I thought a new thread would be best... Didn't want to deny someone of some well earned EZ-Bucks...
Have a problem... Similar to Dave's problem and I was going to add to his thread instead of making a new one... Anyway... Both my EZB4 will connect to the network no problem, however ARC can only find one of them at a time... meaning I cannot have more than one ezb4s connected to ARC at any given time. The scan tool will only find one ezb... usually the first one powered on... Long story short and judging by what Dave went through I am guessing its a router issue... I have an all in one router/moden ... an SMCD3GN from SMC.... I rent it from my local cable company by the way... So my question is should I turf it and just use a modem from them and then buy my own router?... Also need to mention that I barely get 30ft from the router when I start to get disconnect problems so range sucks...
Thanks Richard
Awesome Dave thanks...
If you run rwo, they need to be on different subnets or you will have conflicts with having two dhcp servers on the same network. Data may or may not be able to cross the networks (your new one will be able to get internet from the old, but devices on one may not see devices on the other. My fios router does allow cross device traffic, but technically 192.x.x.x traffic should not be routable between routers, so I consider myself lucky).
Thanks Alan.... No biggie, I will disable my current wifi and run exclusively off of the new one... At least until I learn more about network settings and such...
I normally leave them on the same network and allow them to hand off to each other. I actually have one of these on one side of my house and another on the other side. Somewhere in the middle, the device is handed off to the other access point. It is seamless and very quick. I can walk the the property line of my city lot and have 100% coverage from curb to the back fence and from side fence to side fence. That may be over kill for you but I plan on using it to build a mower one day and allow it to be on Wifi.
@d.cochran... That's the coverage I want too... I am also planning to build a robot mower at some point... Need a few more ezbs first...
If you have a large yard, Engenius also sells some outdoor AP's but unless you have 3 acres or so, this would be overkill. Check em out. We have gone to these in my office also. It is a sizable office (4 floors and about 2000 offices. They work well.
@RichardR, I have a suggestion to you. I remember reading somewhere that some wifi items would interfere with the ezb wifi. So, I disconnected all wifi units but the ezbs. Next, I connected and found both of the ezbs. They then worked as expected. I really did not need the other wifi units, so I just left them off.
