GenghisKen Coar<p>Next rock continues..</p><p>Another, however, is that my main home <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/router" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>router</span></a>, a <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Netgear" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Netgear</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Nighthawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nighthawk</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/R8000" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>R8000</span></a>, is now not getting access to the internet through the <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/ATT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ATT</span></a> router. My phone says, &quot;Cannot provide Internet,&quot; and I haven&#39;t yet unlimbered my <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>laptop</span></a> to actually log in to the routers to see what the hell is going on.</p><p>Just in case the old <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/DLink" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DLink</span></a>-645 (running <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/OpenWRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenWRT</span></a>) has lost it, can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive, 2.4GHz/5GHz home router?</p><p>Help?</p><p>Thanks!</p>
GenghisKen Coar<p>This week has been hellish. On Tuesday my main house router, a <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Netgear" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Netgear</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/R8000" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>R8000</span></a>, decided that &quot;to avoid conflict with your <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/ISP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ISP</span></a>, your router&#39;s IP address has been changed to 172.16.0.1.&quot; From something in 192.168.*.*. And the &quot;ISP&quot; was its uplink, in 192.168.1.0/24. So, no actual conflict. And the message only appeared on the R8000&#39;s Web screen after I figured out its new IPA. Futzing with it caused it to reset itself to 192.168.1.1 (actual conflict!), and 10.0.0.1, and.. Ghu!!</p>

GenghisKen Coar<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ruby.social/@baweaver" class="u-url mention">@<span>baweaver</span></a></span><br />As I said, I&#39;ve got no idea about the <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/network" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>network</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hardware</span></a>, and severely limited funds.

GenghisKen Coar<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ruby.social/@baweaver" class="u-url mention">@<span>baweaver</span></a></span><br />I&#39;m disappointed that my first foray into <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/OpenWRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenWRT</span></a> came a cropper; the <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/DLink" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DLink</span></a> DIR-645 I <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/bricked" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bricked</span></a> with it was my main <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Wifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Wifi</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/router" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>router</span></a> before I moved up to the <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Linksys" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Linksys</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Nighthawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nighthawk</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/R8000" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>R8000</span></a> 2.4GHz/5GHz one I&#39;m using now.
