i understand how ozak feels.
Just now, after dinner, i just came home, first thing i noticed my Samsung IP Cam has a blue light on when it should be green, meaning it is not connected.

unlocked the door, went inside and found my gateway flashing blue as well. took out my iPon, no wifi at all. Cant even see my SSID

later found out that my router changed both my SSID to the default. Even admin password changed to default. WTF?!

had to put back my SSID for everything to work. So imagine no WIFI - everything down....lol

Depend, sometime ddos will reboot the router, crash the router, or halt the router and they can gain access. Or Maybe is just hardware issues

Anyway, I never like tp-link, d-link and many of the taiwan/china brand. TP-Link waste bandwidth. https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/tplink-aggressive-ntp

Prepare to change router liau la. Already sot sot. Coming will be more problem.

I have been manage my server network in home for 10yrs. Makesure it run 7/11. Deal with all this trouble of router go crazy, spoil, lightning damage, server kong, offline, speed slow, .. bla bla bla.

So you see tired or not. 

That is the reason why I don't fully go home automation.

Somemore now many device have to cloud on foreigner country to work. (Really don't understand why need it) 1 day hijack my home and have to camp outside.

I kena ddos before from the farker PRC before. Try to hack my server. But doesn't effect the router or reset the server.

Just the speed slow down.

You need a good wifi router if you want stability for 24/7, Asus is good but pricey, you get what you paid for.

Why would these home automation go cloud? simple, they want your data, imagine they collect temp/humidity/location/power/motion usage for each household, this kind of big data really worth billion!

Wah, your banglo too big huh. Normal wifi cannot cover whole ?

Is it same as a wifi repeater?

I have this apple airport express. Same as such function. No more using. Want to sell it away.

It’s not the same as Wi-Fi repeaters. Anyway I dunno much about networking things so better don’t comment too much 😅

I also sold my Airport Express already. Last time used for travels now no need liao

If you have multiple AP and you move from one AP coverage to another, you will get disconnected and re-establish the connection with another AP. In mesh AP, the network is like your cellular phone connection. You will not get disconnected but smoothly handover your connection to another AP in case of LAN.
