I have a SkyLink Base Station I was able to log into it once however after setting it to XLR with RDM after it rebooted, I wasn't able to reach the page to log in, the IP stopped responding. I am able to ping it, it just won't bring up the page.

I know there are setting along with each of the ports, but I don't fully understand why they can't be switchable with a priority like the skypannels have, like sACN or Art-net takes precedence when Ethernet is present, and when DMX is present it takes priority.

Hi Kealight,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
I have tested a system with the actions you have performed and have not encountered the issue. Have gone back-and-forth a couple of times with no problem.
Depending on what device you are using to communicate with SkyLink, when you switch from Ethernet/WiFi to XLR, the WiFi is temporarily disabled during reboot and your device may have defaulted back to a different WiFi network connection. The first step would be to make sure the SkyLink Base Station has reconnected to your device. Sometimes it takes a moment to fully re-establish your connection.
Another thing to check is your IP settings. I usually leave my DHCP mode in Static IP + DHCP server.

Attaching the User Manual for your reference if you do not have it.

Thanks for reaching out.
