I’ve had a similar experience when I used to have an eero mesh router. My devices kept randomly disconnecting from wifi and their tech support was blaming a smart light somewhere in the vicinity that’s causing it (lived in an apartment at the time). I don’t own a smart light and there was no such device connected to my network.
And how did you know that none of your neighbors had smart lights?
I never said none of my neighbors had smart lights. I said there was no smart light connected to my router as far as I could see into its interface/settings.
My point is that there clearly could still be smart lights in the vicinity.
This could mean that they eavesdrop on your router.
ZigBee (home automation protocol) operates on 2.4 GHz just like WiFi.
They could have guessed that there is a smart light or maybe they were able to look it up on your router.
Yeah as far as I could tell there wasn’t any smart light (or unknown/untrusted device for that matter) authenticated to my router, so if they saw some random IOT device, they had some type of access. Maybe the smart light was interfering with the 2.4GHz band for some reason. Anyhow, I sold that router after a couple of days of not being able to resolve it with support, and I moved on to an openwrt router.
