    Home setup

    Need help on my setup. It’s not working well so I appreciate any help in a better configuration. Too many devices connected via WiFi so need to wire TVs, work computer and PS. One CAT 6 Ethernet from Router, to switch, to two routers. Not connecting.

    Omada device choice

Earlier I used an Asus RT-AC68U, which is now out of support and showed some problems (I guess a reset...

    Punch Through Two Cinderblock Walls?

    My challenge: We have two buildings in an office complex, separated by a wide alley -- say, 30-50 feet apart. I want to link the networks in the two buildings so they are the same network. Buildings are all cinderblock (except for the metal doors, of course). The kicker is that the landlord...

    Linksys Velop 6E, Velop Pro 7 - sending credentials to cloud in clear text

    This might be rather uncomfortable for the Linksys folks... Their SmartWifi solution is storing the WiFi credentials in plaintext up in their cloud servers... https://stackdiary.com/linksys-velop-routers-send-wi-fi-passwords-in-plaintext-to-us-servers/

    Solved RT-AX56U AiMesh node unable to join Wifi network

    I have a home AiMesh network consisting of an AX88U as the main node and an older AX56U. Until recently, everything was working fine and wireless clients would connect to the AX88U or the AX56U depending on which node was closer. Since a recent firmware update to 3004.388.7 on both nodes, the...

    Random 802.11 packets on wl0(2.4ghz)?

    To expand on the title, I picked up some random packets while running tcpdump for my wl0 2.4ghz interface. These packets seem to refer to other wireless devices inferred from the packet data. No IPs or any identifiers, just my router’s MAC addr in each packet header. Is this just random AP...

    ASUS TUF Gaming AX4200 always broadcasting WiFi, even with radio turned off

    Hello guys! This is driving me insane. I bought a new AX4200 and disabled all radio functionality, both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio. I then realized that the router was still broadcasting a WiFi with a random name. Example: "42HCNXLDKW496M2495XRTFFN349N". Everytime I enable the 2.4 or 5GHz WiFi...

    Long shot: Anyone with WiFi issues on 386.10, 386.11 and 386.12.1/2/3/4 running Home Assistant?

    From watching threads here - and my own careful testing, we know this: 1. A number of folk have WiFi issues - typically 2.4Ghz with it either appearing to fail or allow no further connections until the router is power-cycled. 2. To avoid the issue, some folk run a script that reboots their...
