My biggest gripe is that you can't tell a device not to be a router. I have some devices that just aren't very reliable, but advertise themselves as router in the network and I'd much rather be able to ban them from doing that :/

I'm saving this for reference as Zigbee has stopped working for me and I haven't had time to troubleshoot it (probably just order a longer dongle extension for starters).

We all want a longer dongle extension, brother.

Do you have any Hue bulbs paired into your zigbee network? Mine work really well as additional routers.

I'm all in in IKEA bulbs.
