I've had good service with my Asus system, except for a firmware glitch 2 weeks ago, it's been capable of handling my approximately 62 smart devices (and counting) to date. My security system consists of Reolink Poe and both Wyze and Blink Wi-Fi cams, I dislike the Blinks because of the limited...

Howzit! I strongly urge you to go into your Asus system's settings via the web based GUI and disable the automatic firmware update option for all the devices in your system. I was prepared to "opalacize" my entire system until I stumbled upon a networking forum describing the problem and...

Well, my Asus mesh system has worked just fine for me, except for a recent glitch which was actually caused by the manufacturer's firmware, not the hardware itself. A visit to a network forum quickly revealed that malady, as well the resolution. As long as my smart devices remain connected and...

I am definitely not a network engineer, but if the system works, why screw with it? One does not need to be an engineer to appreciate that, besides I don't have an additional $600 to spend each year for bandwidth which I will never use. Furthermore, I own my current modem, an Arris SURFboard...

Update on my original post: I decided to go with an Asus ET8 mesh system consisting of 2 nodes, one of them is the main router, the other is a wired backhaul node, the system has been in use for 2 or so years now. The router feeds a TP Link unmanaged 16 port switch with 10 dedicated Cat6...

All my previous Ford pickups (5) were special ordered, my 2020 Lariat took the longest to arrive, exactly 5 months, to the day...

Tell me about it... I used to wrench at a Lincoln-Mercury dealership during the mid '70's and worked on new Mercury Monarch's which sometimes had numerous rattle and squeak concerns in the dash and A pillar sections. A can of Rotunda silicone spray was my best friend, for the squeaks at...

ROFL! Prior to Pierre's arrival, there was Leo, a rescue from the local Humane Society, a feral who adopted me. Pierre learned early on to give Leo a wide berth with a few claw extended swipes to his nose from the cat. Leo maintained me on his staff for 22 years... They co-existed just fine...

Mahalo, Yet for his extreme territorial behavior on my property and in my vehicles, Pierre can be a very affectionate canine, if he likes you and does not sense you or anything to be a threat. True to the Frenchie nature, he's a unique personality and can be a playful clown when he wants to...

Not a week goes by without me seeing a car with just it's DRL's on motoring along in the dark with it's ass end in total darkness. It's highly doubtful that these vehicles are rentals, as this is on surface streets which tourist would not regularly travel. Just last week Saturday night I...

So true, however I'm wondering how many people will be killed or severely injured in the meantime... Illuminated instrument clusters whenever the ignition is on add to the false sense of security as well.

A good buddy's daughter was killed in a horrific car crash in CA a couple of years ago. She was a passenger in the back seat of a rented Camry on I5 headed from San Francisco to San Jose. The driver of the rented Toyota was unaware that he was driving at night with just DRL's on, oblivious to...

Using the word "dumb dumbs" is inadequate, these idiots should be referred to as morons instead. I cannot fathom how and why these jackasses think that the reduced light output from their headlights when in DRL mode and driving along nightime is normal. Not to mention the entire ass end of the...

LOL! they actually needed just 1 length of wire if they had rammed each Super Duty's bumper into each other (using that as a ground path)... I remember driving through central Oregon in late '99 in my just delivered '00 Ranger S/Cab on a 4 lane highway. While motoring along at 70 or so I...

Can't get much redder than this...lol

I did exactly the same to my '20 4x2, the steering gear looks to be very vulnerable, even in non-off-road driving...

Or a brand new unladen fire (pumper) truck, you'll want to wear a kidney belt when driving that. In service, but unladen pumpers are better with regards to ride quality...

LOL! Actually many years of beer drinking has precluded that notion, although I am not overly obese (waist size 37), long gone are the days when I weighed 150 lbs. One of the very first mods I did to my 4x2 S/Cab was to install a leveling kit, it raised the front about 2 inches. I don't have...

You are certainly entitled to your opinion...

My first 4 years with the Honolulu Fire Department was spent as a mechanic, when I used to replace the tire and wheel assemblies I'd raise the truck only just high enough so that the tire was 2-4 inches off the ground, 90 % of the tires were 11R22.5's. Each fire truck carried an 8 foot steel bar...
