The other day my WiFi network went down and with it, I lost access to my Zigbee network?* Is this normal or is this a sign of a massive issue?

*When I checked the Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant, all devices showed as unavailable.

Like, if a neighbor's Internet loses connection, yours goes down?

So if my internet goes down because there's an area fault, I can't, for example, scream movies from my NAS, because the router just refuses all connections. It's infuriating. Especially as the local Internet drops constantly due Virgin selling over capacity.

Is it worth it to double-NAT, and run a router between your internal network and their internet box? Then your router is doing the internal routing and possibly DNS too. It’s not perfect, but it might be worth it if the internet drops that much.

This is my plan. I'm gonna get a NanoPi to do the routing.
