    Nerd help needed on router issues

    This can be done from the router side by setting up reservations in your router settings. You need to know the MAC address of the device and the IP address you want to give it. Most routers allow you to set reservations.

    This way you can have your devices set to automatically get an IP from your router, and they'll always get the same one. You also don't have to manually configure each device.

     

    You can usually also change your DHCP settings in the router to give out more dynamic IP addresses too, if you need more addresses

    Yes, I've done all that but limited to only reserving 8.

    For some strange reason it isn't working for me anyway, they're being assigned new Ips no matter what reservation I'm setting for them.


    so far, the whole system has been working flawlessly and the only thing I have done is set the lease times to max (I think it was one week)

    Are you setting up static IP's from the router or on the individual devices?  If you do it on each individual device, you would be limited to over 200, not 8.  It would also prevent router from resetting those ip's if it gets reset.

     

    Dude, this is what I need. I thought it could be completely done from the router side. Thanks mate

    Those Huawei things aren't great and 22 devices going through the router part of it is doing bloody well IMO (everything be it cabled or wifi will go through the router part) as i usually see them shit them selves at anything 10+, though home automation devices don't send much traffic. On the other side of that i doubt a Huawei box would support 22 devices on WiFi so you must have a number cabled.

    Sounds like I'm lucky as is. 

    10 lights, 2 Chromecasts (older 2.4only models) Ac controller, 2 switches, dehumidifier and air purifier on the 2.4ghz band, so 17 devices

    The other 5 are cabled computers or 5ghz casting devices.

    What I want to know is:  If I plug another router into the current one, can I put say 8 of those devices listed above on the new router, halfing the load on the original router? 
    or is there some sort of bottleneck. I had an inkling at it being down to how devices are assigned Ip's

    I set static IPs for the things I didnt want to drop off, but for some reason I can only set a max number of those at 8.

    I've never had network performance issues, its always there, works solid and never drops out, just a whole device will disappear and it takes a router reset to jumble ip's up again and its assigned a new one

    I would suggest replacing the Huawei unit with something better in the first instance. Be prepared to spend $500+ on a decent router that can handle though. 

    Pretty much what I'm trying to avoid :lol: But if everyone agrees its necessary Ill bite the bullet

    Hi, sick of trawling google not getting straight answers and many of you clever chaps will know!

    I have started with some basic home automation stuff,  google home hubs, wifi lights, chromecasts, heatpump controllers, wifi outlets etc etc, everything works fine and dandy.
    Anything that supports 5ghz network or lan cable is done so, freeing up the space on the 2.4ghz network which many things (all the lights) are on.

    It seems i've hit the max number of devices connected before one gets randomly booted off to replace another at about 22 
    The Lan cable and 5ghz are never booted, so i'm assuming its a maximum just on 2.4ghz band

    Can i plug another router into my current router expanding my max number of connected devices? or does that second router use up device slots in the primary router? by slots do i mean IP addresses? I have no idea. 

    I have no issues with signal or strength anywhere>
     

    If anyone lurking in the shadows has any idea how to help Id appreciate a cheeky PM, thanks team :)

    Hi this is going to be so basic I'm sure, so I'll leave it in spam. 

    I have a 1988 Yamaha Mint, sickest scooter I've owned. Recently developed problem of carb overflowing with gas. Pulled it out, cleaned everything, checked float needle etc. All seems fine, but still happens. How does one adjust a needle with no adjustment? I've seen the tab you can bend, but this one has no obvious adjustment.

    Also, it will go for about a kilometre before it dies and drains out, this seems like quite long for a constantly filling carb?

    was driving down Broderick road Johnsonville about 30mins ago and swear I saw this go through lights heading up Morefield road towards Onslow College. Noticed the bare intake pipe, but numberplate has been taken off the front. I mean how many more are there that look EXACTLY like that, If id seen the thread earlier I would have chased it

    Chances are its still whole and still in wellington region

    Recently had a cunt of a time with a rb. Check aac valve plunger is not stuck open/carbonated to fuckery, also I couldn't get a reading through a brand new lead, broken out of the box. Definitely turn car on and jiggle all wiring for subtle changes in revs lol, found the revs dropped 500 with afm plug in a certain postion.

    Mossay? look around the carpet beneath you're clutch pedal and see if its wet/greasy. Same thing happened to me, and i knew there was a leak but couldn't find it anywhere, Turns out it was soaking into the underside of my carpet slowly and was invisible until the whole master emptied itself. The smell gives it away...
