ESP8266 Community Forum

- Thu Mar 30, 2017 2:07 pm #64411 Hello,

As a noob I would appreciate any of help. Here is my issue.
I use an esp8266 with NodeMcu firmware and a script in LUA in order to use it as an internet switch for the boiler of my home. I use the server of iot-ph.com and the LUA script I use was dowloaded from their site.
The router I have in my home is the NETFASTER IAD2.
Everything is perfect with tthe esp8266. Stable connection, immediate responce, everything fine...
The problem is that when the esp8266 connects to the router, all LAN connections (desktop computer, 2nd desktop computer and IPTV decoder) stop working, also router can not be accessed via 192.168.2.1 any more.
The funny thing is that all WIFI connections continue to work perfect (laptop, smartphone, tablet and off course the esp8266).
I tried to give static IP to esp8266 but the LAN problem remained.
Any suggestions???

make sure to operate esp only in station mode and disable accespoint mode.

thank you for your reply.
I have tried that already, with that command

wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)

but the LAN issue insisted, any other ideas??
Does this LAN situation happen to any other member??
Is it a "known issue"??
