Yes, there is a limit of 50 devices by default, so set it as follows:Image
Turris Omnia with OpenWrt 21.02 - Tested
Linksys WRT3200ACM with Gargoyle 1.13.x
TL-WR1043ND v2 with Gargoyle 1.10.0

RomanHK: Thanks for the reply! I had already changed that. It looks like yours (192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.249). I don't think it makes any difference but I also have all my devices listed as Static Assignments, they start at 192.168.1.4 and go up.

So sorry, the limit is really 150 devices. My fault :oops: .

Try to do a test with WMM and without WMM if this is not the result of disabling this feature.

P.S. If the Android device is disconnecting, you may have the sleep function turned on. Check the settings.

If you're using Gargoyle 1.11.0, it has a bug in the Guest WiFi network: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11947 .
Therefore, use the new build 1.11.X from @ispyisail here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=12020

RomanHK: The 1.11.x code seems to have done the trick. All of my networks are now working and by using the set wireless command on my guest network all of my IOT devices are also working. Thanks for all of your help!!! It was painful getting here but I really like this router and Gargoyle.

My thanks also to Lantis and ROG66. You all ROCK!!

Glad you got it sorted - I was really frustrated when I bought my smartsockets and bulbs and it took me several months (and Gargoyle 1.11) to get to this solution - now back to my favourite firmware so very happy :-)

I'm also running into the same issue on this end with the latest Gargoyle build on my WRT32X

I've had to move my dad in with me who has lost their mobility due to a stroke so now I got some smart plugs / switches to enable them to control things from their phone....sadly, I'm experiencing the same kinds of issues with connections dropping / not working.

I have a TP-Link router kicking around with Gargoyle on it as well.

Is it possible to still have my 32X as the "main" router with all the static DHCP assignments and then set up the TP-Link router for my dad so he can access internet via that router and still control the smart switches in the house?

A wired connection makes this easy.
Set the other router to connect via disabled and disable DHCP. Connect a cable to the LAN port and set up wireless with a special SSID.

If wired backhaul is it possible you may need to use bridge mode or DHCP wireless depending on whether you need the same subnet

Please be respectful when posting. I do this in my free time on a volunteer basis.

I want to thank everyone in this thread. I spent over 15 hours trying to figure out why my IOT "Wyze Bulbs" would not activate through this gargoyle router (Linksys WRT32X), but it could on other routers (though SOME other IOT devices would activate and work on this router, just not others). I tried every possible setting change I could, nothing worked. Frustrated to death...

Finally stumbled on this thread, created a guest network and ran the code:

Code: Select all

uci set wireless.ap_gn_g.wmm=0
uci commit wireless
wifi
IT WORKED! The issue is all fixed! After 15 hours of trying basically every possible thing multiple times it finally works! THANK YOU, seriously.

Weird that it doesn't just allow everything to work smoothly like every other router. Is it a Linksys-WRT32X-specific hardware issue, or a general Gargoyle issue that can be fixed in the future? Regardless, at least I can finally use it. THANK YOU!!!
