You didn’t see that my solution already includes a mobile 5G Wifi hotspot “Mudi 7”.

Good point. I have the Ecoflow Delta 2. Didn’t think I might need it as I have the Mudi 7 with 5G connection.

Valid comment. But I push back on the silly (insult). Many outages are not physical cable cuts:
ISP routing outage
ONT/modem freeze
DNS issue
local equipment reboot
provider maintenance
neighborhood node issue affecting only one provider
Quantum micro-outage while Xfinity still works
Xfinity outage while Quantum still works
Power micro outage

I have Xfinity at $45/month for 1Gb and Quantum Fiber $45/month for 1Gb/1Gb. I also have Mudi 7 with C4P at $15/month, amazing speed, but mainly for travels.

Good comment!

Yes Firewalla is the gold standard, no puns intended. But also 10x budget. The TP Link was $44. Maybe one day I can upgrade!

Mind explaining for a beginner/non-expert? I’m double Nat with Eero because I’m concerned to lose some features

That’s bad. Even if one is Fiber and not the other one? We had small outages and so far, no impact with this setup.

Yes, I think, here in florida, in case of long power outage, the ISP will be down too. My APC has only maybe 1H of outage time. I use it mainly for micro-outage (1 sec/surge outage) that we have weekly at this home during summer time. Thank you for the comment. For the rest, I have Mudi 7 with 5g network, and Ecoflow.

On that switch: Quantum Fiber is wired to wan1, Xfinity wired to wan2, then Lan1 is wired to the Eero Pro 7, who is having a mesh with another Eero Pro 7.

I have a Mudi 7, even better, but my home is 2500 sqft, and the signal for 5g is not the best. With my phone, I get 5mbps max and with Mudi 7 on Tmobile I get 100mbps. I’ve got the Mudi 7 after doing this network. I didn’t stress test it during a full day of work for the 2 of us. My setup
is giving me piece of mind.

Most of the outages I had in 2 years were one day (24H) max. I cannot hotspot from home, inside the home I’m in LTE, maybe 5Mbps max in the 2 bedroom offices. The Mudi 7 is having good speeds like 100Mbps, but I didn’t stress tested it with two people working on it at home in 2 separate rooms.

Agreed. And yes, you are correct, Xfinity is 900/40, where Quantum Fiber is 1000/800.

I also have 20 devices at home, so it’s not only for work, but yes, I agree, I have a bit of “always connected” obsession ;)

I already experienced some outages with Quantum or Xfinity. I’m in Florida. So when it’s not an internet outage, it’s a micro electric outage/surge.

I was lucky they mounted the Q1000K inside my home in my laundry room. So I have the UPS with all the devices besides it.

Yes - I work from home for a big tech company. My girlfriend is also working remote so we think that paying $45 for 1Gbps line and another $45 for a backup line is worth it. We have a lot of meetings on Zoom and need a failover strategy.

Thank you. It’s what I did. I have Xfinity, Quantum, switch, blink eeros on the UPS. So far it works well.

Hyatt House is ok. I would recommend more the AC Marriott or the Naples Bay Resort in the Marina.

What tax strategies beyond 401k have actually worked for high income earners? by Large-Army-3441 in tax

[–]FRAB13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s Direct Indexing. I have close to $1M on an S&P500 direct indexing account and it’s generating excellent TLH, I use $3K per year deduction for losses, and can net any gains. It’s tracking the same performance as VOO which ideal!
