    Smart plugs going offline - DHCP Discover / Offer loop

    That’s a concern. That’s why I’ve decided to ditch them and move to Wyze plugs.

    Smart plugs going offline - DHCP Discover / Offer loop

    One of the plugs was out today, making me think the problem is not fixed. also, does anyone know why a simple smart plug would need to upload 8gb of data over the course of a month? I’ve decided to order a pair of Wyze plugs to replace the two regular lights I use. Hopefully it will have less...

    Smart plugs going offline - DHCP Discover / Offer loop

    As a follow up, I changed my 2.4ghz from 20mhz only to 20/40, and this appears to have fixed the problem with the smart plugs. I haven’t noticed any of them showing up as offline over the past few days since I made the change. I’ll update if it returns, but just wanted to leave this note in...

    Smart plugs going offline - DHCP Discover / Offer loop

    Not that I’m aware of, other than the Etekcity outlets, I have mostly basic and common consumer gear. Roku, Alexa, Sonos. The modem is my personally owned SB6141, which I don’t think even has any customization options. (Provider is Comcast) I assume that would show up in the logs? I guess I...

    Smart plugs going offline - DHCP Discover / Offer loop

    I have four Etekcity/VeSync smart wall plugs that I use for various lights in the house, and for the most part they work as intended, but they go offline randomly and I either have to reboot the router, or sometimes just wait it out. I just noticed today that when the outlets go offline, they...

    RT-AC86U stability/range vs AC66U

    Thanks, I searched for a bit and didn't find anything conclusive, but did try three things: 1) reset iPhone Network Settings 2) switched 5g channel from 48 to 36 3) adjusted router direction and antenna placement I did all three at once, so not sure which had an impact (I'm assume 1 or 2)...

    RT-AC86U stability/range vs AC66U

    I don't have airtime fairness or beam forming settings in my Wireless -> Professional tab, is this something that should be there for the AC66U (original, not B1 revision)? Currently on version 380.69_2

    RT-AC86U stability/range vs AC66U

    I've currently got an RT-AC66U loaded with the latest Merlin using almost all default settings and no special features (no VPN, no QoS, etc). I'm having significant issue with stability and range on the router, specifically on my iPhone X. When I roam around the house, I often lose internet...
