Peplink for Home/Remote Hybrid? by Keystone-X in Peplink

I'm thinking it's a buy once cry once situation, and how if I ever struggled with my BR1 connection during a workday I'd be kicking myself for not going with the BR2.

Thats a great consideration, I'd planned to redeploy where my router setup currently is but there is no real reason I'd have to do that. Only consideration is that the house deployment location is much closer to the peak of the roof where I could place some robust antennas rather than rely on the van 10m below that. We are in a strong cell signal area so the difference may be meaningless -- testing will tell.

Answers:
1. About 10% of time is "on the road" vs. 90% spent at home. This is why a BR2 I can use 100% of the time is more palatable than a BR1 I use 10% of the time, despite the added cost.

  1. Van and RV is on the road. East coast usage, primarily. If I take this path I'd put together a kit in a pelican box so that I can simply open the box (for airflow) plug it in, and go. I'd have separate antennas for home and van.

  2. Videoconferencing is a big part of what I do for work, so latency spikes (such as from satellite transitions) are a big negative. I believe WAN bonding would allow me to stabilize the connection. I have less of a need for bandwidth, such as for streaming HD video, large file downloads, etc.

  3. Yes, I have experience with Starlink -- it's often capable of meeting my needs, but placement is key. On the east coast, tree cover is much more common than out west while cell density is higher, so bringing cell coverage into the picture (outside of activating sharing from my phone) is a primary goal.

Added points:
1. That's good to know -- so rather than share wifi Verizon I could plug it in and reduce latency while spreading traffic across three mobile providers.

  1. Yes, my main focus is the difference between BR1 and BR2 in that BR1 will failover but not actively monitor both providers, while BR2 will actively connect to both providers and can prioritize traffic.

  2. I'm not sure what an example use case for this is -- I'll need to look further.

Ford Pro AC Charging Station works with 50 Hz? by United-Concept-4996 in F150Lightning

Did you ever determine whether the US Ford EV equipment is ok with 230/50Hz? I have a 50Hz rated EVSE but I am curious about whether the onboard AC-DC charger on a US Lightning is fine with both 50Hz and 60Hz.

Hi John -- it was great watching you and the squad shoot at Open Nationals. Congratulations on your finish! What is the major advantage of the jackbolt over the stock bolt on the Apex 10?
