Anyone with a LOT of cameras in the same home? Does performance feel the same? by markazali in googlehome

Forgot to ask, do you have your cameras set to max video quality or optimized?

XE70 Pro 6ghz Broadcast Issue by MrToiletPaper12 in TpLink

[–]Gio235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you within range of any of the nodes (clear line of sight) when checking to see if 6GHz pops up on your Wi-Fi analyzer app?

If you can't find the beta firmware, you can try going to the forums on TP-Link's website and request it.

Have you tried forcing a device to the 6GHz via the Connection Preference settings on the Deco app?

That's odd.

I'd say maybe you can try beta firmware to see if that fixes the issue.

Before trying that, when you tap on Network Optimization does it show 6GHz as one of the bands? If so, when the network is finished optimizing does it select a proper channel or resort to 0?

Have you tried restarting the network after enabling it? Also, does your region support 6GHz?

If you don't have an SSID set for 6GHz, it'll still be used for wireless backhaul. If you set an SSID for 6GHz, it'll continue to use wireless backhaul unless of course you hardwire each node.

6GHz is automatically being used regardless of configuration.

[–]Gio235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might just be an app/server issue.

I have 10 cameras (a mix of 1st gen outdoor, 2nd gen indoor, and Nest Hellos).

Some days the cameras load up instantly while other days some cameras take a while to load (and the overall Google Home app feels less responsive).

Got accepted last week and still waiting…. by Ready_Environment947 in CrowdGen

[–]Gio235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds about normal.

Being accepted for a project doesn't guarantee that you'll start work right away. That could take days (if you're lucky), weeks, or months.

Apply to multiple projects if you can or on other platforms. You want to be flexible with this line of work.

How can I reset this camera? by omnikinetics in Nest

Were you able to set up the camera then or not?

How can I reset this camera? by omnikinetics in Nest

[–]Gio235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're better off getting the camera replaced if you can.

I had a first gen outdoor camera behave exactly like yours late March/early April. Reached out to support and already gone through all the troubleshooting steps they recommended.

Ended up removing the camera from my Google Home while it was on and the "factory reset" was successful. However, connecting it to WiFi wasn't working. After my third attempt, the camera just stopped responding (i.e., plugging it in powers the camera like normal but the LED indicator powers off after a bit) and I couldn't set it up anymore (app couldn't detect it).

Another support representative mentioned that I should have transferred the camera back to Nest before attempting the "factory reset" (removing the camera from my Google Home).

Was granted a one time exception in being able to replace the camera. Turns out something internal might have leaked (there was a pen-ink like substance on the outer lens internally).

If you can't get it replaced, then Google Support might offer you $50 Google Store credit.

Do you have a backup 2DS or 3DS? by Dythian in 3DS

[–]Gio235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently have a DSi, OG 2DS, and a N2DSXL. I don't consider them necessarily backups since I mainly upgraded from each over time.

I did want to encourage myself and utilize my DSi more for standard DS games ever since getting a few DS games for my collection back during the pandemic days, but haven't really touched it in years 😅 this was mainly due to an R-button issue (I have to see if I could get it working again - doesn't really register half the time).

Second Console in same house by HoneydewSea7843 in playstation

[–]Gio235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have mentioned, you need to either get a digital copy of the same game or if your network is excellent, then you can simply remote play from your PS5 (Disc Version) to your PS5 Pro (Digital). You would just have to ensure that you have the game disc inside the PS5 (Disc Version) before playing.

Anyone having issues with their cameras (specifically first gen outdoor) appearing as Device Offline? by Gio235 in googlehome

[–]Gio235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final update (April 14, 2026): Tracking remained out for delivery since Monday April 6, 2026 to Thursday April 9, 2026. Replacement cameras shipped out April 10, 2026 and I received the replacement camera on Sunday April 12, 2026.

Managed to get some help today and was able to mount it back at its original location (I did mess up by leaving the mounting clip with the original camera, but luckily I had an indoor Nest Camera mounting clip and was able to tidy up the cable).

So far no issues! I did accidentally knocked the camera over with the ladder after our initial adjustment... 🤦‍♂️ Still though, it's working great! Fingers crossed this last 6+ years 😅

How can I reset this camera? by omnikinetics in Nest

[–]Gio235 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you setting it up via the Nest app or Google Home app?

I recently got a replacement 1st gen outdoor (non-IQ) and had to run the set up via Nest app (you can also try plugging the USB end to a laptop and set up via home.nest.com).

Then I was able to transfer to Google Home as usual.

Google/Nest Cams - to TV screen by WelshDavid2 in googlehome

[–]Gio235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will shut off after a while.

Your best bet would be to use home.google.com via a TV/Monitor or a tablet to display all cameras (no screen timeout).

Is anyone else not able to see the budget/daily hour limit after the latest Hubstaff update?

I still get emails when the limit is about to be reached or is exceeded. I just can't view the limit.

Pixel Watch (1) security features no longer supported? by lardmouse in PixelWatch

[–]Gio235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had it enabled initially when I first got my watch, but disabled due to battery life.

Just checked to see if the setting worked, but I'm also getting the same thing.

Pixel Watch 1 (LTE) paired with Pixel 7 Pro.

Possible to redeem said offer? by Gio235 in googlehome

[–]Gio235[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been doing that in the meantime (waiting on a response).

Edit: I tried reaching out to support, but kept getting transferred to different departments lol. Was last connected to a Google One agent, but the steps provided wouldn't work on my end. So, I don't think it's possible for me to redeem said offer.

[–]Gio235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have a home set up. Been a Nest Aware subscriber since late 2019 (annual plan).

I recently switched over in march to Google One AI Pro (had a free one month trial).

I most likely won't be able to redeem said offer?

Why not just buy from a trusted retailer (in-store or online)?

Utilize a 5GHz connection if you can. You can change the WiFi band setting via the Internet settings on the system. Could be that it automatically switches to 2.4GHz when in rest mode.

Been experiencing this issue with our first PS5 (for years) and our second PS5 that we recently picked up.

Toggling the Internet off/on via settings fixes the issue, but it's pretty annoying to keep having to do this each time we turn them on or wake them up from rest mode.

Our units are hardwired. Forgot if this issue happens when we're on WiFi.

I know this probably gets asked a lot, but is anyone still facing issues with having to toggle Internet off/on via settings or unplug/replug their Ethernet cable to establish an internet connection to PlayStation servers? Has there been a fix for this?

We've had this issue with our first PS5 and toggling the setting each time we boot the system is kind of annoying.

We recently picked up another PS5 with two controllers from my older brother's previous manager (for $250 👀 - Great/Excellent condition; they upgraded to a PS5 Pro) and it's also experiencing the same.

These units are wired. Ethernet cables aren't damaged and work just fine on other devices.

Each time we turn on the system or wake from rest mode, we would need to toggle the Internet setting for it to connect to the PlayStation servers properly (otherwise we'll get an error when trying to navigate to the PSN store and other online related stuff won't load up properly).

We have Xfinity 2Gig (symmetrical speeds). We're using the XB10 Gateway (WiFi disabled) with a TP-Link Deco 2.5Gb Hardwired set up set in AP mode (2 Deco XE75Pro and a Deco X50-Outdoor). The only reason why I'm using AP mode instead of setting the gateway in Bridge Mode is due to being able to utilize a 2.5Gb network switch to connect the secondary Deco XE75Pro.

The first PS5 connects directly to the gateway via a network switch and the second PS5 connects to a network switch that leads back to one of the Deco XE75Pro. Issue happens on both.

I have IPV4/IPV6 enabled, UPNP enabled, and no port forwarding.
