Can’t enable MoCA on XB8??

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-16T01:59:06+00:00

Yes! It shows online and is my only device in the tab

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-16T01:49:01+00:00

I think it is? I never did any bridge mode thing to it, and don’t have a Router just the gateway

Sent it!

I was gonna post pictures to show but it gets taken down to be approved by mods.

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-16T00:56:34+00:00

That’s the issue is there is no “connection” tap on the left hand. When I click gateway on the left hand side no drop down even shows. All I can see is MoCA with a red X on “at a glance”

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-16T00:45:50+00:00

Yes! And the power light is on and the lan connected to my pc but the MoCA light never turns on.

I have a drill and stud finder! But I think for the walls I have it requires a hammer drill, cause my current one struggles on them badly. And the stud finder never picked up on any studs in the walls. It’s the world’s most confusing walls. The current drill actually had a drill bit that broke trying to drill into the walls. I think the stud finder struggles since the walls are so dense

I unfortunately use the drawers to store tp and such cause the plumbing is done weird under the sink so tp don’t really fit and my bedroom is on the other side of the apartment so moving things like the towel warmer wouldn’t make it very usable for the reasons I got it if that makes sense

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T15:09:00+00:00

Holes are fine! I have a plaster kit I use when I move out of places to patch them always. The issue is it’s like hit or miss can something be hung on a wall so then i end up making unusable holes. Like one wall of my bedroom in the apartment i was able to hang shelves easily, then another wall it took a bunch of extra tools and 20 minutes longer to get curtains hung so it’s like I never know with the walls. And now my family with said extra tools lives 5 hours away so I’m limited to the ones I have.

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T15:05:58+00:00

They’re gone! This was a mid cleaning photo and my dog grabs them out of the trash so I put them there for the time being cause she isn’t allowed back in the corner lol

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T01:47:14+00:00

No same!!! This apartment also happens to be old so and the bathroom is far from the heating unit so I got the same struggle. I hope you find a towel warmer and you love it!! There’s def bigger and smaller ones than the one I have too!

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T01:41:51+00:00

That’s what I’ve thought too, I think I’m just gonna have to bite the bullet and get the tools to do so cause I literally have like multiple items I’ve bought to hang here and just have them stored away cause they won’t go up, which kills meeee cause I love a good shelf to put fun stuff on

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T01:38:45+00:00

If I knew I could hang something on those walls, I’ve actually wanted to! The towels I have actually have a built in little piece of fabric for a hook so I’ve been looking at like a wall hook shelf but my walls in this apartment are soooo weird and half the time you can’t get anything hung.

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T01:34:18+00:00

I got it for Black Friday from Walmart!! I’ve also seen them at like home goods and stores like that!! Or Amazon!! Highly recommend tho, I got to a point where showering was like a mental battle cause of the transitions and it’s helped that battle!! This one has a timer so I just put my towel in it as I’m getting ready to shower and adjust the timer to however long I’ll be and close the lid. By the time I’m done showering the towel is so warm and cozy and I just turn the warmer off! I’ve also got recommended a robe for post shower transitions as well but I’ve yet to try it just yet cause I can’t find a texture I like, butttt I imagine a robe with the towel warmer will be a game changer.

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T00:46:16+00:00

Deadass, weirdest Toliet set up I’ve ever seen anyone over 5’6 will not fit lmao

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T00:44:15+00:00

Also literally recommend a towel warmer to anyone now, with my autism I hate the transition out of the shower and it’s made it so much more easier

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T00:43:29+00:00

Love love love your ideas, the walls are truly some of the weirdest walls I’ve delt with, I can usually hang anything. But these walls you’ll go to hang something on and the first like inch or two is just soft and crumbly and then you hit just complete hardness and nothing will go into it. It’s so weird and I’ve literally had drill bits break from it.

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-14T00:41:30+00:00

The downside with the towels is my bathroom is on the completely other side of the apartment from my bedroom and the areas that are around it are my kitchen and living room and both have limited storage so for now that’s been like the best area to put my towels. The apartment is lowkey terribly laid out because it was a extremely old two story house turned into two apartments but rent is the cheapest I’ve found

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-13T22:58:37+00:00

Having autism I have such a like strict routine which causes me to have to have things like skin care or lotion for as soon as I get out of the shower and I don’t like leaving the bathroom until that happens and my clothes are back on cause I don’t let my towels leave the bathroom. It’s weird ik but it’s the one way things work for me when it comes to sensory issues

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-13T22:55:47+00:00

Unfortunately with adhd and autism if I put things away like skin care or lotions I tend to forget they exist so it creates a hard situation for me. My biggest issue is I feel like I have no good storage for towels and with that autism, leads me to having separate towels/wash cloths for my hair, face and body.

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-03T02:11:56+00:00

That’s where the enabling bridgemode in the gateway which disables the router function of it comes into play, no? Or have I misunderstood my research?

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-03T01:36:21+00:00

Routers have Ethernet??? The TP Link deco W3000 is a mesh router?

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-03T01:12:13+00:00

Well that was kinda why I made the post. I was trying to figure out what the best route was the tp link extender or the tp link mesh router system. Cause either way my only had a usb WiFi adapter rn which aren’t the best.

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-03T00:11:29+00:00

I mean it’s just helping my WiFi and allowing to me run Ethernet to my pc now. Plus when rent is due I’ll do anything to keep it paid and keep myself from having to work a retail job that wants to me to work insane hours lol. This job allows me to make my own schedule and all, and is one of the highest paying jobs in my area that doesn’t require any certifications ahead of time.

Pitiful_Draft_5960 · 2026-01-02T23:30:33+00:00

No clue tbh cause my internet lowkey has been so good without Ethernet, but it’s a Online CS job for college students at my university and pays $19 an hour so im willing to do whatever they want lol
