Hi there, I'm looking for led WiFi led controllers that will work with my P9 network. I've tried the cheapo Magic Home units that are widely available under a variety of names, but they connect for a while and then freeze (there is an existing thread about these with no resolution). 

 

So has anyone successfully used any other type of led controller (or got the Magic Home ones to work reliably).

@Stricko 

Good day,

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

 Maybe you could have a look at our own LED strip:

@Stricko It's a strange thing to be doing on Xmas day I know but I hate a unresolved technical issue. So I was wondering if any other mesh networks were having a similar problem with the Magic Home controllers.

 

And bingo. Found this on an eero forum

 

Take the controller PCB out of its case! It seems like the power and or receiver wires pass over the WiFi antenna on the PCB. Move the wires away and the WiFi connection stays stable
