    Ting-fire device can't get DHCP addr direct from Asus router wifi...can get address from Asus router via TP-Link extender

    Heh, I gave up on it and took the path of least resistance - just set it up through the extender AP where it happily sits chugging away, not a care in the world. I _have_ had issues with some smart plugs recently, two of them failing in ugly fashion (one 'behind' two UPSes and other on the UPS...

    Ting-fire device can't get DHCP addr direct from Asus router wifi...can get address from Asus router via TP-Link extender

    I'll wrap this up here, unsolved. Moved to ch 11, as only four other neighboring AP's using it, none better than -75 dBm. Set to only 20 Mhz, protected management frames disabled, wireless mode 'auto'. All devices around the house that are on the 2.4 GHz band happily chugging along. Ting device...

    Ting-fire device can't get DHCP addr direct from Asus router wifi...can get address from Asus router via TP-Link extender

    Alrighty, after a good night's sleep and some strong coffee to send a refresh signal through my aging neurons, I did some reading, and I've learned the fascinating fact that I don't know my arse from a whole in the ground when it comes to dealing with the 2.4GHz range. At some point in the past...

    Ting-fire device can't get DHCP addr direct from Asus router wifi...can get address from Asus router via TP-Link extender

    Okay, but there are no issues with the wifi on channel 10. The router and extenders are all on channel ten. The Ting device in question, which was stable for the last year and a half I've owned this Asus router can no longer get an IP directly from the router's DHCP, per the logs. Neither device...

    Ting-fire device can't get DHCP addr direct from Asus router wifi...can get address from Asus router via TP-Link extender

    No luck. Changed settings as recommended save for the channel, still on 10, same as the extender (woof is the asus 2.4GHz, woof_saturn is the extender 2.4GHz). Also didn't do anything with the 'disable b' option that showed up after changing it to auto. Connected to the extender fine, albeit the...

    There's tons of neighborhood AP's on 1, 3, 6, and 11. At least from the screenshot here, I have most of 10 to myself (all 'woof' networks are mine)?

    When I switch it to auto, it offers the option disable 11b. I guarantee I have no devices running that. Should I leave it be or can I disable it?

    Ting-fire device can't get DHCP addr direct from Asus router wifi...can get address from Asus router via TP-Link extender

    Interesting, as above. I guess I did muck about with a few things, geez. Of that, I'm certain. All three wifi extenders have their local DHCP turned off, forwarding on through to the Asus. I do have an assortment of devices across the network, a GPS disciplined time server (Raspberry pi), an...

    Ting-fire device can't get DHCP addr direct from Asus router wifi...can get address from Asus router via TP-Link extender

    Okay, I'll look what that does. Some things in the configs have a popup info box, that one doesn't. I know a lot about networks, but obviously not everything, and the nitty gritty details of wifi aren't an area I spent a lot of time in before semi-retirement... Interesting, okay, I'll try it...

    I have a 'Ting' electrical system monitor - amazing device - reported loose neutral on mains, PG&E checked even though they didn't believe it could diagnose it - neutral into mains apparently had never had its retaining screw tightened since house built in 1987! - But I digress. A few weeks...

    Missing numeral 5?

    Yep. 21% 22% 23% 24% 26% 27% 28% etc from beginning to end. I wasn't paying close attention when it got to fifty percent, but I think if the 'tens' number was missing it would have been visually jarring enough that I would have awakened from my stupor.

    Missing numeral 5?

    I don't know if it's a bug in ASUS firmware or in Merlin, but...am I the only one who's noticed that when rebooting or applying settings that have a 'wait' dialogue that counts to 100%....the numeral '5' never appears in the 'ones' position?
