It sounds like you went a more complicated route than I did, but ended up in the same place. They sent me a new doorbell too, and the new one functioned better than the first, for whatever that's worth. No problems for a year and a half since I put all the SS on a discrete router and SSID.

For what it's worth Woodward, my issues with a SS doorbell stemmed from two things. First, it could not connect to a 5Ghz radio, and secondly, on the router, you cannot have 'Smart Connect' (auto-switching between 2.4 and 5Ghz radios) enabled. My solution was to disable Smart Connect and have...

Dirty flash from 102.5 to 102.6 went smoothly. I'm glad to see this released, as I was starting to see issues in .5 where it would slow down/lose connections unless rebooted every few days. Hopefully .6 corrects this.

Thanks, @GaselK. I'll stick with my work-around for now, and await the future updates.

I wanted to share my experience, as I've had some of the by now well-documented issues with the new 'Guest Pro WIFI' that replaced the previous guest wireless network settings. Immediately upon doing the firmware update my guest network lost connectivity, it seems to be due to a random VLAN...

For what it's worth, I went through a significant struggle with security devices from Simplisafe for a while. What it came down to was that they are made to only work in the 2.4GHz band, NO 'Smart Connect' auto 2.4/5GHz, no WIFI 6 mode, and only WPA2. If I keep the channel set this way, all is...

Hi folks, I did have one follow-up question. In the logs for the OpenVPN connection, I get recurring non-critical but persistent errors regarding MTU config mismatch: WARNING: 'link-mtu' is used inconsistently, local='link-mtu 1541', remote='link-mtu 1557' Where 'local' is actually the...

Cheers gents, I followed through with your recommendations and am pleased to report that I have everything up and running with minimal fuss. Special thanks to @elorimer for the detailed guide, I followed the suggestion of setting up the two servers with different ports/protocols so as to...

I've used TeamViewer before, it is a good tool for machine to machine access. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks a lot, folks! Looks like several good options here, I'll look through the materials you've referenced and try a few myself. Appreciate the responses.

Hey folks, I've used Asuswrt-Merlin for years, but have never dived much into the add-ons. I'm in a situation where I'm likely to be doing a lot of traveling, and want to be able to VPN back in to my home network for security and file access. For any of y'all who are experienced with the...

Agreed, I doubt the average home user would even know the difference between a layer 2 and layer 3 switch, let alone what a VLAN is.

I've not heard of Firewalla, but will look into it. Thank you for the tip!

Good day, folks! At work we're running an IPSec VPN on a Cisco RV345 that remote laptop users connect to with the Shrewsoft client using a pre-shared key. No issues with it at all, everyone has no problem connecting. For a few of our sales team that travel internationally, I had wanted to...

Just wanted to drop a note thanking Coxhaus for the assistance. Had to do a couple of factory resets to clear out whatever was ailing the thing, then go through the trouble of reconfiguring it from scratch, but it appears to be functioning correctly now. Next fun is trying to get the VPN...
