Greetings from Colombia,
I have our new home wired for automation and have about 70 Sonoff circuits to control. They are located in four clusters, with Wifi APs next to each cluster. Each cluster is on two 110V phases, one with a UPS backup for emergency lighting. The firewall and APs are reserved for the Sonoff only. No other traffic on them.
Things were going well as I was adding switch after switch. They talk to Google home etc.
Then the Firewall, Cisco RV110W, which assigns the IP addresses started crashing. Speaking with Cisco, they say that these SOHO units cannot handle that many clients.
I tried, reserving IP addresses, tried having the APs assign the addresses (dividing the pool of 255 among the four), etc. No use. Sometimes it works for a couple of hours, then it crashes...
An alternative would be to buy a VERY expensive Enterprise router, like the 4331, but for that price I can almost replace every switch with a Aeotec Z-Wave. And, as we're heading into the 5G and wifi6 era, I'm not reluctant going that route...
Has anyone encountered/solved this problem?
Thanks
