I’ve never seen that many. What I see is around 10-200 MAC addresses with no IP address. They show up for a while, then go away.
likely unifi is holding on to them longer than your router
I typically only have the filter at 24 hours. But, it tracks them over time and they do come back. You can compare the first seen vs last seen. I really only care about the last seen for the last 24 hours to see if/when it’s occurring.
Bluetooth saved me at one point. 4G was disabled via Yarbo corporate issue and Halow was crap due to a pinched cable. I set an iPad on a stool next to the shop to finish mowing the grassy knoll.
I think you meant WiFi? Yes, it has its purpose. But, generally if HaLow is good, it causes more problems than it solves. In your situation, I would’ve done the same thing. WiFi hotspot and good to go.
For work we often do isolated wifi commissioning networks, so I figured it would be awesome to get a USB high gain antenna for connecting to that network and utilizing the buildings standard wifi network for an active network connection. This would make communicating using WhatsApp, punchlisting, status updates, etc more live, rather than a laggy daily update. During that whole testing I learned about the windows interface metric and there are actually 2, a hardware one and a software one. Does Yarbo have something like this to prioritize the network connections and automatically fall back or why is the network switching “so bad”? I would hope it could, pretty much, seamlessly swap between HaLow and wifi connections or even utilize both if necessary. Bluetooth is a bit more hit and miss, at least it sounds like 4.0 they made pretty good strides but not until 5.1/6.0 will Bluetooth be really good. What hardware/Bluetooth versions are supported by the core and/or DC?
Linux doesn’t do multiple networks well from my experience without a lot of tweaking. I don’t know what BT versions their equipment supports.
Decided to reply to this thread as I experienced something that may contribute here. My internet provider is HFC (cable with coax wired to the house). Coincident with getting my Yarbo up and running we started having trouble with our internet “going out” in that the modem would show it was connected but we were getting no internet on the home network. Power cycling the modem fixed it… temporarily. It would go out at least once a day, but sometimes multiple times a day. I tried just power cycling the router, or the router and switch, etc. but only restarting the modem seemed to help. I had to travel for a week but had my Yarbo running on a schedule while I was gone. During that week my family reported consistent internet outages and had to power cycle the modem each time.
When I got home I called my cable company to see if they can figure out what was going on. They came out and did some tests, and said the signal to the house was a bit inconsistent but still within range. Even so they replaced some parts at the box and inside the house and the signal tests improved. I thought we were good. Shortly after the tech left though, the problem returned.
Tech came back out the next day and replaced a few more connectors inside and outside the house, and said he was getting very clean signal to the modem now and should be all set. Once again, I thought we were good, but the problem soon returned.
This time I decided to eliminate the one factor that was consistent with timing of the problem, the connection of my Data Center to my network. My DC is connected via the PoE dongle, then to a cat5 cable through a switch, then to the router. Because we have villiage wide power outages often in the winter I have Starlink as a backup for when the cable goes out. So what I did was instead of routing the DC through the home network I connected it directly to the Starlink modem, which meant it still had internet but was completely isolated from the rest of the network.
As soon as I did that, the internet connection problems disappeared. I didn’t see anything to indicate that my network was being overloaded when the DC was connected to it, and I have not had any connection issues with Starlink as far as I can tell, but I’m pretty convinced that the DC was causing the problem I was seeing with my internet connection, though I really can’t provide a root cause as to why.
So move it back and see if the problem returns.
Yea… will try when I have a window where we can be offline (voluntarily 
) and will report back.
Yeah I hear you on that. Keep us posted. Curious of your results.
Update: I swapped the networks and put the DC back on my home network. Simple change, just a cable switch from the Starlink modem to my network switch. Here are the details:
- After putting the DC on Starlink I ran it that way for a week (up until yesterday) and no further problems with my internet or my Yarbo.
- Last night I switched back to see if putting the DC back on the network caused the same internet outage I saw before.
- It was fine overnight as far as I know, and no issues this morning.
- I started a Yarbo job this afternoon and after about an hour my internet went down again.
I’ve now switched back to having the DC on Starlink. I’m remain convinced there is something going on with the DC that is causing the problem with my network. Maybe related to running a job where the core is in constant comms with the DC?
Are you able to see MAC address histories, IP address usage, or anything else on your router? I see a bunch of random MAC addresses periodically on my router but some people I believe have seen a bunch of IP’s in use. That could overload the DHCP scope and if your clients can’t renew their IP addresses, it could be one reason for the issues. Is it everything stops working or just random things?
Looking at the logs I don’t see anything really unusual… aside from the wan disconnecting that is. There are some things I can play around with such as my flood settings, etc. And I might be due for a router upgrade anyway (not that I need an excuse to buy new kit ;-). I’ll have to try and root cause this more when I have time. If I discover anything that might be useful I’ll post back.
