hi there! i have devolo magic 2 lan and wifi 6. it works really well, with full speed. ive also cloned wifi to develo, but.... i noticed that whenever i switch between my mobile and other devices like the philips hue bridge, i lose connection instantly. the only fix is to restart the router. even worse, last night when this happened, i had to re-setup internet for both my consoles (lan) and my mobile too. what do you think is wrong? thank you

I'm currently working and the Philips Hue app isn't connecting to my lights anymore. I wonder if it's a problem with the router?

just to be sure, it's really only the Philips Hue app that won't work when trying to connect.

I am going to test my Philips Hue bridge. I have turned off the automatic IP address setting on the bridge.

No need for little separate posts. The thing is, a Phillip Hue Bridge? I've also cloned my wifi to develop some stuff, but..... Cloned? Go check if there are duplicate IP addresses. Update your post with your full system specs and OS info plus more details about where you're working. How many network devices do you have and how connected they are (wired or wireless)? Do some methodical testing and observations to narrow down the problem either directly or by elimination. FYI: https://www.techhive.com/article/63...t-...oblem.html

Last night, I turned on the out of home control in the Philips Hue app and I turned off the Wi-Fi from my Devolo Magic 2. Nothing happened yet. Today I am going to turn back on the Devolo Wi-Fi and see if something happens again. Thanks to @Ralston18 for the Hue article.
