This post is discriminatory toward older people. People’s age has nothing to do with this problem; it’s a matter of knowledge. Surely there are surgeries that a 70-year-old neurosurgeon can perform better than the people in this post, or at least than me.
I am 65 years old and manage my Wi-Fi network and more than 100 IoT devices in my home, with different technologies and different brands.
With my HomePod mini or my more than 60 Aqara devices, I never had this problem. However, with some of the first Meros devices with Matter, they would actually tell me that my phone was on a different Wi-Fi network, even though it wasn’t.
I turned off Multi-Link Operation (MLO) on the modem and the problem was solved. If the modem expects my 2.4 GHz IoT device to operate in Multi-Link, that’s when the problem occurs.
So I think it’s a problem with the modem’s MLO mode management or the knowledge of the person managing the modem, regardless of their age. I believe Eero is already working to resolve this issue. At least, that’s what they told me in the ticket I sent them.
