some caching involved there, where it really shouldn't be. So I did not get to the point where I can determine whether the DHCP server is used or not, but the firmware seems to analyze what can be found on the net up to that point. And as the DHCP would not deliver fully valid data, that might have caused the Transporter to hang around for 30 seconds. Whatever, I would love to understand this better but that would require Logitech to disclose more than they want to. Anyway, consider this solved. I'll use the weekend to recover from the shock :D thanks for your replies! Cheers, Joe PN me if your Boom / Classic / Transporter display has issues!
