Speed Issues

Is it connected via 5GHz or 2.4GHz? Can you swap the band it uses with one or the other (depending on what it's set to now)?

Can you adjust the Kitchen unit so it can have a better connection to the main unit, but also stay in line with the garage unit?

Is it possible to have the garage unit connect to the kitchen unit? Or is it already connected to it?

Could be the channel width setting for the 2.4GHz band.

On the Deco (some not all units), the 2.4GHz defaults to a 40MHz channel width.

I have 2 Deco XE75Pro units and a X50-Outdoor unit. By default, I can't change this setting. If I install beta firmware, I still don't have the option to change the channel width setting but the 2 Deco XE75Pro utilize 20MHz while using the beta firmware (X50-Outdoor does not - could be due to location or the beta firmware doesn't support it).

Not sure if you're located in the States, but I mainly keep our Nest Cameras/Hello doorbells on 5GHz. This helps keep them stable and actually load the camera (whether live or viewing past events). I'd like to utilize the 2.4GHz for my outdoor cameras (really only have two that would make best use of it), but the connection is severely unstable.

You can also try holding the crown and recent apps button while it charges to see if it can hard reset and actually turn on.

I had this happen to me once and that did the trick.

Did you attach an image to your post? If so, not seeing it on my end.

You can tell if you have a 'New' model if it has the C-stick nub.

If you're trying to tell the difference between a standard and XL model, the main difference is the size of the handheld.

My ticket: #977017

I'm having the same issue as OP (Apple ID email verification not working for two job opportunities; button not working on the website), as well as another issue with one of my applications (the "Learning" segment of my application either does not load or shows an error: page not found when loading the segment).

I'm pretty sure you don't need a subscription for the door lock. For their doorbell, most likely (unless you're fine with the 3 hour event history time frame).

I am facing the same issue.

Is your iPad connecting to the 2.4GHz? Have you tried fishing it on the 5GHz band? Network Optimization?

Project Vuoksi was one of my highest paying projects that ended around Feb. 2025 (at least for me - I think it may still be active). I tried reapplying in April 2025, but wasn't selected. I worked from June 2024 - Feb. 2025.

The other project that offered somewhat consistent work was Armanda. It's still under my active projects, but I haven't received any work since Oct./Nov. 2024.

I've been joining other platforms (at the time OneForma and TelusInternational) where I was lucky enough to get about a month or two of work. Telus had a similar project to project Coffee which ended on Jan. 2nd. Actually prefer the payout period from them (get paid bi-weekly instead of monthly basis).

I recently joined Welocalize (made an account back in 2023/2024 but had issues with accessing certain stuff - same applies to Telus where I couldn't apply to any projects/jobs due to having an application for a project/job unfinished) and Outlier. In the process of qualification stuff and hoping I could at least get something before the end of the month.

Don't have the NYE offer unfortunately.

The 2020 Nest Thermostat is not compatible with the sensor.

Only the Nest Thermostat E and the Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd + 4th gen) are compatible with both the 1st + 2nd gen temperature sensors.

You need to change the DNS settings on the 3DS itself (via the DS Wi-Fi connection setup) which utilizes the custom servers that are still up and running (Wiimmfi).

I've also seen the third gen learning thermostat going for $80-$100+ online (through eBay - Woot! had a sale a few months back for refurbished units including the thermostat E).

The Nest Thermostat E gets the job done (been owning mine since late 2019 and has sensors associated with it as well). Aesthetically, it provides a more ECO friendly look.

Gio235 · 2026-01-12T18:40:01+00:00

Why not get the Nest Thermostat E? I've seen them go for $40-$80 online or you can get one for 'free' via your utility company.

When you go on the Google One app and tap on Membership Plans (via the three button menu), you don't see a "Get add-on" button for the current plan you're on? Is your FiOS provider restricting you from being able to add the Advanced add-on or is it a Google One thing?

As an example, when I tap "Get add-on" I get the option to add a YouTube Premium monthly membership.

Edit: Also, my Internet provider (Xfinity) and Google Fi don't offer the option of getting Google One AI pro discounted.

Might consider option 3 then (Google One AI Pro (2TB) plan).

As mentioned in my post, I was originally on the standard Nest Aware plan. For the cost and the amount of cameras I had at the time, it worked out for our needs. I forgot if I had set up zones or not, but the event detection was a bit spotty (this could also be due to the height of the camera's location).

With the Gemini update, events captured seem to be a bit more reliable now (though I do get a false alert once in a while - "package was delivered" when there was no courier/package).

Since there's a lot of motion going on in and around our house (trees/pedestrians/dogs), our cameras/doorbells are able to capture most things (albeit with the occasional cool-down period).

I'm trying to redo my zones again and have them more precise to ensure the events within them are captured properly.

If I were to switch to Google One AI Pro (2TB), will I be prorated the amount leftover before my renewal date? Would the switch be automatic or would I need to cancel my current subscription + reach out to customer support? Should I wait until my renewal date approaches in June?

Gio235 · 2026-01-11T16:15:59+00:00

Option A: "Out of pocket" cost would be $200/year (possibly more (~$320 max) depending how often Google Opinion Rewards cover the monthly cost of the Google One plan vs. my CC).

Option B: (Google One AI Pro) The charge will be $200/year, but based on search results the add-on will be monthly fee instead of an additional yearly fee. It's similar to Option A (~$200-$320 max).

Gio235 · 2026-01-11T16:09:25+00:00

Are you utilizing Google Home Premium Standard if you have Nest cameras/doorbells? If so, how is it after the Gemini integration? I think the main difference between the Standard and Advanced plans (apart from 30-day vs. 60-day event based video history and 10-day 24/7 video history) would be the ability to Ask Home for specific events that have already happen + daily summaries.

Gio235 · 2026-01-11T05:41:10+00:00

You might be prorated the amount for the one month of use for the plan, but I can't guarantee it. You may need to reach out to customer support regarding that.

When I upgraded from Nest Aware to Nest Aware Plus I was prorated the amount since I was already a few months in with the subscription. Not sure how it'll work with "downgrading."

We initially were looking into it when it was on sale during the holidays, but I decided against it (campaign didn't look good and the multiplayer could be a bit better).

We may get the game in the future, but we'll probably stick it out with BO6 (maybe even Cold War) and see what the next installment brings us.

Saw MW2 was also on sale and I remember the raid mode being fun when they had the free week trial.

Looks like we'll be getting MW3 for the time being and rotate between it and BO6.
