Home server makes Ring cameras drop off Wi-Fi
A small running is connected to an ISP router by . It runs Docker with an , Jellyfin, Gluetun, , and qBit.
The home network has about 18 devices, mostly on Wi-Fi, including several Ring cameras. When the is connected to the router, the Ring cameras go offline and cannot connect again, while wired devices keep working.
When the is unplugged, the network becomes stable again. Heavy file-sharing traffic was suspected, but the server was not actively doing that work at the time.
