@#15 ... Checked mine with airmon-ng. No hidden AP, no visible AP from it. It's just connected to the router I use for house stuff. ...
- - - - - If my range worked like that, I'd have no issue.
I'd just configure kea (an excellent dhcp program) to assign an IP to the MAC address of the stove from the sequence that my outbound firewall blocks.
I've already done that with few other appliances on my network (e.g., the DVD player, so it doesn't report back to Sony every DVD I play).
You have several good options:
1. Simplest and safest (likely Sitzkrieg's setup): Buy a [cheap] WiFi6/6e router just for home LAN, set up a different subnet from your [main] router you have now, block / firewall it from outside, then bind all local devices to that WLAN's subnet, assigning static/fixed IP on the WLAN router's subnet to each device's MAC - you can use ARP scripts, router software or whichever DHCP/IPv4 manager you like, to configure static IPs.
NB: clear the IP and ARP caches and make sure you have no dynamic IP addresses on that subnet, and don't use DHCP! It's also best to only use IPv4 for local traffic on WLAN subnets and disable IPv6, unless it's necessary. Disable ARP spoofing on the router.
2. If you have a good srouter, just use a subnet different from the one you're using for WAN traffic, then as above - block / firewall it from outside, and make sure static IPs for WLAN devices are configured and bound to that subnet.
Scan network to make sure you don't have any rogue unassigned, "dynamic" IPs, ping assigned IPs to make sure they are responsive and not blocked. You're done.
