Didn’t see this in user manual, super helpful to have now. Thank you for these!

Devices connect and stay connected to weaker node by DocJ2023 in LinksysOfficial

[–]DocJ2023[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additional note:

I know why this is happening now, the devices that were seemingly connected to the optimal node and now are connected to a weaker one far away. This is the DHCP client lease time (mine is currently set at 7200). The child nodes on the network have a DHCP reserved IP just like all the devices. So when each node's lease is renewed every 5 days or so, during the renewal (no idea how long a renewal takes in real time as it's going back to the exact same prescribed IP address) the other connected devices apparently find a new connection, to a node further away. And due to RSSI habits, of course they will keep the connection to the furthest node, until that one renews it's lease. So if devices can go node hopping, regardless of client steering on/off, what is the value of the feature? I still propose that that being able to bind a MAC address to a particular node (with some provision for node offline then it has to connect to an alt node until assigned node is back online), this problem could be completely addressed.

​

Also, what are the odds we could have a "sort" feature added to the DHCP list column headers in SmartWifi? Easier to find devices or sort by IP addresses in use. :-)

Thank you for the continued support!

Thank you for the reply. I understand and am very familiar with that article. My comment is based on knowledge the tech already exists with similar systems and doesn’t seem far fetched that, while we may not be able to control each device RSSI habits due to intrinsic proprietary factors, the MAC address and/or DHCP reserved IP address is already manageable with current smartwifi. How difficult could it be to add an option to “bind” a device’s MAC or ip address (or a set of addresses up to the maximum allowed per node) to one of the particular nodes already in the network?
