Hello,
I recently installed YazFi hoping to avoid any trouble with all the cheap Chinese devices by isolating most on a dedicated IoT network.
I want to get a notification if any of my IP cameras becomes unresponsive and can successfully assign a dedicated IP following the below from the documentation. All good.
Now the problem is devices that are dual band, and roam freely between the 2,4/5GHz nets (who both have the same SSID). It would not be possible to reserve an IP for them. So I thought, OK I will just assign a hostname using
The camera is successfully assigned a host name, and I can initially ping it on Cam5.lan - however after a while it changes to the other band, but does not update it's IP address, maintaining 192.168.3.x when it should switch to 192.168.6.x - and at this time not available to ping or view any longer.
Am I doing something wrong here, or is it down to a limitation of YazFi or the (Reolink) camera ?
The most obvious solution would be to turn off the 5GHz network, but I would prefer not to.
