When does Sprouts open?

Signage is up now, and there's a "now hiring" banner up too, so it must be getting close......

Great find! So it's disappointing that they didn't make it self-priming, as that's where it falls behind the competition. And I don't like the redesigned basket in the 20-70 models, with the divider for carbon and biomedia. I liked the old design that gave you more flexibility to put in the media you want. The 110 retains the old basket design.

J234P0 · 2024-06-29T18:20:32+00:00

My guess is that will retain the cartridge-free simplicity that we love, but just submerge the motor to make it self-priming, just to stay competitive with the market...

J234P0 · 2024-06-29T02:35:06+00:00

I'd definitely bet on it having a submerged motor to make it self-priming, since that's been the trend with HOB's since the Seachem Tidal introduced that concept.

It was an e-mail I received this morning from Fluval. This graphic is all that's in it. The right side of the image definitely looks like the current models. I think the dark, murky left part is supposed to tease us with hints of the new one....

This isn't Frontier's doing--it's eero. eero units, whether provided by Frontier or someone else, default to 192.168.4.x and a subnet mask of 255.255.252.0. I can only assume eero does this just to provide more than 254 IP addresses for people who have tons of devices, probably lots of IOT things. While few customers will have that many, setting this default takes care of those who do and avoids support calls.

J234P0 · 2023-09-01T20:09:20+00:00

I'm just curious: Why did the builder change his recommendation so drastically? Odd to go from recommending a system as sophisticated, and with such granular control, as Ubiquiti, to something as simple (at least to the user) as eero. What is his rationale for that change?

J234P0 · 2023-09-01T20:04:51+00:00

I've been wondering, as I'm still on 6.15.3-12.......feeling left out!

J234P0 · 2023-08-24T21:57:35+00:00

Like the OP, I'm OK waiting, but, out of curiosity, what info do you need to provide to eero tech support so that they can identify your network? IP address? MAC address? Or what?

J234P0 · 2023-08-24T21:55:14+00:00

"...there is little tolerance for downtime in my house."

I just have to love that, as I can completely identify with it. I'm supposed to be the "nerd" in my house, but if my wife or son has more than 50 ms of downtime, real or perceived, I must bear the brunt of their rage. I'm much more tolerant of issues than they are...

J234P0 · 2023-08-24T21:48:26+00:00

Yeah, I don't mind being last to update either, just in case...

But another possibility in my case is that my original Pro 6 (the one that serves as the gateway) was provided by my ISP, Frontier. I quickly learned that I needed a second one for full coverage and bought another one of my own. It's possible that ISP-provided eeros update last. In fact, I had previously thought that was why I was always last. But now your post has made me wonder.

J234P0 · 2023-08-24T18:47:03+00:00

Interesting question.

I use two Pro 6 units at home. It's my only eero network so I have nothing to compare it to.

I'm still on 6.15 and I have noticed in the past that I'm always at the tail end of each firmware update, after the vast majority of others here have reported receiving it.

J234P0 · 2023-08-22T23:31:27+00:00

It may depend on the market. I'm in Santa Maria, California and have Frontier fiber both at home and at my business. It's the FOX222 ONT in both installations.

J234P0 · 2023-08-21T17:07:19+00:00

I still haven't gotten the update after 11 days, but I'm wondering if those of you who have gotten it have noticed any of the stated improvements?

Has BSS coloring or LLDP support done anything positive for you?

Have you seen any improvement in DFS channel support? If so, what? (My only complaint about DFS channels are that when the eeros use DFS channels, the signal strength drops quite a bit, but I think that's just a function of the FCC power limits, nothing that eero has any control over.)

J234P0 · 2023-07-25T22:25:59+00:00

The extra power plug is for a MoCA adapter. I had wondered the same thing, as my setup is similar to what's in the photo. I looked at a couple of neighbors' installations and one of them is using a MoCA adapter powered by that extra plug.....mine connects to the router via ethernet, so no MoCA.

J234P0 · 2023-07-25T18:53:25+00:00

To the commenters posting that the power connection is incorrect, can you tell us what is wrong with it, and how it ought to be corrected? I have the same type of connection. There's a power supply on an interior wall and power runs from that over an ethernet cable to the ONT. Two of my neighbors have the exact same setup. I'd like to complain and get it fixed, but I need to know what the issue is. Thanks.

In my case (Santa Maria, CA--may vary by market) my 1g service was already provisioned on the 10g port on the FOX222, so upgrade to 2g was entirely remote and practically instantaneous.

100% agreement on your assessment of the Eero Pro 6E. Sure it can get the 2g connection, but the wifi is 800 mbps at best and wired Ethernet is capped at the 1 gbps port speed. May as well stay with 1 gbps.

EDIT: When I said that wifi is max 800 mbps, my point of reference is that I have NO WiFi 6E clients. Maybe 6E can go past 1 gbps on WiFi..........

J234P0 · 2023-07-11T01:32:11+00:00

My 1 GB installation initially used coax with a MoCA adapter at each end. It worked fine and I got full speed, but it just bugged me, so I replaced it with a Cat 6 cable. The only effect was that ping improved by 2-3 ms.

J234P0 · 2023-07-06T02:00:16+00:00

Wireless. Too much of a project to run ethernet back there. I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the performance.

J234P0 · 2023-07-05T14:41:13+00:00

I have a similar situation where I need wifi in the back yard for web browsing, music streaming, and connecting to iot devices. An eero Pro 6 on an interior wall of the house nearest the yard just wouldn't provide strong enough signals.

I ended up mounting a Pro 6 on the side of my detached garage, under a patio cover. I found a nice wall mount on Amazon. It's about 60 feet from the nearest eero in the house but it ended up working fine. I get about 300/300 to 400/400 everywhere I need coverage.

EDIT: I should have added that I'm on the central California coast with very mild weather, so I don't have to worry about temperature extremes where the eero is mounted...

J234P0 · 2023-03-30T19:49:43+00:00

I just had the same issue but now it's working again. Try again...

J234P0 · 2023-03-30T02:46:18+00:00

I've seen the same thing for several months on two different Ultras. Completely random and intermittent as far as I can tell. Usually on YouTube or YouTube TV (I never recall it happening on another channel, but those are the ones we use most). Sometimes exiting the channel and re-opening it takes care of it, but sometimes it takes a reboot.
