"Hey guys, I'm at my wit's end with my smart locks crashing my network. I've got a few locks from August Home and Schlage Sense, and whenever they're connected, my Wi-Fi just freezes up and I've gotta restart my router. Has anyone else experienced this or have some tips on securing my smart home?"

"Dude, have you tried power cycling the lock? Sometimes these devices just need a factory reset to clear out the junk. If that doesn't work, see if there are any firmware updates available for the lock itself."

"Haha, sounds like you've got a pretty sweet (but annoying) smart home setup. I had a similar issue with my Ring camera crashing my router, and I had to downgrade the firmware to fix it. Have you checked for any firmware updates on your lock?"

"Lol, smart locks can be a pain. Have you tried restarting your router and checking for any firmware updates? I had a similar issue with my smart thermostat and it was just a compatibility problem"
