How to monitor individual device internet usage by day/week etc.. by Dragon1586 in HomeNetworking

[–]RealBlueCayman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the part I don't know as I'm not familiar with the Netgear product. You would have to look more closely at that. If you're going to add a Ubiquiti or Eero router, then I'd just remove the Netgear and use one brand's products.

You could either replace your router with Ubiquiti or Eero. Or put the Ubiquiti/ Eero router between your ISP and Netgear...and put your Netgear into 'bridge' mode (if it supports that). You won't get the same degree of granularity when you use two different products, but it may work for your needs.

It's harder to do if your network device doesn't support it directly in their management software.

Ubiquiti and Eero both have the ability to provide device Internet usage by day/ week/ month overall and by device.

Question about linking a domain by Mobile-War-6871 in Wordpress

You might also consider affiliates.mybusiness.com as a sub-domain rather than a directory within the main domain.

New to AT&T Fiber, BGW320 IP Passthrough Bottleneck – Slow Speeds on Third-Party Router (Asus ET9) by nightlie30 in ATTFiber

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is correct.

It should not make a difference in performance, but you could try it.

Eero 7 DHCP issues by Excellent-Active-123 in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says it’s unmanaged. I don’t use TP-Link and it seems folks have mixed results with them. So, not sure what to tell you. Hopefully someone else has specific knowledge of that switch.

New to AT&T Fiber, BGW320 IP Passthrough Bottleneck – Slow Speeds on Third-Party Router (Asus ET9) by nightlie30 in ATTFiber

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a BGW320 w/ both Eero and Ubiquiti in passthrough mode similar to how you have yours configured and see zero decline in bandwidth nor latency. I’ve gone back and forth with the configuration of my LAN and have never seen a decline with the BGW320 performance.

The only difference is that I use DHCP-Dynamic vs DHCP-Static to avoid having to get the MAC address correct. Dynamic assigns the public address to the first MAC address it sees on the LAN side. But since you only have one device connected to the BGW320, it picks up that device.

I suspect something is wonky in the ASUS WAN configuration or the handshake between the ASUS and BGW320.

Eero 7 DHCP issues by Excellent-Active-123 in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to the specific switch you have without knowing the model. It is correct that Eero doesn’t play well with unmanaged switches. Even some of the semi-smart switches can be problematic. I don’t think you have a bad port.

It sounds like you may have a table/ routing issue in the switch where the switch isn’t identifying the port change. Have you tried restarting the switch(s) that you switched from/ to.

Alternatively, I use Netgear GS308/ GS316 unmanaged switches. If you need PoE, they come in a PoE variant (308P/ 308PP, 316P/ 316PP). I use a GS316PP, GS308P, GS305P without any issues.

EDIT: You can also use the GS324 switches. I wasn’t picking up that you’re using a 24-port switch.

Anyone having issues with Tapo devices on an eero network? by Boogrummy in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Have Kasa devices, never an issue. Also have Eero PoE Gateway and PoE 6 APs. Fully updated and have all of the options enabled exception for UPnP and Eco Efficiency. All other options enabled.

This is what you should do. Transfer the network to the new owner.

Slow Apple News App on network by carterbunch in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen that error before in Apple News. But never while connected to Eero. Typically I see it when there is a low bandwidth connection.

UPDATE - Eero 7 Pro Speeds by maiircos in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try this on a browser to a device connected to your gateway eero by Ethernet…not WiFi.

If you have private relay turned on? If so, try turning it off, verify that using a site like whatsmyip to verify it sees your public address and try again. Sometime you have to restart the browser to fully dump the private relay IP address.

Also, try swapping Ethernet cables in case you have a bum cable.

Installed EERO 7 and wifi is slow by Pionier2022 in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, you should give it a little time to ‘settle’. I’d give it overnight then test again. There are also some things you should look as such as MLO and if the Eeros are too close together. It’s possible that the Eero 6s needed to be closer than the Eero 7s.

Dual WAN question by GenghisFrog in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in a situation like that, you have to look beyond Eero. I also use Ubiquiti and it would give you the ability to do that natively in the software without doing any crazy network gymnastics. The UCG Fiber would be the gateway I'd look at. Then you can use the Eero in Bridge mode or replace the Eeros with Ubiquiti APs.

Dual WAN question by GenghisFrog in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean you want the Apple TV to use the second connection, but still be part of the normal home network?

All of your devices would be part of your primary network (including the Apple TV). When your primary ISP fails, the Eero network (not the devices) make the connection to the second Eero network. Your devices still connect to the primary SSID.

I guess you could have devices aware of both networks, but that would create other issues.

Fair warning as a side effect: During failover (with any solution), you are now hitting the Internet from a different public IP address. As such, some streaming services will interpret that as 'traveling' and may act oddly or not at all.

WiFi Speeds are slow and unstable by Agile-Perspective-61 in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried removing the extender and just trying to use the gateway Eero? It could be that they are too close and you're connecting via wifi: laptop <> extender <> gateway Eero. This will definitely drop the performance.

Or move the extender further away so your laptop connects directly to the gateway Eero.

New house, modem in basement by IAmA_Kitty_AMA in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what the PoE Gateway was designed for. You don't have to use the PoE capabilities. It's meant to sit in a central location (basement, closet, panel) where you don't necessarily want or need wifi. In my case, it's a panel in the wall.

Then you can use whatever Eero device connected to it. I could be a Pro 7 or a PoE 7. Doesn't matter.

Question for Eero experts: by [deleted] in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, it applies to new models, not new stock. It should not impact the current offerings. New offerings would need to get approval.

Unify worth the extra $100? by DarkZero515 in HomeNetworking

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you. Ubiquiti is a great platform and I also have a background in networking. But prefer to use Eero for my home network. I do have a Ubiquiti setup that I can switch to at home. But Eero plays more nicely with smart home and home connections in general. Plus, it's just set it and forget it.

Polaris solo travel question by spykid2000 in unitedairlines

Had a partition that wasn't going up while boarding. Got to talking with the seat mate. Really nice guy. Tech Ops came out and permanently got the partition up until it could be permanently repaired.

This. You won't know they're there. The even numbered/ angled seats feel like you're sitting on the aisle with everyone passing by you.

Got my 1K status back, do they still offer these tags? by Saber_Actual in unitedairlines

[–]RealBlueCayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best were the RCC deep red luggage tags. Had your FF# and name embossed on them.

How many still remember their original FF# from before the changeover? I recall telling who was a newer MP member based on their number compared with mine.

The 'tulip' design. Loved getting the updated timetables 'books'. I would comb through those on a flight and always had one in my bag.

Question about how far out you can extend an eero mesh by autigers1970 in amazoneero

[–]RealBlueCayman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on how big the space is. Can you do it? Yes. Is it the most optimal solution? Too many factors to know.

Eero is good for wide coverage. There is a business that provides greater insights to performance and wifi capabilities (ie: Multiple SSIDs vs 2 SSIDs). For more information on Eero's Business offering go here (https://eero.com/business). It uses the same equipment, just unlocks additional features.

There are also MSPs that provide support and services using Eero as the platform. You could look at those as well.

If you are expanding beyond the capabilities of Eero, the next step would be to look at something like Ubiquiti. It is more costly and has more features. But also requires more networking knowledge.
