I have a couple of devices running in my home and usually connect to them via ssh if I need them to do something. But since I’ve added my new ASUS router, ssh started to behave weirdly. (All of my devices are connected to the router and the router is connected to my modem/gateway by an Ethernet cable).
Anyway, as mentioned in the title I am unable to connect to all of them. I’ll detail the sequence of errors/problems to the best of my knowledge in order to help you guys help me solve the problem.
First: I have two WiFi dongles, one supporting 2.4GHz, the other supporting both. Initially, I’ve been using the 2.4 dongle on my RPi3 running LibreELEC, but I figured 5GHz would be better since it is rather close to the router and also, why not XD.
But when using the 5GHz dongle I wasn’t able to ssh into the RPi3 on certain devices. I didn’t investigate the problem further, since I had other issues and currently my RPi3 is connected through PowerLAN and I haven’t had any ssh issues thus far.
Today, I started using the 5GHz dongle on a notebook (which I also connected to my 5GHz WiFi) and I had the same problem.
The following devices were able to connect to it:
-
PiHole - Ethernet
-
Notebook - Ubuntu 19.04 WiFi 5GHz native
-
Android tablet - 5GHz WiFi (App: Terminus)
The following devices were not able to connect:
-
Notebook - Manjaro, WiFi 5GHz native
-
Android smartphone - 5GHz WiFi (App: Terminus)
At first I tried deleting my .ssh folder just to be sure, but this didn’t solve my problem. I then decided to switch from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and now everything works fine on my Fedora notebook, but…
Suddenly, I am unable to connect to my Ubuntu notebook, without any reboot on the notebook one but one on my routers side. Again, my tablet, PiHole and Fedora are able to connect but my Manjaro notebook for instance isn’t.
The hang on all three machines started after the password input, here is the output when executing ssh -vvv:
