nutmac swpalmer Are you using Apples Private WiFi address plus a VPN along with Private Relay? Sometimes when new or recently deleted Apple device tries to get back on the Network it sees each of these as separate devices. These all shown up  pretty much at the same time for 1 phone and 1 iPad I had to keep blocking my devices till I could figure out which one was actually correct. If you’re using macOS with VPN, Private WiFI and Private Relay you might trying to set your Mac with a Static Address.

No. 
In fact the iMac already has a fixed IP, but the name is not resolved. I can just repeat the same command (e.g. ping iMac.local) several times and it will start resolving the name. 

Sdworman tried three and none gave more information than the signal strength indicator on my phone

Biglouie69 What have you tried?  I use one from farproc and it works flawlessly in residential and commercial spaces.

Sdworman Thanks for the information.  I tried the first three (of over 70) that show up on AppStore.  Apple might not feature the apps in the same order each time.  Anyway, thanks for the suggestion as it is a more robust set of tools than I had seen.

Biglouie69 apple is limited in how the apps work.  Most of these apps don't work well or at all on Apple devices.

Sdworman Do you recommend any? I only know of Wireshark for Mac. Are there any iOS ones?

I have ektocity smart plugs dropping off network then reset to no avail.  Constantly dropping off, I bought different brands and still dropping.  Have to continue to reset them... I'm tired of having to reset and it doesn't do any good, within a day they are dropped again.  I've had MY ISP ON PROPERTY and THEY SAY ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM.  The ISP is working properly.  EERO HAS done something recently that has created a problem with all the smart devices dropping off.  EERO WHY DONT YOU FIX the PROBLEM!!

Retiredrr exactly.  Same issue.  I tried different brands, they said turn off WPA3 all that  did was drop off existing things I already had connected like one of my laptops.  
 

Now I am back to having service drops almost hourly.   Mostly on my phone.  It’ll say it’s connected but just load and load.  My Fing network monitor keeps popping up with connectivity issues.  
 

im so sick of this.  If I had the money I’d get something different.   I’m buying a wireless card and plan to put these things into bridge mode and hosting my network through PF sense until I can find something better.

I am right there with you,  I'm sick and tired of this.  EERO has done something RECENTLY that has caused this problem and they will not admit it nor take responsibility for it.  EERO needs to step up to the Plate and resolve the ISSUE!!  If I had the money I'd be Leaving and LOOKING FOR ANOTHER NETWORK RESOLUTION!!

Paratel Paratel create a profile and set time limits on that. Then assign any devices you want to limit to that profile. I use this to limit my kids devices.
