It came, but some shows are recording over the internet soon. I can set it up, but not put it where I want it. Not until the TV shows are done recording.
I’ll put the old one in my bedroom, can use it for the fan. It hasn’t locked up yet, since changing the channel on WiFi AP.
You don’t need a shitty account, or their shitty app to add it to Home. Scan the QR code, the app told me how to do it. I didn’t want to make an account.
Something used a randomized MAC address to connect, probably the surge protector. You need to connect to 2.4 GHz WiFi to get it connected, nobody likes 5 GHz I guess.
Says not responding, just added firewall rule, to let Apple TV connect to it. Guess that didn’t make it happy yet. Or is it trying to use IPv6? Well, good job Apple, for being a dick. Guess I should turn IPv6 off on WiFi then.
Probably have to allow it internet, or add a rule to allow it on WiFi firewall. If I allow it internet, all I have to do, is add the IP to the list. Might need to update it’s firmware anyways, hopefully it can do so without their shitty app.
I’d reckon, it ain’t even trying to connect to it over IPv4, Apple is a fucking dick, defaulting to IPv6 on your local network.
You have to use their app to update firmware, but you don’t have to sign in.
Good luck disabling IPv6 on the AP itself. At this point, it would be easier to add it to Homebridge. Might have to reset AP though. Have a backup, but might be outdated.
I have to SSH to the router to disable on there, pain in the asshole. Not to mention, the 5 GHz won’t get any IPv6 either in that case. I was going to disable it for everything on AP, to see if it would work, then eventually make a new LAN with just the other radio. It changed the fucking IP address on the AP again, it has too many MAC addresses. And rebooting it, changed the MAC address back, nice. Now to reboot it yet again.
I might just have to re add the surge protector to Home though.
And Orange Pi Zero lost it’s connection. Had to restart the radio.
Easy to break the WiFi on this AP. Rebooted AP, but it’s possible the surge protector is kicking the Orange Pi Zero 2 off somehow. It isn’t plugged in right now, the surge protector. Going to watch TV instead.
And the Orange Pi Zero 2 might only stay connected if “Enable key reinstallation (KRACK) countermeasures” is enabled. Yet my phone wouldn’t reconnect with that enabled, somebody said to disable it.
The randomized MAC address was my Apple Watch. Surge protector works now, I did two things, put it in living room, but also disabled QoS on the AP for the 2.4 GHz, it was limited to like 300 KB/s down or something.
And that setting isn’t why the Orange Pi Zero 2 keeps disconnecting, it’s disconnected again. Guess it’s a bad channel. Maybe more power is needed for 5 GHz? As soon as internet came back, surge protector not responding. Probably IPv6 then.
Oddly I can ping the Orange Pi Zero 2 IP from the router, but it isn’t connected to VPN.
Not sure the problem is IPv6, as if I allow communication, it doesn’t work still. So with an internet connection, and it should be allowed internet access, it doesn’t work. Maybe blocking it from DNS will fix it? Nope.
So it only works if the internet is off?
Maybe it doesn’t like being on it’s own VLAN, so maybe Apple TV isn’t connecting by IP. No worries, going to use Homebridge. Rebooting phone, didn’t try that yet. Don’t know the UUID, so can’t use that plugin.
It’s using MDNS. And it might finally work, had to open the MDNS port to router, for the reflector thing. But that will show the IP of many things on wired network. Oh well. Can’t connect to most anyways.
Is internet back online yet? Was turning on and off the wrong outlet. And it’s back online.
Fucking MDNS crap. That’s why Homebridge is better. It connects directly to IP. Hmm, but does the device? There’s no firewall rule allowing the device to connect to anything though, it’s now blocked from the internet.
Update
If you block IPv6 across VLANs, don’t leave the MDNS reflector on. If you do, some stuff won’t work anymore. Like my cameras. If I connect to my VPN, it might. But the surge protector still works after disabling the MDNS port.
If you can disable IPv6 on your iPhone, that might work too. Looks like you can’t, bummer.
Probably once the surge protector reconnects to WiFi, it won’t work anymore. Now to disconnect it from WiFi and see what happens.
I need MDNS that doesn’t show the IPv6 address.
And just as expected, it’s not responding again.
Is it repeater or reflector? It’s using the repeater.
You might have to disable IPv6 on both networks, not just the WiFi VLAN.
To fix it, use dns-sd. I found instructions here, and you don’t need to be on WiFi to run it. It’s relaying just the new surge protector.
iNet Network Scanner can show info on it too, like the port.
IPv6 re enabled on WiFi, and everything still works, nice. Now I know how to connect to my iPhone without using WiFi. If I want to back it up or sync it. The phone will be using WiFi, just not my Mac mini.
I think you can use avahi-publish in Linux. And that only does local stuff I think. You need a proxy.
So can’t get iPhone working, I think the Mac mini has something that needs to be on the other network. Guess I’d have to connect to WiFi, or use a USB cable.
You could use something to else to make a proxy, or forward the port. But that’s a pain in the ass. And you have to know if it uses TCP or UDP.
