Get HA working on WIFI internally

Configuration
1

Hi guys,

just switched to BRSK 2gig. Fixed IP.

I am setting up a Home Assistant system.

I cannot connect on the internal setting via wifi.

Using AI it states

Based on your router info, you have a Nokia/Sagemcom router (model SGQB4200000024) provided by BRSK. This is a common fiber router.

For this router model, try these steps:

  1. Access the router admin panel:
    • Go to router login
  • Login (default is usually on a sticker on the router)
  1. Look for DNS settings in these locations:
    • Network → DHCP → Static DHCP/DNS
  • Advanced → DNS Server
  • LAN → DHCP Server → Static Leases
  1. If you find “Static DNS” or “DNS Hosts” option:

Are there any settings I am missing ( I know this is not the forum for the router)

But what am I missing here please.

I set the internal ip address and SSID but can only connect vis 4g on iphone

  • What DHCP-Range are you using? (What is configured on the Router?)
  • What does your HA terminal say when you are connecting it to hdmi on a monitor?
  • Are you using guest wifi?
  • Which device are you using to access the HA-Instance?
  • What are you typing into the browser-Adressbar?
  • “i set the internal ip adress” → where? in you HA or on your router?
  • So you have external access via WAN? Do you have configured port forwarding or how is it accessible?

You are leaving out so many relevant parts.

Besides AI being worthless, using WIFI for any server, and HA is a server, is not a good idea. Servers need continuous connection to the network which a wired connection gives you. WIFI connections are not continuous and you are prone to see delays and interruptions as other devices are sharing the same RF bandwidth channel interrupting each other.

I did not see what server you are running, but if it’s a raspi there are other issues using HA and WIFI. https://github.com/home-assistant/developers.home-assistant/blob/migrate-os-docs/docs/operating-system/network.md#enabling-wi-fi. https://github.com/home-assistant/developers.home-assistant/blob/migrate-os-docs/docs/operating-system/network.md#enabling-wi-fi
If When you come back for help here, please let the person helping know your server is on WIFI.

AI is generally not usefull with HA.

HA can not be set up on WiFi easily on first run.
There is no easy way to set the WiFi credentials in HA needed in order to actually get a connection to the AP.

You can set it up if you know the CLI commands or you can set it up through the GUI if you run it on wired connection until WiFi is configured.

As said a server, like HA, should be on a wired connection.
It is designed so you will rarely need physical access to the box or need a monitor and keyboard connected.
Those things are for when the server have issues and you do not have access to the GUI over the network.
