No, but there are places in my house where the speed drops off significantly - from 250-300+Mbps to 15. There are "dead spots" in my house, as confirmed by both my wife and me on multiple devices (phones, laptops, etc). That's what I was trying to address with the AC router as an AiMesh node...
Seems so far that after eliminating the AC router and not using AiMesh, things have gotten a bunch more stable. Still need to do testing to see how bad (or not) coverage is with just the one node, but things look promising.
I think I was under the impression that I needed to use it with YazFi specifically. I was learning about AsusWRT-Merlin and Pi-hole simultaneously. It looks like YazFi's "Force DNS" setting will make it easier to apply to any and all devices on a given guest network, but at the expense of loss...
I'm marking as solved, but is it better to use DNS Director or setting the DNS server under the DHCP Server tab for the device to skip my Pi-hole? My guess is I ought to use DNS Director since setting the DNS server is dependent on YazDHCP?
I am indeed using YazFi, here are more details:
IP address range:
Ethernet and main wifi: 192.168.36.0, range .20 to .254
Guest wifi: 192.168.42.0 (2.4GHz - IP range .2 to .254) and 192.168.45.0 (5GHZ - IP range .2 to .254)
Media wifi (cameras, smart speakers, etc): 192.168.52.0 (2.4GHz - IP...
I have an Intel NUC running Pi-hole that I'm currently using as my DNS server for my network:
I have a device on my IoT network that's pretty chatty (a baby monitor), and it regularly causes my Pi-hole to throw a warning that the concurrent DNS query limit is reached. I've tried both of the...
Looks like I just had another disconnect event. As @gk802 mentioned, this appears a lot in the logs:
Nov 29 12:23:54 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(662): wl0.2: Disassoc F8:51:28:0B:04:15, status: 0, reason: Disassociated because sending station is leaving (or has left) BSS (8), rssi:0
I set to 20MHz and 80MHz respectively, and selected channels based on my local area (used a wifi analyzer app on my phone to identify the best channels). I'll report back if things improve.
The node's Backhaul Connection Priority is set to 5GHz Wifi First, and Ethernet Backhaul connectivity is disabled; other than that, all other AiMesh settings are default/auto.
Router itself is also on auto for channels/bandwidth for both (2.4GHz: 20/40MHz bandwidth; 5GHz: 20/40/80MHz...
Hi folks,
I've been pulling my hair out for a while trying to figure this one out. All of my devices on all of my networks (main network, media device network, IoT) will regularly drop out simultaneously. This has been going for months now, and seems to happen once or twice a day for anywhere...
This was super helpful (and easier for me to parse than trying to manually run through the script and do all the substitutions myself)! Here's what I found that the script does to allow one-way from main LAN to guest network. (If helpful I can also attach the full iptables-save output in case...
