I can work around the problem by
having my router powered from a UPS

their ac power "recycled" to get them
connected to the LAN again. Very
inconvenient at this time of year
since some of these devices are in
another building ...
When this happens I can not ping
those devices, normally I should be
able to connect to the cameras with
the browser and reboot them when some
glitch occurs but now when I lose the
LAN connection I have to visit them
and pull the plug. The printer is
near at hand and toggling the power
switch gets it back on.
I would make note of the MAC addresses
on each of the devices and check your
router to see if those devices are
connected via wireless link after it
reboots. Also, you may be able to
check the DHCP log of the router to
see if requests are being made for IP
addresses by any of the devices.
Sometimes is will have a table of
devices that have secured IP addresses
and list their associate MAC addresses.
If they are shown as connected via
wireless and are also in the DHCP
table, then try nmap and see what
results you get.

I have gone over the mac's and static
dhcp addresses carefully, notypos or
such there.
Neither journalctl or the router logs
show anything at the times when it fails
to connect or ping those addresses,
those that connect do show, but no clue
about the ones that don't.

All this stuff just worked for several
years until one day last week, I've lost
track of the exact date since it was
just an annoyance at the time ...
Now to add to the confusion I just tried
an F23 portable that doesn't get updated
as often and it connects to the camera
192.168.1.52 that this box10 can't as
shown above. I will try booting another
computer to Fedora 22 and see if it
still works as before ... I suspect that
perhaps something may have changed in
network manager?
