I just cleared out the device list on my router. The Dreamcast's ip address still will not show up on the router's settings page. I've also been having a problem with Dreampi since before resetting the device list where my Dreamcast can connect online, but it cannot connect to any game servers and throw a "No response from master server" error. If I try to use Web Browser 2.0, it will either fail to load the Dreampipe landing page or it will load the page much slower than normal.

I highly recommend sending a pm to pcwzrd13. He's good at diagnosing dreampi issues and can likely get you fixed up :)

Sorry you're facing these issues. I know it can be frustrating when your connection stops working all of a sudden. Afraid I'm clueless when it comes to there sort of things. In addition to contacting PC Wizard, you could try the DC-Talk discord server which has a "connection help" channel. Some folks don't check the website all that often anymore but are active there.

How is your LVI setup? Inside the modem, outside?

If is there insuficient voltage under him?

Is a raspberry? How is the ac adapter? Above 2amps?

Debug everything. Try dreampi for virtual machine also.

Keep us updated, it can be solved.

I did try using a Dreampi virtual machine and the results were the same as when I used the pi. Despite that, I managed to solve the problem for now by connecting a simple Belkin router I got from a yard sale between my ATT Uverse router and my Dreampi. I then DMZed the Dreampi on the Belkin router and Port Forwarded for the individual games to the Belkin's WAP ip address on the Uverse router. I can't DMZ the Belkin because my ATT router can only DMZ dynamic ip addresses as opposed to static ips. I think the main issue is that the Dreampi and Dreamcast share the same MAC address which confuses the ATT router. While it's not the most elegant solution, at least I can play Dreamcast online games again.
