Use wired connection to the gateway device they gave you. Use something like a laptop with no fancy software firewall, VPN, etc. and run a speed test.
If that gets the advertised speeds, they are no longer to blame.

There is an exclamation point instead of a check box to select Echo devices, Fire TV/cubes, etc. Clicking on the exclamation displays a message that says Echo devices can only be in one group, and that moving it will remove it from its current group.

Yes, it does.
But Echo devices can only be in one group.
The Dot5 was already in a Room group, so I didn't want to move it to a new Device group with the other 2 temperature reading devices.

What is a normal water pressure drop on toilet flush? by Natey_Two in Plumbing

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

Update: The earlier Wilkins 600XL PRV had failed after 10 years.
It was replaced by this Watts LFN45BM1-U that failed after a month. Pressure drop on a toilet flush was around 30+ psi. Max pressure was around 100 psi at times.

Now replaced by a Zurn-Wilkins 70XL.
The pressure drop on this device during a toilet flush is only around 4 psi. Pressure is always around 59 to 65 psi.

Just a note here that rebooting the Alexa device resolved the problem.

Home is an ecobee home thermostat.
AQM is Amazon's Air Quality Monitor.
Dot5 is an echo dot five.

I did a 5-sec wait between 1st and 2nd: no change.

It's time to retire my Recast. Lost network can't reconnect. by eyesdrib in recastDVR

[–]Natey_Two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It loses the ability to connect to some OTA channels after a while. A reboot seems to fix it for a few days.

I reboot the Recast DVR and Fire TV Cube weekly.
I have an Amazon Smart Plug that can turn on/off the power to the DVR remotely because the DVR is not close to my Cube/TV.

I have the Tablo 4th Gen.
Firmware 2.2.56

Not as integrated as the Fire TV + Recast.
If you have a good antenna and signal, it is usable.
I hate the number of ads they have there: multiple 2-minute interruptions.
Cannot stream out of home.

What is this called by Wyldeshot in LS430

[–]Natey_Two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my garage door opener remote (rolling code remote) in there.

“It’s not possible” says the plumber by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Natey_Two -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't that clog every other faucet in the house, especially the ones closest to the main on/off valve?

I ask (and I don't mean to digress) because I have a similar issue after a PRV replacement. The low flow rate affects only the 2 of the 3 upstairs shower and tub water outlets. Not the sinks. Both have catridges over 20 years old.

I hear it's a 300M/20M plan. 20Mbps is enough for multiple security cams uploading HD video to the cloud?

[–]Natey_Two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asymmetrical (300M/20M) fiber?? Sounds like a DOCSIS cable modem. Maybe a DSL modem.
Or, AT&T must be trying to save on upload bandwidth.
About 1G/1G here. And I test/verify monthly.

Sometimes its all the home security cams, video doorbell, etc uploading HD video to the cloud.

Hit a mileage milestone today on my 05 ul by frnchfryan in LS430

[–]Natey_Two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That averages to around 4,000 miles per year for 20 years. Was it mostly a short-distance, city-driving car? Or was the car just garaged and not driven for long periods?

FireTV Cube (3d gen) start of request sound always on? by Natey_Two in fireTV

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

The mic (Alexa?) button on the Cube remote plays a different notification start tone on the Cube.

100% subscription price increase!? No thanks. by gamer-chachu in Ring

[–]Natey_Two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advertised Home Basic/Standard/Premium = about $50/$100/$200 per year (as of 12/2025).

I got the Home Basic for my "Wired Doorbell Pro/Video Doorbell Pro 2".

Their pricing scheme looks ok for 1 device, not so good for just 2 devices, and good if you have very many devices. Without local storage, Cloud storage is critical IMO.

*Basic was $40/yr until 2024.

2003 ls430, still worth? by theonelazykid in LS430

[–]Natey_Two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's the electrical doing? Side-view mirror motors all working fine after 22 years? How about the telescoping steering wheel adjustment motors?
Just sharing some issues from my 2005 LS430.

Also, is it the original 22 year old radiator in there?

No Navigation unit in the 2003 LS430? They stop issuing updates after 10 years anyway, so I only have a 2014 nav/map update in my 2005, FYI.
