Hi all,

My tuya ACs broadcast every few seconds to 255.255.255.255 using udp port 6667. I have many of these devices essentially congesting the 2.4ghz band.

I have tried to create an IP-Port group and then an EAP ACL rule to block this traffic but no success so far. To begin with, I cannot add an IP subnet like 255.255.255.255 when creating an IP-Port group.
 

Any ideas?

Only guessing here...  I would create an IP-Port group with the Tuya device subnet and port 6667 and use it as the source in a Deny ACL.  For the destination, I would try IPGroup_Any to see what happens.

 

Side note... Even if you manage to block the broadcast traffic with an ACL, the band congestion will still remain the same as the devices will continue to transmit.
