    Forced to reboot router to allow my laptop to connect to wifi and some other devices to work properly

    In fact, I'm still having the issue. If I return this router, what other router can I buy that doesn't suffer issues like this? I paid £60 on ebay for it, WeBuy (Cex) has it for £80; I was tempted to buy another one from them, but maybe it's not worth the hassle. I just want a router that...

    Forced to reboot router to allow my laptop to connect to wifi and some other devices to work properly

    ok, but the fact that they keep working despite having static ip means they're not on a different subnet, right?

    the devices (Shelly, Sonoff tasmotised) only need local access and static IP, they don't need any cloud or internet access

    Forced to reboot router to allow my laptop to connect to wifi and some other devices to work properly

    DIscovery isn't needed; however, after having moved everything to the new guest network, all device have retained the same static IP (192.168.0.x), so how can they be in a different subnet?

    Forced to reboot router to allow my laptop to connect to wifi and some other devices to work properly

    If I move the IoT devices to a guest network, could it only help if I block intranet access? I am asking because they NEED local access to connect to the MQTT broker Does it make sense to move them go the guest network and enabling intranet access? By the way, the seller says he has never used...

    but then I won't be able to access home assistant from my laptop/phone? sorry, does guest network mean guest wifi network? The HA lives on a ethernet connected raspberry

    Forced to reboot router to allow my laptop to connect to wifi and some other devices to work properly

    I think, despite the network map showing 35 devices, I cannot connect to any of my Shelly light switches, they all use the 2.4GHz network, same as my Lenovo Laptop. It seems to be a problem with the 2.4GHz WiFi I just tried changing this option from "Auto" to "20MHz" and everything started...

    Forced to reboot router to allow my laptop to connect to wifi and some other devices to work properly

    I did a factory reset (while on Merlin 386.11) and then reconfigured the router about a week ago. Today I again woke up to the home assistant not working properly and my laptop (a Lenovo from 2015) not able to connect to WiFI; both our other 2 work laptops work fine, all Apple devices work...

    Forced to reboot router to allow my laptop to connect to wifi and some other devices to work properly

    Hi all, I'm using an Asus RT-AC86u which I just bought second hand; I've installed on it the merlin firmware, mainly to be able to selectively run some devices through a VPN tunnel. This morning I woke up to my Home Assistant instance not functioning properly; it runs on a Raspberry PI4...

    Asus RT-AC58U selective VPN?

    I'm running the stock firmware 3.0.0.4.386_21649 I mean that the work PC is using my company's corporate VPN, but it also connected to the router that has my personal NordVPN enabled (VPN through another VPN); so it should still be limited by the router, but in fact it is not. Every other...

    Asus RT-AC58U selective VPN?

    I have recently bought an Asus RT-AC58U V3 I have setup Open VPN and I've got a couple of questions: - when I activate the VPN all devices connected start using it apart from my work PC which stays connected to its own VPN (in fact the speed doesn't drop for it); although this is useful, how is...
