23.1 Legacy Series / Re: Android Phone and Home Assistant Connection Issues - Temporarily Fixed by Reboot
« on: April 21, 2023, 06:44:12 pm »
I won't pretend to understand how or why, but apparently this issue was somehow being caused by my Comcast rental modem. Why did rebooting OPNsense temporarily fix it? No idea, but that red herring cost me a shitload of wasted time.
I replaced the Comcast modem with a new MB8611 modem, and sure enough this goddamn API issue went away! Unfortunately the new modem also brought my upload speeds down from 100Mbps to about 2Mbps. 🤦♂️ I just can't win. Temporarily back on the Comcast modem since I'd rather have the API issue on some devices than garbage upload speed on everything. I'm just happy to finally know where the issue is coming from, even if I can't comprehend how a bridged modem could be causing a problem like this. Gonna return the MB8611 and get an Arris S33, hopefully that will do better with upload speed.
