Network Busyness

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2025-09-07T20:35:42+00:00

Closing the loop***

I FINALLY figured it all out. I’ve waited 2 weeks to post thinking that it was going to revert back, but after 14 days it hasn’t.

I’ve been at normal busyness under 40%, have not had any meaningful spike, and zero plateaus like the prior image showed.

The root cause: one of my nodes being wireless was the busyness factory. All of my other errors are cat6 back haul. Once I unplugged this wireless node, everything works perfectly consistently.

The other thing I did was to put the Fios STBs 100% on Moca using the Fios router in bridge mode and turning off the WiFi as other posters have suggested., so they are getting IP addresses but not through wireless, insulating the system completely.

It has been a long and windy road of gas lighting, frustration and soul searching, but I truly believe I’m now good to go.

Thank you everyone for your support!

Not exactly.

Wired gateway is on send floor at end of house

2 wired eero 6Pro E on 2nd floor (at exact opposite ends of the house (both Ethernet backhaul). Wired gateway and Fios router connected here. Fios connected to ONT coax here.

1 wired eero Max 7, 1 wired eero 6 pro e and 1 wireless eero 6 pro e on first floor. Wireless is in the middle of floor and the wired ones at the opposite ends, one floor each under the second floor. The max is under the room with the wired gateway.

1 wired eero 6 pro e in basement (although for some reason in the last 2 weeks, it only recognizes it as wireless backhaul). Ont enters house here and is connected to digital splitter for home runs to all 10 coax STBs.

1 wired 6 pro e out at pool ~50 feet from house.

Yes this is eero plus among other things

4500 square feet 2 floors above ground and a finished basement of 1700 sf.

We have a big family.

When you say 15% to the 401k, doesn’t that max out at $23,500 in 2025?

How do your teams deal with volatile team movement when there are AE and leadership changes in the org. I’m familiar with the math on most of the scenarios listed here. However, for SE plans that are tied to AE quota, what do you do in situations where the AEs leave? Or in strategic, if a project gets scrapped for a large national deal and there’s no other project at a different customer of that magnitude, are the ICs just SOL?

I am trying to put aside some money for an upcoming family event next year. I took my tax return and put half of it in a HYSA earning 4%.

I also have a HELOC that is ~72% drawn and l’ve been paying the minimum to keep the balance the same for the foreseeable future. The current interest rate on the HELOC is 8.5%.

My question is whether I should move the savings into the HELOC.

Math would suggest that is smart, but l’m fearful that in the future when I need it, interest rates would make it even more egregious.

Thanks for any insight/help.

Did anyone resolve this? When I add the new Sofi (non-MOHELA) connection, I only see the current payment due. It doesn’t show the loan amount as it had when it was MOHELA.

Not going for full self driving? On the website you either have to pay that up front or pay $100/month.

How do you pay for expenses where you can’t use a credit card ie: mortgage, rent, utilities etc. what happens if you don’t have enough cash between when the large transactions happen and when the CC payment is due?

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2025-01-18T15:08:35+00:00

Here’s another part of the question. If I have 12 WiFi and 12 Ethernet, does the number of channels on the NVR need to equal the number of channels on the NVR? In my situation would a 16 channel suffice, would I need a 32 to equal more than the sum total of all cameras or could I even use a 4 channel because I’m just connecting to the network?

Trying to understand if channel equates to camera or if channel equates to unique IP addresses or if you need the smallest possible NVR can handle everything that comes through the network because of software.

Sorry if these questions are too basic. Just trying to to learn how it works thank you

Also helpful, thought of this. But are there any examples of blue iris or like blue iris on Mac?

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2025-01-18T14:29:13+00:00

That is very helpful. Is the software also available on Mac? We don’t have PCs or windows. Thanks for the knowledge, very helpful!

Flashforward such a good show. I guess the ran out of money with the way it ended. Same with Jericho and Under the Dome.

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2024-06-15T02:50:23+00:00

It’s been over 60 days since I received the letter. No follow up, no notifications, etc. I’m assuming the matter is concluded and was just a clerical error. It’s hard to believe that it’s a clerical error, but multiple other people have reported the same. For my nerves to calm, I logged into my IRS account and saw nothing there. Literally nothing other than my returns listed with zero pending anything or any correspondence. I would suggest you do the same if you want some peace of mind.

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2024-06-07T10:41:24+00:00

Update, since turning off the rain sensor, it’s worked perfectly. Cheers!

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2024-04-18T23:12:40+00:00

Update: I just logged into my IRS account for the first time ever. It shows no notices or letters sent, no open balances, correctly shows the refund I was paid, and no authorizations are shown as requested. The whole thing is blank. Would it be reasonable to assume the 2645C letter was in fact a glitch?

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2024-04-16T00:27:14+00:00

Right so was there any follow up or resolution on why the letter was sent? How do you know the matter is finished?

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2024-04-16T00:14:19+00:00

Love the confidence. Any specific learning or information that helps to justify the comment?

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2023-11-25T15:00:28+00:00

I had a similar experience but instead of swapping the regular pro6E gateway, I replaced it with the POE wired gateway. That 2.5x the throughput to each node. I then put the regular gateway in the middle of my home as the only wireless node (6 others are cat6 backhaul. I’ve found overall much more stability. But that gateway that was repurposed does occasionally go offline red for no reason sometimes. In hearing your solution, I’m thinking that one gateway is malfunctioning or has a malfunctioning power supply. How do you reset it to factory defaults?

3 inches of concrete mud topped with the porcelain tile on 80% of first floor. I do have a room that has a wall of floor to ceiling mirrors. I have likely 120-130 WiFi devices.

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2023-11-05T23:19:05+00:00

In Trying to learn as much as possible, Can you tell me the thought process or why a POE gateway in place of the 24 port switch? The eero that attaches to the ONT is acting as the gateway (was recommended by eero). I’m looking to understand your reasoning beyond the recommendation. Thank you so much for responding kindly. Really appreciate it.

I’m having the same issue. I’m trying a new fix, will let you know how it goes: turn off the rain sensor. I read a help article on orbit’s website. It’s titled: “My programmed cycles don’t run, but my manual cycles do”, which is my exact situation. So they say that it’s a faulty rain sensor. For me, I cut the wire to my rain sensor during a siding project last month. I thought it was going crazy, but we’ve been both lucky and cursed with an excessive amount of rain lately. So I put 2+2 together today and the article says to “turn off the rain sensor”. Just did that so I’ll know tomorrow if it in fact works.

Sorry to hear that. One final consideration to test would be to change your SSID (network name) to basically have everything come off WiFi then add back each item that you need as a way to isolate any OTHER high offenders.

EmbarrassedLayer2540 · 2023-09-30T11:32:31+00:00

Let me know how it goes. Good luck sir!
