sorry if this is out of topic, noticed that since most of my devices connect to the same 2.4 channel, seems like some devices will lag when gaming.

Any potential solution? (other than replacing my router) as I still have bunch of devices to be connected to.

Online gaming? It takes a lot of bandwidth I believe. Some router can set priority on gaming packets.

The devices are on local LAN control. So, I think no other option than to have dual band router, that is if your PC support the 5 GHz. Then you will have separate band for gaming and your devices.

If you do not want to buy new router, then has to wire your PC through LAN. If you are thinking of powerline solution, you might as well buy new modem instead smile.gif

Is only ipad game, which is why i'm curious why such issue, wifi speed can go up to 300mbps though.
Powerline doesn't work for ipad.

Probably not the routers fault. I have about 37 devices on my tplink AC1200. No problems but I didn’t try iPad games. I do have a PS4 though
*
Yes mine Tp-Link ac1200

Probably just the game issue, others is fine, Spotify seems ok too

At this moment, you can do that provided you are using Home Assistant with your Xiaomi gateway and Sonoff switches.
Few members are planning to do that including robert82 and kelembai.
Not sure what is their progress but I am sure it can work.
*
Lol, no progress, i got all my switches for xiaomi aqara and sonoff but electricity no time yet.
Hopefully can be done by end Nov.

Will update by then....

Hello guys, I am considering the Mi smart home system but I think one gateway may not be enough to cover the required area:

1. I suppose we can have multiple gateways in one system right, but must these gateways be in the same wifi network? (my current wifi setup is different floor different wifi)

2. is getting zigbee repeater better option?
*
if my understanding is correct, mi devices can communicate using zigbee without wifi/internet...

wow sweat.gif my plan is to by one aqara switch with neutral to test it out first with the AC switch, if it works then only i will buy more...

qns on aqara wireless switch, if i have an aqara wall switch in my master bedroom and i setup the wall switch (in master bedroom as well) connected to the wireless switch with a gateway, can i switch off/ remove the gateway and the wireless switch can still control the wall switch? thinking how to avoid buying additional gateway.

aqara is weird switch, it is not switch but merely flick type....

Care to elaborate on the "exploded" part?  sweat.gif
Planning to do the same test too...

Don't recommend bro . I'm not convince of this test method

You can test buy leaving both switches u wanna test on . Then turn off each phase in DB
If both off together then you will know
