Unfortunately, Ruida has never fixed their TCP stack…
Fortunately, its easy to resolve by placing the Ruida controller in its very own subnet and then using a very cheap little router to do the address translation between the “compromised Ruida Network” and any other PROPERLY configured network.
You do not need any proprietary hardware/software (lightburn bridge kit) to do this. …and you do not need to change your communication protocols. This works straight up with the default Lightburn TCP stack (UDP) and lightburn just thinks its talking to the Ruida directly (even though its simply pointed at the TCP address for the router)
I simply have the tiny, cheap router stuck to the side of my laser (right next to the ethernet port) using double sided tape. Done.
I posted a very simple solution which is working flawlessly in this thread: https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/anyone-know-has-the-ruida-firmware-ever-been-updated-to-fix-their-network-limitation/151129/9
