Hello guys, I need to use my RPi4 as a WiFi bridge for my Philips Hue Bridge V2, which only has Ethernet, so Router -> WiFi -> RPi4 -> Ethernet -> Philips Hue Bridge V2.

I looked up a few guides and most use Network Manager. Since Network Manager came installed, the guide is easy, consists of 2 commands and a 3rd one to check if the bridge is active:

sudo nmcli c add con-name wifibridge type ethernet ifname eth0 ipv4.method shared ipv6.method ignore

sudo nmcli con up wifibridge

nmcli con show

It did work, but the problem is that with shared method, the Pi creates a sub LAN, meaning that the bridge won’t communicate with stuff like Alexa or any devices that control the Philips Hue over LAN.

I need it to make it so it stays on the same LAN as every other device connected to my router. I tried to do it with AI but it didn’t work. Anyone can help?

Hello guys, I purchased a few months ago the Mango to use it as a WiFi bridge for my Philips Hue Hub. It worked, so I didn’t think much about it. Recently tho I tried to connect my Raspberry Pi 4 as well and to my very unpleasant surprise, I realized it would only provide about 1Mbps of internet to the RPi.

Now, the Hue Hub doesn’t need a whole lot of bandwidth, so I’ve never noticed, but I don’t understand why this is happening.

The WiFi signal in the room is very strong (my smartphone, for example, receives about 90% of the total bandwidth compared to Ethernet testing.

I tried both repeater and WDS mode (I have a Flint 2 as a router), but both yielded very poor results.

Tested it on my PC as well. Regular speed test would be 36D/6U Mbps (with SQM), 10 ping and sub 10 download and upload latency.

Why do you think that is?

P.S. When setting it up months ago, I was having issues with devices disconnecting when applying the Network mode, making it impossible to actually apply the settings. After doing some research I found that using a 3.x.x firmware fixed the issue, being the 4.x.x too heavy or something like that. I downgraded and it worked. As a result tho, I have a very old firmware version.

EDIT: I forgot to add, I tested it on my PC as well, same results.

EDIT 2: another thing I forgot to mention.

EDIT 3: I tested it via WiFi and speeds are much better, 17D and 4U. So I guess it's an ethernet only issue

Hello guys, me and my friend just started playing this game but, for some reason, his game keeps crashing. Sometimes to the desktop, sometimes hard crash and he has to force reboot.

I'm the host. He used to crash every now and then while building, but now it got more frequent, making it unplayable. He crashed after pressing TAB to open the inventory. I made him update the drivers and disable the Nvidia overlay (I always try to disable any overlay when game crashes happen).

After rebooting, he tried to join and crashed during the load screen, so it arguably got worse. Didn't try anything else for now, since he got pissed and left.

Is there any known issues that may cause this? I haven't crashed once, and the only reason I can think of, is that I'm the host and multiplayer is broken.

I can try using the dedicated server, but I just started the download so it's going to take me a few hours.

He has a 10GB 3080, 32GB of RAM and a 10700k. I have the same GPU, but paired with a 7800x3D.
