Hi folks, hoping I'm doing something stupid here and there's a solution because it's slowly driving me mad!
I've got various items wired into my network setup and if I leave them on DCHP automatic IP allocation they seem to either join the LAN range 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.5.1. Anything on the range 192.168.5.1 talks ok to my iPhone on WiFi which connects to the Tenda mesh system which uses 192.168.5.xx range. Anything on the range 192.168.0.xx is very intermittent as to whether it'll talk to my phone.
Basic diagram below. An example would be I've had to set all the Reolink cameras to static IPs on the 192.168.5.xxx range so I can view them on my phone via wifi, if they're on the 192.168.0.xxx range they won't load. Same with the Sky box and the sky go app, it'll only recognise the box if I set it to a static IP on 192.168.5.xxx etc.
This never used to be an issue until recently and now I've had to go through everything on the network and set it to a static IP which isn't the end of the world but it all used to work on automatic IP allocations so I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere that I need to tweak to make it all just 'work' without static IPs?
Much appreciated for any suggestions!
