I can switch between the different locations in the Hue App under Settings - Hue Bridges and control the linked lamps there. I have to be on the same (W)LAN to do this. You can also set up a remote connection to access the Hue Bridge(s) from the internet via meethue.com.
I would try a reset. It's the little button on the back that has to be pressed with a needle.

Yes, this is the v2.
Yes, but a relatively short one, about 50cm if I remember correctly.

Hi Alberto, I downloaded Alexa via an Android phone. (APK Store) and on Iphone you have to change the Appstore to Germany. The control of the Hue devices works flawlessly via Alexa. Have fun))
This is possible in the software or app yes

I searched Reddit yesterday. Apparently the bridge hung up during an update and is unusable for this reason. I have now ordered a new bridge and hope that this will solve the problem.

The bridge can be operated with a PoE splitter (e.g. Edimax GP-101SF) on 5V.

You can't use more than one Brige with the same account. You would have to re-pair the Brige in the app every time you switch. But the range is usually sufficient because each lamp acts as a repeater. So maybe you need to put another lamp in the stairwell to control the lamps upstairs.

The Philips Hue Bridge requires a power supply unit with an output voltage of 5 V DC and a current of 600 mA. The appropriate power supply unit is normally included in the scope of delivery. If you can no longer find it, you can buy a replacement power supply with these specifications.

You can use the Philips Hue Bridge and the associated lamps at home despite the lack of WiFi, but there are some limitations: - The Bridge must be connected to your router, even if there is no active internet available. This enables local control of the lights within your network. - You can control the lamps, adjust their brightness and colour temperature and switch them on and off as long as the bridge and the lamps are on the same network. - Automations, such as automatically switching on and dimming the lights at sunset and sunrise, can work without an internet connection if these rules are already stored in the Bridge. However, some functions will not work without an internet connection, such as remote connections, security updates and learning new accessories in some cases. So if you only have a mobile hotspot that you only use occasionally, you can use the Bridge's local control functions as soon as you are on the same network. However, it is advisable to connect to the Internet occasionally to ensure that all functions and updates are working properly.

Yes, the range of a Philips Hue Bridge can be extended by using an additional bridge. - A single Hue Bridge can connect up to 50 lights and accessories and has a range of around 25 metres indoors and 291 metres outdoors. By adding more Hue lights, which act as repeaters for the Zigbee signal, the range can be extended within the home. - For larger homes or if the range of a single bridge is not sufficient, a second Hue Bridge can be installed. This makes it possible to strategically divide the lights between the bridges, for example one bridge for the upper floor and one for the basement. The lights can then be switched between the bridges in the Philips Hue app.

You can switch off DHCP for the bridge in the Phillips Hue app under Network settings. Maybe then it will work.

You can connect the Hue Bridge via Lan cable. Philips Hue requires online access with your own account. Once the bridge has been set up, you can also operate it without the Internet. However, no further firmware updates will be available.

Ja die zweite Generation kann das. https://www.philips-hue.com/de-de/explore-hue/works-with/matter
to my knowledge it only works with wi fi if it does not arrive it does not work
As far as I understand the Hue system, all components are only integrated via the bridge. Configuration is done via WiFi but function only guaranteed with ZigBee connection to the bridge. Due to the distance, you will need an additional bridge for the ground floor. The only problem is that you can't integrate two Hue bridges with one account for remote access. Philips promises to fix this over time. Function within the home WiFi network is not a problem. Attention - no more than 40 (50?) components per bridge!
The Hue Bridge is connected using a network cable and communicates with the lights via Zigbee. No updates can be installed without the internet. You mainly need the WLAN so that the Hue environment can be controlled via the app. This will not work with a mobile hotspot.
The bridge can only be connected via LAN cable. It does have a WLAN module, but this is deactivated and can only be activated by modifying the device, which will void the warranty.

It's a pity that Philips introduced this after all. I suspect that they have covered themselves for such changes in their terms and conditions. If you want to take a look for yourself, I've picked them out for you: https://www.philips-hue.com/de-ch/support/legal/terms-conditions
Have a look at the all4hue software, you can use it to make backups and restore the settings. But if your current bridge is defective and you don't have access, you won't be able to avoid a new configuration after replacing it.
Hoi Deadpool - I meant that it is sufficient to install the app and the corresponding lights can also be set in a separate account. Greetings and have fun! christoph
I had a similar problem. I removed all the lights and reinstalled them. Since then I have had no more problems. Good luck!!!
Actually, if I remember correctly, you only have to confirm peering by pressing the button on the bridge.
