I would suggest trying to set the IP address to static using the DIP switches. If there available addresses are not compatible with your network then you can use the local app on the rare moments it connects to assign a static IP address. Make sure t set the DIP switches to "custom mode" for the settings to stick. Be advised that in static mode you must use the Local App to change all other settings.

did that already still didnt work

Do you have the latest local app and latest firmware. I found esp the former helped my timeouts. I use a static address to a router running dhcp and just use the address range outside the dhcp. Works.

Yes, those symptoms (connecting and quickly disconnecting) are indicative of a possible address conflict. Have you tried removing the original Classic from the network to see if the Lite then connects reliably? If that is the case then it is possible that the addresses are conflicting.

Any device SHOULD do an ARP WHOHAS (IP address) *BEFORE* it binds to the address itself, and certainly way before anything could connect to it.
