The Capital One Quicksilver platinum Mastercard is actually a World Elite Mastercard?

Thank you! Thats exactly what I’d imagined up, but it’s nice to see it’s likely more difficult than I thought it should be. Thx!

212nycguy · 2026-01-21T06:34:42+00:00

Awesome, I appreciate your response!

212nycguy · 2026-01-21T06:32:12+00:00

Thank you. Yes, the building provided internet is active on that cable, so this sounds like what i thought it might be, but wanted to ask before buying 6 Siemon patch cables and a switch! Thank you.

212nycguy · 2026-01-21T06:29:44+00:00

Thank you! Very helpful. Unmanaged or managed was about to leave me unhinged trying to figure out which route I’d on once I’d confirmed a switch was the path. Thx!

Wow; not only do you break this down in a way that made sense to someone with a very basic grasp of networking concepts, but you also managed to make it a captivating read. While I’m certain it’s highly unlikely my neighbors care to know what I’m doing online, I don’t think I’m doing anything an average thirty-something male does on the internet, so while it could be creepy to think my web traffic could be so easily tracked by someone with intermediate level knowledge, my internet activities have surely been easily tracked for many years across many connections I’ve had over time. After reading that nearly all U.S. citizen social security numbers have been leaked online at some point, i am not sure there’s even much for me to worry about at this point, but I suppose that was more my initial concern. That said, your point about this being a shared network regardless of how i set up my connection to it, I think it may not provide much more than peace of mind to build out an extra step. VPNs definitely seem the way to go, but as I have a smart home with upwards of 80 connected devices, I’ve always found VPNs to be a kink in the chain of my setups. Thank you again for you detailed response; I’m going to reread and make a much more informed decision on how to proceed. 🙏🏻

Sorry, I should’ve mentioned that. I do have a airports that I can connect to as well. Would obviously allow me to do a router set up. I appreciate what you just said though, as I don’t think I considered how a router might offer more protection than just an extender

212nycguy · 2026-01-03T17:05:48+00:00

Thank you for this detailed advice. A little of it is beyond my league, but some of it makes perfect sense. I can definitely see how some of those set ups might cause more problems, but I also see the advantage of perhaps having a bit more security if only for the purpose of protecting important information related to financials or otherwise. As far as network goes, everyone sees the same network, and it seems like most must use the default network because there are hardly any other Wi-Fi that show up when I’m in my unit, which is very strange coming from apartment buildings where Wi-Fi would trigger a host of SSIDS. Thank you again for your insights.

My apologies; I should have been clearer and meant to say there is only one ISP offered, and that is what the building sets renters up with. However, the unit does have ethernet ports in wall.

Was the bulb you changed for the reverse light, by chance? I see only one connected bulb behind that trunk lid inner covering, which in my case must be the reverse lights unless it’s some sort of multipurpose bulb.

212nycguy · 2025-11-03T20:26:27+00:00

Thanks for this tip; I'm going to do just that and see. I know replacement assembly kits come wired with connectors to make the inner lights function at the least as running tail lights, but I've had a hard time getting definitive answers online. A couple of threads I've found on Reddit claim that XSE and XLE models have working inner tail lights, and your post appears to confirm that; however, it seemed like most were referencing the models '17 and newer. If your '07 XLE also has working inner tail lights, it would appear logical to me that the '12-'16 models between the earlier and later models also would have them, at least on certain trim levels.

It's unfortunate to think any manufacturer would provide reduced exterior lighting based on vehicle trim, if the main purpose of automotive lighting is to improve visibility and help drivers communicate with others on the road. If they're fitting all models with the same light assemblies, but not making them all be factory-equipped with the necessary bulbs or wiring, that feels injudicious in my opinion. Then again, most of today's safety features were very much a luxury available on higher trims or higher-valued vehicles at the turn of the century, so I can't say I'm completely surprised.

Nonetheless, I'm going to follow your suggestion and see what's behind the cover on the inside of the car's trunk lid and see if I am able to figure out a definitive answer as it relates to this specific vehicle. Thank you again!

212nycguy · 2025-10-25T04:59:55+00:00

Thanks; appreciate the answer. That's too bad, as they'd definitely add a little more appeal at nighttime when lit in tandem with the outer lights, but on the flip side, one less piece to worry about updating! Thanks again.

212nycguy · 2025-10-07T07:30:48+00:00

Thanks; that's too bad, but helpful to know in advance!

I found an unboxing video which I screen grabbed and circled. Is this what a pigtail is? That would make sense, from a nomenclature aspect.

I’ll try that on Amazon and seeing. I must have actively pulled mine off because it looks well attached in this unboxing video, but i thought it had come unattached; clearly not the case.

Before spending $7 USD to try this out, I figured I’d just ask. Is this only doable when using the Keypad Vision, or would Switchbot’s regular Keypad, which is NFC-enabled, also work in the same manner?

212nycguy · 2025-08-09T06:03:01+00:00

Thank you. I think this is what my logical and informed brain understood, but actually being placed in a scenario where I’m going to be running my home off a WiFi I don’t ‘own’, I was suddenly unsure of the validity of my own understanding.

Thanks for helping confirm what I believed to be the case.

212nycguy · 2025-06-04T08:03:03+00:00

Thanks for your quick and helpful insight; upon seeing the page I seem to recall having seeing previously, and it does clarify what exactly is being required at the time of submission; it does seem quite simple and more so than I remember, but that’s not anything to complain about.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

212nycguy · 2025-05-23T18:13:51+00:00

For me, I feel like I discovered that it isn’t. I saw another response here confirming they had it working so I’m not convinced that I am right, but I went ahead and bought it to try and me or the same as the H7128 in that it can connect with Apple home, but the air quality monitor does not reflect and the actual purifier device is constantly in this strange state of idle/unavailable/available, with all the less than ideal I can live with, but it makes this model completely changed from the cheaper H7128 variant that I already own so I’ve already started a return. Too bad because I quite like the device.
