This includes about 15 wired devices with the rest being connected via one of the WiFi networks. The aggregate network has ~60 ☑0 devices connected at any one time. Additionally, the second WiFi network of four meshed APs can no longer see the 'net. The connected ones (to the WiFi) can't get out to the Internet and the unconnected ones can't connect. In particular, the router apparently runs out of resources (speculatively, ARP table entries or something related) and becomes deaf to clients. This accretion of network kit isn't standing up to use. The technology committee (wife, youngest son (living here), and members-at-large (11 other family members who visit regularly) have voiced their disenchantment with "the WiFi" and their disappointment with the CIO, CTO, and IT staff-the would be me, and number 2 son who is a frequent contractor). It grew organically and is a mess of patching and workarounds. I am finally going to have to pay the technical debt I accrued over the last few years concerning my home network.ĭespite knowing better, the current network is not designed.
