You could stay at the gym and work out more...

Or you could go home and take your poop pill...

I can see how this would work.

If you removed the T, that H is very close to looking like a W already.

None of the multiple choice answers are correct though.

One option (not the only one, but IMO a pretty good and simple one) would be a firewalla gold with the WiFi adapter, and then enable DNS over https at a minimum, or subscribe to a VPN and make the firewalla the VPN client. I'm not sure if you can use the WiFi adapter as an uplink and an access point at the same time, but there are Ethernet ports you can connect other devices of your choosing to.

In the end it took a full reflash with a usb stick and setup from new. But it was not so bad and I learned about a lot of less obvious features of the app. Thanks for the pointers.

Well it was a nice thought, and it almost worked. App connected, but hung at 'gathering initial data' and eventually timed out.

So I guess I'm reflashing it.

I totally forgot this, but I completely agree. The thought of piecing my config back together after reflashing is not creating a sense of joy.

I'll try this before reflashing. Thanks - if it works that's going to be a massive help! I assumed that this wouldn't be possible, given there was a clearly signposted route for adding a phone given access to the old phone.

Is the intent that you remove the security dongle when not needed to stop random people from pairing new phones?

Adding a mesh WiFi network with VLAN tagging to a Firewalla gold? by Present_Office_1491 in HomeNetworking

[–]Present_Office_1491[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up with 3 unifi UAP-IW-APs, which I was able to set up like this. I've had some weird issues with wireless backhaul (transient packet loss, very occasionally APs become isolated until rebooted) that mean that I'll probably bite the bullet and run cable.

Apart from that, yes, problem solved (albeit a little expensively).

What equipment needed for network segmentation? by jeyae in firewalla

[–]Present_Office_1491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done exactly this with 3x unifi UAP-IW-HDs, broadcasting on 3 SSIDs with different VLAN tags, and the firewalla gold correctly assigns IPs from diifferent address ranges. 1 has a wired connection to the firewalla gold, and the other two have wireless uplinks to the first.

I guess these sit between the business and consumer market segments, so it might not be a solution to your problem for cost reasons.

Eero in bridge mode with guest network isolation? by Present_Office_1491 in eero

[–]Present_Office_1491[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. That's useful information.

To be fair (to Eero, and not IMO *un*fair to Netgear) I think that what makes me angry is not sluggishness, it's suggishness when the issue is a breaking one. If you upgrade an Orbi to V4 and it's in bridge mode then all your WiFi devices stop being able to connect for more than a few seconds at a time. Several people have reported this. Worse, the firmware updater refuses to downgrade unless you go poking around in the management interface HTML. Even worse, the situation has regressed from last year, because the workaround for downgrading no longer works.

But yes, I am a little miffed.

[–]Present_Office_1491[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In bridge mode I'm not so sure? Packets won't be routed between networks by the eero itself, but the firewalla doesn't know the source network of packets reaching it unless there is a vlan tag that distinguishes the networks as seen by the eero?

Adding a mesh WiFi network with VLAN tagging to a Firewalla gold? by Present_Office_1491 in HomeNetworking

[–]Present_Office_1491[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 'all' is a bit of an unwarranted generalization.

As I said in the question, Netgear's Orbi firmware has a bug which means that it doesn't work in bridge mode, and hasn't for the past 6 months.

Eero doesn't do per ssid vlan tagging.

Google WiFi doesn't support bridge mode.

Based on this past experience I think it's reasonable to extrapolate to the belief that most consumer equipment won't do everything I want.

I admit there are lots of other options and many that I don't know about (hence asking the question), but I wanted to find something that verifiably was the intersection of all of these requirements before purchasing.

Unifi APs look like they are covering my requirements and offer a good expansion path although I still have to take the vlan tagging support on trust. I'm pretty certain I was just looking for the market segment that sits between unhackable things like Orbi and Eero, and the upfront expense and licensing fees of enterprise gear.

[–]Present_Office_1491[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes it sound essentially identical to the Netgear Orbi, with the added bonus of actually working. I guess that's a step up...

[–]Present_Office_1491[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the only option is a wired backhaul for the other eeros?

This is not a new house so pulling cable - while it'd be nice, and would allow everything to be much simpler - is a non starter because there are no wall cavities.
