According to the troubleshooting website, alternating white and orange indicates a firmware update in progress. However, I have manually updated all four routers and the alternating lights are still ongoing. I have 34 devices connected to my routers (nearly all Wyze) and they are all accessible via the app, so it seems that the internet connection is still functioning. I’m running out of ideas here.
Anyone from the Wyze development team around?
After my testing yesterday I’ve come to the conclusion that bridge mode doesn’t work when you need to use a wireless back-haul. While in bridge mode yesterday my satellite nodes were continuously on and offline in the app and the light would periodically switch from white to orange (red?) at the same time. I haven’t determined why this doesn’t work but I it doesn’t. I suspect it could be less than ideal connections between the nodes or perhaps something to do with default routes since the satellites have to go through the root router to get to the internet via my main router.
The alternating light (white/red/white) has nothing to do with a firmware upgrade, just a failing internet connection.
Thanks to the assistance of the Wyze router engineering team, I seem to have an answer. The firewall rules on my main router were blocking pings (ICMP) to the lan port on the ubiquiti ER-10x for my IoT subnet. Once I put a rule in place to allow pings, the alternating lights and offline conditions stopped.
Waiting for a hoped for explanation from @Herman as to why this is needed.
Oh cool. I’m glad they figured it out at least. I would not have expected that.
Still hoping to get some explanation as to why that created such a problem. Really glad they solved it.
So you now have 4 Wyze routers in bridge mode using your ubiquiti as the main router/dhcp/etc? Are the Wyze routers all wired or one wired and 3 wireless?
Exactly…
Question for you – have you run any speed tests on WiFi attached devices?
I have been using my mesh routers in bridge mode (wired) and my 4-port Gigabit Security Router with VPN is my connection to the ISP. If I run a speed test on wired devices on my network, I’m getting my 1,000 Mbps. However, if I disconnect my laptop and run a speed test over WiFi … 100 Mbps. 10% of the speed.
Are you noticing the same behavior?
What WiFi card do you have? Many can’t reach speeds over 100mb.
Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX211* (Gig+)
I have connected on other high-speed networks well over 100. Good question though 
This seems related to the topic I just created. Bridge mode Wi-Fi speeds seem to suffer for no apparent reason. I am using a Intel Wifi 6E AX210 wifi card and my fold 7 cell phone to test. Same results.
Wyze Pro Router Bridge Mode - significant wifi performance impact - Home - Wyze Forum
Ok guys new here a this kinda thing but Based off the conversation you were having and the topic I just can’t seem to find it fits. I have a Google home wifi mesh network running off ac1304.. Network is fine for everything except my cameras and IoT stuff. I have a wyze mesh router pro that I would either like to find a way to interact with my current mesh network or if at all possible turn on bridge mode and have it act as a connection point in 2.5. Trying to find anything on this is drawing blanks for me, and running wires is not possible.. Any ideas? Or should I say screw it and not even bother?
I don’t have the pro…but I am running in bridge mode. I have ONE Wyze router wired to my network and the other five communicate via wifi. You’ll need to connect your main Wyze router via ethernet cable to the rest of your network. It won’t connect via wifi.
