Next rock continues..
Another, however, is that my main home #router, a #Netgear #Nighthawk #R8000, is now not getting access to the internet through the #ATT router. My phone says, "Cannot provide Internet," and I haven't yet unlimbered my #laptop to actually log in to the routers to see what the hell is going on.
Just in case the old #DLink-645 (running #OpenWRT) has lost it, can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive, 2.4GHz/5GHz home router?
Help?
Thanks!

This week has been hellish. On Tuesday my main house router, a #Netgear #R8000, decided that "to avoid conflict with your #ISP, your router's IP address has been changed to 172.16.0.1." From something in 192.168.*.*. And the "ISP" was its uplink, in 192.168.1.0/24. So, no actual conflict. And the message only appeared on the R8000's Web screen after I figured out its new IPA. Futzing with it caused it to reset itself to 192.168.1.1 (actual conflict!), and 10.0.0.1, and.. Ghu!!
Going to have to upgrade my @Netgear #R8000 (2014, first 6-stream, psuedo-#TriBand #MIMO) #router for, potentially, the #Netgear #RAXE500 (#WiFi6E 12-stream). The old #Nighthawk can't load it's own #admin page while watching @Netflix (basic 720p)... Or #RAX200 (#WiFi6) for a bit of a discount?

So I don't know whether to replace the #Linksys #Nighthawk #R8000 with a higher-end and more capable #router (such as #Ubiquiti, if I could afford such), or go with #repeaters (about the requirements of which I know nothing), or get an additional relatively low-end (read: #affordable) router and put the #IoT devices on a separate #subnet as originally ideated. Or something else. 🤔
Open to suggestions. Please. My #SBH is going spare about not being able to reach the printer.. 🙄🤪😔

As I said, I've got no idea about the #network #hardware, and severely limited funds. If I could have gotten the #DLink running, I would have had it be #DHCP #server for the #IoT devices in a separate subnet, since the #Linksys #R8000 isn't up to the combined task.
The R8000 logs don't even show #association requests for the devices not coming up, so I don't know if it's a #traffic issue or a router limitation.

I'm disappointed that my first foray into #OpenWRT came a cropper; the #DLink DIR-645 I #bricked with it was my main #Wifi #router before I moved up to the #Linksys #Nighthawk #R8000 2.4GHz/5GHz one I'm using now. (Which is having difficulty handling all my normal and #IoT devices, hence looking for alternatives. 😔)
Some #infrastructure-type things (like printers, #Raspi devices, and #PlayStation #consoles 🤣) really *need* to be #hardwired. 🙄😁🤪. #DHCP is giving me the red-arse..
