Hey Nostr, I need some troubleshooting help with my home network as it pertains to my nodes & home miners.

My main computer, start9, umbrel and futurebit are all hardwired to ethernet - which goes directly to my router/wifi hub.

Everything else is wifi from the same hub (bitaxe, nerdaxe, laptop, phones, etc)

I currently cannot view the dashboards of any nodes from any wifi connected device PLUS I can seemingly no longer connect my nerdaxe/bitaxe to a pool despite them successfully connecting to my wifi.

What should I be checking to rectify this?

which router are you using?

They are on different subnets with wired vs widi. You need a switch to hand out IP to all devices instead letting the wifi and modem do them separately

Any idea where these settings might be found?

Without buying new hardware best bet is to try to login to your wifi router and see if you can somehow allow it to use your Ethernet modem to assign the IPs

Another thing you can look into is tail scale which would allow you to access everything through the Internet instead of the LAN

First check ip addreses on your devices

VPN running that blocks internal IP?

Perhaps two different DHCP servers + subnets for wired/WiFi?

I know someone who was having network issues with their nodes. The fix was that the nodes should be routed thru a switch.

I'd first check if your wifi devices are on the same subnet as your wired devices because some routers create a wifi guest network. you can do this by checking the ranges of the IP addresses used. you should be able to ping each other

if the wifi devices are on the same network, then it could mean that the services running in your containers arent accessible because your router doesnt recognize the local domains used, try connecting to the services using IP address+ports instead or add the relevant DNS entries on your router

have you tried putting it on rice over night ?

1. Login to the router to see if you can get into everything. If not, Reboot the router

2. Reconnect everything.

3. Can everything get to the Internet?

4. If not it appear the network split into two segments.

5. Check for updates.

Yo tuve ese problema con Start9. No podia acceder desde wifi a ningun nodo .local.

La solucion fue loguearme en el nodo, cerrar todas las sesiones abiertas y reiniciar el nodo. Ahi volvio todo a la normalidad👍

sounds like your WiFi and Ethernet are on a different subnets. more than likely if your router IP dhcp pool is default, all of the IP addresses on your network will be a 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254, and your subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 or /24. if they are not, setting your dhcp pool to it's default as described will fix this when your devices are reassigned a fresh IP reservation. if this likely default is not what you have and don't want to see it that way, then I would recommend a quick 10 minute video of YouTube to understand subnetting which will teach you the basics. you do not need additional hardware like others have suggested! a switch doesn't deal in IP addresses but MAC addresses

AP isolution is likely on. Check that. If the option is turned off, your Wireless AP is likely malfunctioning. Reboot your router/wireless AP.

Update router firmware.

If your WiFi access point is acting as your firewall/router check to make sure all devices are on the same network if you have a seperate firewall from your WiFi AP make sure your AP is setup in bridge mode. Also make sure your WiFi devices that your trying to connect with are not running with a VPN on which would prevent you from seeing your dashboard.

What’s your experience with the futurebit and are they worth it? I want to learn more about mining and understand it may not really be an economic proposition. I understand it more of an attempt towards mining decentralisation and also a learning experience.
