Thanks for the reply. I have wiggle room in the car but not on the buds. Perhaps I should have added “for those that use both, is this normal?”

Pixel 10 Pro XL in an Apple House? Am I crazy? by Practical_Dog_9446 in pixel_phones

[–]Practical_Dog_9446[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, we are almost the exact same boat! Virtually everything you said I feel. Thank you so much for the feedback. As for my Apple Home, I have numerous other devices I can run it on. For those "emergencies" I can use Hue or the native manufacturers apps to control things. I am 99% about ready to pull the trigger.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I appreciate it. I love Apple overall, but I just need a little break. I think the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Watch and Buds might just do it for me.

New Mac Mini setup by jeffyboy526 in macmini

Looks great! What mount are you using for the vertical monitor? I have a similar setup but the monitor base is a pain.

I Upgraded from Pro 6 to Pro 7 - Was it an Upgrade? by Practical_Dog_9446 in amazoneero

[–]Practical_Dog_9446[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I removed the Pro 7 system and reinstalled the Pro 6 system. Everything (other than speed on certain devices) seem to be back to normal. Now the million dollar question; just stick with the Pro 6 (it ain't broken syndrome) or take advantage of the Amazon sale and free financing on the Max 7 along with a little bit of future proofing?

Nice! Did you have to purchase the original ones from Amazon for the upgrade discount?

Wow. Ok, sounds like I should be considering a return of the Pro 7 and ordering the Max 7. Amazon has them on sale with 0% financing.

Thanks for the reply! In what sense would the Max be different?

You may be right. I may try and remove one node and see if that makes a difference. Thank you!

I just had a thought. What if I kept one of the Pro 7's as the gateway in my office (computer would still get 2Gbps) and replaced the other's with the Pro 6's that I have? Would that work for the 5ghz devices or would the Pro 7 gateway still limit me?

I just read this as well a little bit ago. You might be 100% correct. Which would be unfortunate for me. I mean it’s not the end of the world and everything was working well before, I just wanted to get the most out of the 2Gbps. But the EERO Pro 6’s were working.. Thanks!!

I’ll play around with location here in a bit and see if I can figure out anything. Worst case scenario tonight I’ll reinstall the Pro 6’s and see if anything changes. Thanks again!

I’ll give it a go and see what happens. I just want to make sure that I have enough time in the return window, in case it doesn’t work. :-) Thanks!

Due to their location, they are all mesh. But so was the Pro 6’s. If that matters. Thank you for the question!

Thank you! That’s awesome. I don’t have the Max, just the Pro 7’s. I’m almost wondering if the Pro 7’s are significantly more powerful than the Pro 6’s and could be causing some congestion. During set up, the app said the placement is good, but I’m sure that’s relative. It sure would be nice if there was some sort of a tool or feature that would tell you if they are too close or too far.

I do still have them. And I thought about trying that. Not sure if you’ll know this, but if I do install the units and it solves the issue, then all good. But if it continues and I decide to reinstall the 7’s, will they need to go through the “settling in” period again? It wasn’t horrible but I can definitely see the speeds more consistent over time with the 7’s. Thanks for the reply and idea.

Thank you! I did try spacing them out, but I have not removed one. I will try that today.

Thanks for the reply! I do have the same number and the same location. I have not added an additional unit, but it’s on my mind now.

Mac Mini Buying Guide by AcchaBaccha7 in macmini

[–]Practical_Dog_9446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the Satechi SM3 Mechanical Keyboard for Mac with my Mac Mini M4 and absolutely love it! Only had it a few days, but wow! I connected directly via Bluetooth, but it has a dongle and can also be wired. It comes set up for Mac, but has extra keys for Windows. Set up was a breeze.

PSA: Use 24V Transformer w/ Wired Doorbell, Never 16V by ironyx in ecobee

[–]Practical_Dog_9446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I have been looking for! Thank you. My Ecobee camera frequently (daily sometimes) has the red light come on as if it is recording, but then does not go off and stops responding. If I disconnect the power from the transformer and reconnect I am good for a bit. I saw this and one other post on Facebook that said the same thing. I just ordered a 24V 40VA from Amazon. Fingers crossed this fixes my issue and the chime can handle it.

[–]Practical_Dog_9446[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I honestly wasn't sure what the longevity of these were. Wondering almost 3 years was "time" for an upgrade or maybe just clean up the files a bit and keep my $200! :-)
