When I first installed HA, it automatically found my Netgear router and added a card in the UI which showed a bunch of network statistics. Great. I never gave it another thought.
Today I changed to a TPLink router, and I can’t figure out how (or if) I can get similar information displayed. I don’t even know where to look.
Thanks, there’s a UPnP option in the router setup. I turned it on, but it doesn’t seem to do much. It looks more like a way to use UPnP to map port routing for other internal hosts, not that the router uses UPnP itself.
UPnP doesn’t show up as a service or in HA, although my old router entities show up in the entity registry, “unavailable.” So I’m not sure if there’s anything I need to do to trigger a new search.
And then did you try to remove the old (use the trash icon on the top right if I’m correct) and then configure the new one?
Are you using for the moment the two router at the same time on your network? Is the new one the default router on your network?
No, the old ones are still there. I may install the old router somewhere else some day. Right not I’m just using the new one. It is the only router on my network.
FYI, I ended up deleting my home-assistant_v2.db file for another problem, and now when I start HA I get a notice that it’s detected the new UPnP/IGD integration.
However, I also found that the router data was really filling up my database. It was up to 3G at one point. So I’ve decided I really don’t need that level of detail about my network traffic.
