    Guest network giving two sets of IP

    I do a scheduled reboot weekly and have been running like this for over a year. Everything seems to be running okay. It's just annoying when I go to wireless logs and it shows the wrong IP address. I'm using aimesh. Also have a lot of settings so I really don't want to do factory reset. I...

    Guest network giving two sets of IP

    What is the fix? Factory reset? Or can I just disable guest 1 and move it to 3.

    Guest network giving two sets of IP

    This is my Guest network. I've got Yazfi and running 386.3_2 firmware. Clients on this 2.4G network should only be getting 192.168.2.0/24 IP. However some devices are picking up my internal 192.168.1.0/24 network. Any idea what is going on? I also tried pinging these 192.168.1.0/24 IP that is...

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    I've attached the floor plan. Bear in mind that the router/leaf node is located at those location because there are existing cable infrastructure and it is a rental home. So I cannot start running cables/drilling holes through the walls. We are mostly all at Room 2 on the 1st floor as it's the...

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    This is the 2.4G band and I'm using auto. Currently it's at channel 10. However the guest are all connected to the 5G network. My thoughts were the 2.4G was overloading the router so it was causing problems for 5G band. After reading so many advices/suggestions on here, it seems 2.4G clients...

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    My other 15 devices are just random things. Mostly just smart devices, bulbs, light switches, power switch, google home, amazon echo, ovens, vacuums, raspberry pi. They operate all on 2.4G and I try and keep my 5G solely for devices that need high bandwidth such as tablets, mobile phones and...

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    ISP speed is 200 down and 10 up. Network diagram? As in relation to the rooms, floor plan of the house? I've been wanting to go for wifi6 as my neighbors have started to use the 5G network and they seem to have the google mesh. I also looked into ubiquiti/unifi devices but they are getting...

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    One problem I noticed with guest network / yazfi and aimesh node. All the wifi cameras are on 2.4G as they don't support 5G. Some camera reports they are getting a 192.168.1.0/24 subnet when they are actually on the Guest isolated network of 192.168.2.0/24. I know they are not on the...

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    It's with the root node. I actually never tried pinging the leaf nor have I checked whether they are connected to leaf or root node. Hmm I guess I should find that out.

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    ac86u and ac68p. All on 386.3_2. Wired backhaul. I started with 1 router only but it had troubles reaching the edge of the house and the outside. I needed wifi outside as there are wireless cameras. Have 1 router/mesh node on each floor. They are both in the central of the house. Well one of...

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    I'm using ac68p and ac86u (primary). I first started with the ac86u only. I don't recall seeing as much problem with just 1 primary router. However it has many dead spots in the house and the signal is too weak in some areas hence why I started adding more nodes.

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    The mesh device uses ethernet backhaul. I suspect the cameras are idle. They only connect to AWS and upload small clips whenever they detect motion/person. Rest of the time they are just recording to local sdcard. Whenever I get a wifi outage or high latency (when I ping the router from the...

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    Yes, I use usb 3.0 port with an usb hub to power some devices like raspberry pi. I have 3 SSID. Two on 2.4G and 1 on 5G. I've seen the issue and it's really odd. WAN is not saturated at all and I start seeing high 1000-2000ms ping on the 5G network when there isn't much traffic going on. CPU...

    If I look at the signal strength for the devices. They all look pretty healthy.

    How many wifi devices is too many?

    I have aimesh setup with 1 router and 1 node. Used to have a total of 3 nodes but I think it was causing more problems with connectivity. Running the latest merlin firmware. Reboot once a week ~15 wifi camera devices ~20 pcs/phones/laptops ~10 IOT Around 20 wifi clients connected to 1 router...

    Moved to aimesh and it seems worse

    The link is on his url. It's the one that I used to set it up. I took a node out and it seems to be a little more stable.

    Moved to aimesh and it seems worse

    Originally I have 1 router and 1 access point connected together via ethernet. Both at center of the house and one on each floor. It kinda works but just annoying to manage when I have to update them. I was thinking let's try out aimesh and buy another extra access point to increase the...

    Antenna broken on AC87R, replaceable?

    Oh I did not know about this buggy router until I did a simple search on the forum. Although I'm only going to be using it as an additional AP, I definitely don't want something that is so unreliable. I'll look into getting more AC68u/p. Thanks.

    Antenna broken on AC87R, replaceable?

    I'm not sure, I only own ac86u and ac68p. They both seem to unscrew. I'm not sure if it's actually broken from inside the chassis. If it is broken from inside the chassis, I'm assuming this is still fixable with some soldering?
