    Access Points and Ethernet Backhaul

    To be honest I was thinking yesterday a 2.4 radio was on the way out but when I changed the least time and the problems stopped I thought it could be a coincidence and still a radio might be on the way out. But at the same time hoping it was just a config error that hadn't materialised because...

    Access Points and Ethernet Backhaul

    The main router and 5 access points are all AC86U. With hindsight I would probably choose another router series. I was unaware of the reliability issues when I bought them. By that I mean the issues I have read on these forums over the years have definitely made me think to replace them with...

    Access Points and Ethernet Backhaul

    Could anyone help with this one please? Last December I managed to get a stable network where no devices would go offline, all my access points were online for 2 months following, and I only needed to reboot the main router from time to time for admin stuff. I am 100% sure I still have this...

    How do you block the DNS of a device

    Thanks. I've been seeing lots of recommendations to move onto Zigbee to get away from wifi (generally at the bottom of threads where people looking for help with wifi bulbs lol) I haven't looked into it yet because I have spent a fair amount of time and money on these tuya wifi bulbs and...

    How do you block the DNS of a device

    They use Echo devices in each room to control the IOT devices within that room, while they are in that room. Sometimes they will use another rooms echo to control an IoT device in another room. For example they are in the kitchen and ask the kitchen echo to switch on the IoT devices in the...

    How do you block the DNS of a device

    Yeah I only started reading/learning about that a couple of weeks ago about some IOT devices being hard coded with DNS server. I can't confirm if any of mines do though.

    How do you block the DNS of a device

But ive since decided to not to go down this route since I wont be able to use the echo voice commands to control the...

    Access Points and Ethernet Backhaul

    Yeah had that one in my bookmarks, thanks. :) Haven't looked at it for a while though. First problem, all my system times and DTS were wrong. Rookie error lol. I mean I did notice the time error in the logs after every restart but was focusing so much on trying to get these bulbs running...
