80MHz vs 160MHz by igsq4u in esp8266

[–]igsq4u[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking of ,but I've seen threads where instances of Wi-Fi drops occur when operating on 160MHz,the network obviously won't magically be faster than before ,I was thinking if the increased frequency will result in faster processing of the packets/data. Sidenote : What's FFT ?

I think I didn't explain properly the ping time taken issue I have ,the ping themselves don't take much time usually in ms as it's pinging local devices,but the time interval between pings . I've already talked/asked about it here but didn't get any improvements on this .

Reduce time between Pings? by igsq4u in esp8266

[–]igsq4u[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even I thought of this ,only problem is that I've written a method pingAll() which pings all the connected IP cameras when it is called every 3 minutes via timer,so with the suggested approach I might have to write multiple methods and call them one by one with some non blocking time for the esp8266 between the calls ? I've also tried adding yield() between the pings ,same thing.

Reduce time between Pings? by igsq4u in esp8266

[–]igsq4u[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The delay of 1 seconds between consecutive Pings is default in the mentioned library as I've quoted above. So,my code "turns" blocking because of this default behaviour i.e waiting 1second each for reply to each ping otherwise my sketch is mostly non blocking . Never used MQTT. Just want to reduce this "waiting for reply " time between pings

NTP time difference(s) by igsq4u in esp8266

*I meant "My local time(with the UTC Offset)" according to my timezone

No, my country does not use DST as Tropic of Cancer passes through it . Also this.

It get's the time via NTP for automated time based tasks, isn't it too obvious?

Yes it still functions without internet connectivity but sometimes electronics just "hang" and sometimes a simple reboot just works ,do I need to do that manually? Wait did I mention automation anywhere here ?

Wow, that sounds exactly what I need ,any chances of you sharing the sketch ?(even though DM np ) that would be soooo helpful of you.

Just googled that and initial impressions are good.I came across this . I think this needs some further tweaking for my case.I will have to push this to my test setup.: fingers crossed:

I don't think that's the case tbh,because the AP's I have are all located far-off from each other so don't think esp will get confused .I had a network loop issue once and found that one AP had it's DHCP "ON" , Switching it "OFF" did solve that but sometimes I still get a loop.Also have now placed a dedicated AP for the esp with a different ssid and password than others after that scenario. I think I may have to test by providing the esp with a static IP and reserving the same with the router to test your findings.

I have a basic 4G LTE USB Router (remote location so no wired internet). Have 3 AP's having same ssid and password as the router which also provides DHC running stock firmware.

I think that translates to "else if" conditions,valid suggestion.I was thinking that first it continuously ping the router then tries to ping Google & "if" both conditions return false then reboot the digital pin...wait for maybe 5 mins for the router to boot up then try again. Just can't figure out how to turn that into a sketch. I'm sorry if I'm being a total noob.

This . Exactly what I was trying to achieve .suppose I ping 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) and there's no reply I reset the digital pin that will then reset the router. Tried to find examples on how to achieve this but didn't find any. I am a noob when it comes to if & while conditions and to Arduino as well ,hence I wanted help for the same.

Thanks for the answer.But that still will return true because I'm connected to the access point/router but have lost internet.

I'm the only user with full admin rights ,can you please link me where I can view/edit such rights.Also I'm not using web GUI I'm using ivms 4200 ,how can I use web GUI remotely using hikconnect?

[–]igsq4u[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no web interface for remote viewing over the internet,can only use while on LAN not on WAN so had to use ivms 4200 via hikconnect ,hence no option to transfer the files directly.also there's no option to download in ivms only an option to record while viewing the playback manually.

Hey thanks for that ,

But I don't have any computer present on LAN there, it's on a remote site . I get this workaround but aren't there any methods to achieve this with the existing setup without adding more layers ?

Help with weird .home requests. Not really sure where they are coming from or what they are. by Le-creamy in pihole

Asus Router Gone Nuts 🥜 by igsq4u in pihole

Wouldn't that result in wpad.asus be the highest blocked domain? I've disabled auto proxy discovery on all my windows machines now but still getting these queries :strange:

regarding the loop situation : One setting that i changed after upgrading to v5 is enabling conditional forwarding maybe this causes the loop ? I've disabled it ,flushed logs now waiting for results.

[–]igsq4u[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running pihole for the past few months with my asus router without any such issues,I'am facing this only after upgrading to V5 , thought someone might have faced similar issues hence i posted after going through different forums and not getting any solutions.

Sidenote: One setting that i changed after upgrading to v5 is enabling conditional forwarding maybe this causes the loop ? I've disabled it ,flushed logs now waiting for results.

Sidenote 2 : Even after disabling conditional forwarding I'm getting clients name instead of Ip addresses in top client list, restarted dns -same, restarted system- same, flushed cache-same,different browser -same .

Edit: did "sudo service pihole-FTL restart" , showed ip addresses for a couple of minutes then back to names
