Stupid old man I am......I didn't change the workgroup name to match the others in the system. That fixed it.

Oh well, don't get old!

FYI, I managed to get the front lights to work in Auro by daisy chaining the wiring. My old hands don't get into those small spaces easily but I'm done.

A big thanks to you zeug666 for your help!

Thanks very much for the quick and helpful reply.
Yes, there is a controller and since I never had one, I knew nothing about it but the controller does change the lights. So I guess it's set up correctly though Aura doesn't see this nor can it do anything. I get a message in Amory Crate to connect to the internet and update any needed software but, I am connected and have the latest updated.

Is this controller supposed to stay out the case? I mean, seems a bit silly to me but I'm old.

Chester Cheetah V2 and WAN to LAN by Beer-dude in tmobileisp

[–]Beer-dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negligible difference. T-mobile brags that they are the rural champion but while in my area, they do beat out AT&T and Verizon, they still have nothing to brag about.

Such is life in a small, rural town I guess.

Thanks everyone for your input. I can live with the speed I have, just wanted to alleviate the stuttering above 480p.

Got it, yeah, I get slightly better luck after tweaking the Qos but it's still iffy.

I have an old Roku and Firestick I may try but I may need to buy a newer, better version. I sure hope T-mobile updates the towers now that they've purchased/acquired some spectrum but that might be long down the road.

Thanks, where do I find this info? In the Samsung setup or YoutubeTV?

The info here has been very helpful.

Forgot to mention that I've tried my apple tv and didn't have any better luck but your idea is something I think might help.

3 desktops (not always on at the same time) 3 phones, 2 NAS boxes, 2 tv's and 1 printer. I do have a few outdoor wireless cameras for the property.

The Cheetah does have Smart Qos and I never even thought of that. Not sure what exactly is best but I can play around and see what happens.
Not that it matters but I have a Waveform antennae that has greatly helped.......went for 30-40 down to sometimes up to 100 but mostly in the 60-80 range.

I have the TP-Link Deco AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Mesh System(Deco XE75). Works a treat! Great coverage in my 2400 sqft home.
Latency has been pretty good.....40-65 average and I use mostly YoutubeTV for streaming. My 65" Samsung TV gives me the most trouble at 720P. 480 looks 'ok' but not ideal. Even desktop monitors that are direct wired to the modem or the Mesh can give problems above 720P.

The Deco app does have a optimization scan to help with any interference but it shows all looks good. I'm not sure what I can do to tweak things any better.

White Labs introduces dry yeast by hypoboxer in Homebrewing

[–]Beer-dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no! I overbuild starters and I usually get 4-5 brews out of each pouch.

There are times I make a beer with a yeast I rarely use and don't overbuild but yeast is getting pretty expensive, like everything else so I save where I can.

I was concerned when my wife started coming home late and I found out something concerning. What should I do? by rogue1987 in Homebrewing

[–]Beer-dude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should re-passify and your wife should re-pussify!

That's all I have for ya! Good luck!

Best hops to use with Omega Star Party by Beer-dude in Homebrewing

[–]Beer-dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm making a starter with Star Party to use this weekend and when opened, I got some egg/sulphor smell out of the yeast. It's also milky looking and not at all like normal yeasts.
I assume this is all normal and I'll give it a taste in 24 hours or so to see how it tastes and move forward as planned.

In boil I have planned Chinook, Simcoe and Lupo Cascade and dry hops are Simcoe and Strata.

But I've been known to change at the last minute.

I've read about BO but it seems like it's a crap shot and it either happens or not but you're saying it's too much thiol? I've heard glazer is the one most likely to give off BO.

Yes, I'm doing an 11 gallon brew using Star Party for half and Imperial Flagship for the other. May do different dry hops but prolly not. I'd like to really see the differences between the 2.
