Hmm, are imgur not permanent? Anyhow, I have the LAN on the TPLink going to an unmanaged switch. From there its going to the LAN port in my AP. I did try using the WAN port (as a test) and did not see any change.

LOL, yes I had them laying around. Their sole purpose is to serve 2.4ghz wifi to some bulbs that are on the outside of my home. My router is very central to my home so this helps get thru the concrete wall. They arent doing much and TBH they work great (well when they were on my TPLink DHCP)

Yes I posted another thread a few weeks back. Couldnt figure it out so I went back to my TP Link DHCP. Was giving this one more go and then put a lot more detail into this post. Modem is 192.168.0.x Subnet 255.255.255.0 TPLink is 192.168.19.x Subnet is 255.255.255.0 Pihole and 3 APs on...

Everythibg is on 192.168.19.x with a subnet of 255.255.255.0

Oh yes, Ive rebooted everything, TP Link Router, DDWRT AP, and Pihole Rasberry Pi. Just so weird to me that using the TP Link DHCP my DDWRT APs worked (with the same settings) without issue. There isnt much I can change on the Pihole DHCP side unfortunately -Range to hand out to -Gateway...

Gotcha. Well in that case it is already using the IP for the TPLink Router. And in my testing, I switched it to the Pihole as the gateway and that too didnt work lol.

Yes Ive rebooted them. Also I have the ethernet from my Router in the LAN port of the DDWRT AP. I tried the WAN port just in case, and still did not work I did more testing and I am able to connect my laptop to it via Ethernet and can pull an IP. Additionally, I actually DO see the wifi bulbs...

Quick update. I hardwired into the WRT54G and was able to pull an IP to my laptop. So I am now thinking this is more focused on the wifi side of things

Hi all, so its been a bit of a journey but I recently switched to using Piholes DHCP. I have 3 additional access points on my network in addition to my Router. Everything connecting to my main TP Link router, no issues, but my wifi bulbs going to my APs (old ass WRT54G with DDWRT) stopped...

Yes dhcp was turned off on router and on via pihole dhcp. It was working fine except some settings on my ddwrt it doesn't seem to like. I did a test and out dhcp back to my router and the ddwrt APs connect just fine. So I suppose something about the way pihole dhcp (uses dnsmasq I believe) is...

Hi gang, so a bit ago I put my old ass routers on my network to get some range close to the cement walls. All was good, hooked my wifi bulbs to them etc. I used some guides to connect my DDWRT old routers and set as APs. Just today I was working on doing static IPs for all of my wifi devices...

Thank you. Regarding the MAC change, is this something most routers offer? Im not seeing that anywhere within the Netgear web UI. Thanks

Let me rephrase. When I go into the logs of my net gear router is shows a list of suspected DoS attack IPs and ports. I guess they could very well be false positives

Wow I honestly never even thought it could be the power brick. But thats a good suggestion and worth a try. As for the drop block list tbh I wasn't seeing how to block wan ips from the router. Perhaps I need to do this instead in my att fiber modem? Thanks

Hi all. So today my router seems to keep going offline. Its a Netgear Nighthawk AC router. Anyhow last week I did add 3 old Routers setup as APs (hardwired) so not sure if somehow related. I also checked the logs and see I am get DoS attacks. I do have the DoS protection enabled and disabled the...
