Thanks. I was using the panel on an earlier Mac and it had the same behavior. Maybe I'll try out giving it a static IP. Even in their support documentation they talk about the order of turning things on to get it working, and once you figure that out do it that way.... I got it working more or less. It's buggy. I'm just saying it's kind of sad that there is a pretty nice panel out there that is heading toward E-waste because I actually like using it.
I will say that the M1 was a combination of thrills and disappointments. I mainly got it for using Resolve which supports it, so it's doing what I wanted, and it rocks with Resolve. I am bummed that I found out BM Intensity Extreme didn't work and After Effects doesn't output to monitor or run natively due to lack of support from Adobe and BM. And Avid.... I would have thought that they would have been moving a lot more quickly to get these things working. But the M1 was so freaking cheap and working great with Resolve I really shouldn't complain. It definitely has it's limitations though.
