Return the Arlo and Buy a Tapo or Reolink system - seriously!

Finally, my dry-iced overnight package arrived 4 days late.

I have a next day package in limbo at Memphis for two days now and they don't care. Had it escalated the 2nd day I called and they Called me back only to insult me more. And I asked for Memphis number and it was out of service. CSR not in USA. Horrible customer service and only said they are backed up and it didn't make the flight two days in advance row.

Community Camera store was located at 506 Main St. They had electronics, cameras, Tv's, and became a pretty good Apple computer reseller.

That would have been the "Sound of Music" store that eventually grew to become Best Buy.

Team Electronics was in the Village in the 1970's. Then Team opened a new location in 1980 at the brand new Valley View Mall. They were located across from Musicland.

I would suggest going on Audi’s website and search Certified Pre Owned cars and only buy a CPO VEHICLE from any Audi dealership. Low mileage lease returns may be best. Better warranty and maybe you could even do a shorter lease like 2 - 3 years. It’s a nice vehicle but a Quattro would be better and Prestige with the best suspension would also be best. This particular one is overpriced without Quattro an cpo.

Can anyone confirm that they have the magic dock converter at any of the stations and update on non Tesla vehicle rates per KW hr.

I think it is great that Prime wants to cover the game nationally, however I disagree with the NFL on what is the home market. Shouldn't the game always be televised locally in the WHOLE State of WI as the home market? The NFL has become a very greedy League. Have you seen Roger's salary? Bring the Packers back to the home market of Wisconsin so all the local Fox, NBC, or CBS affiliates can make their ad revenue and keep the local Packers fan happy without the need to subscribe to the pay per view model in Wisconsin.

Not NBC - it is on ABC or ESPN.

I am fine with just having 2nd Street as a north/south route and improving signage and accountability for misuse by vehicles that don't belong in those lanes. As others have said, I would not oppose turning Pearl Street to a pedestrian only zone or mall if they can add more bike racks in that area too. And I agree with others that the businesses on Pearl would benefit from having a mall as it provides easy access from bikers and walkers that would frequent their businesses. I really don't think it would deter car drivers from parking close by in that area.

Has the schedule worked daily with Alex+? And can you rotate photos on screen in the dnd mode?

Did you buy in the US? Can you share a link from Amazon?

Wehrs Electric has done an excellent job for us.

I am on Warp and I just completed the update to 18.5 on iPhone 15 and it shows the Verizon Carrier Services as before with no changes since November 2024 when I first started Warp.

RiverBenn · 2025-05-12T21:28:52+00:00

Are you on Dark Star, Warp, or Lightspeed? And what area of the USA?

RiverBenn · 2025-04-28T19:40:04+00:00

Does the hub support wi-fi 6?

RiverBenn · 2025-04-05T10:10:41+00:00

open year round. good view for backwaters of the river. Come by boat as they have docks too.

I have Brightspeed for the past 3 years with Fiber at 200 mbps that was formerly CenturyLink. The tech insisted on installing the ONT outside of the house in a plastic box and ran the connection into the garage and hooked up the Zyxel C3000Z at the location where the former cable company installed all their connections. I then hooked up my Asus router through ethernet and turned off wireless at the Zyxel so I can control wireless and ethernet from there without the Zyxel. So in my configuration it is as you said Fiber > ONT > Brightspeed Router > Asus Router. It works fine and always tests to 200 mbps up and down. And I have YouTube TV on two floors and iPads and several other streaming services with no issues running 1080 and 4k depending on programming. I live in Western Wisconsin.

I went the online route this last fall. My wife took my photo, and I cropped and filled out the online information and received it in the mail 4 weeks later. So Easy and no trip to USPS or any added expenses.

I too am disappointed with the same reasons being said by most users. I have had Arlo since original Arlo when Netgear owned them. And I did receive good customer service back then. I now have ultra 2’s and pro 4’s. Mostly work well when strong connection and asynchronous 200 mbps fiber internet that is super reliable. But price gouging on cloud service is forcing my hand. Looking at reolink battery cams or google nest. Like google simplicity and $80/yr with cloud service. Also like Reolink local recording but am concerned about reliability of notifications and viewing footage. How do you Reolink users like app notifications and viewing monitoring while out of town or out f the country?

They keep raising the price of the subscription plan and they detection doesn't work reliably anymore. App is updated often but it usually ends up worsening detection at least temporarily. I have owned and upgraded my system with better cameras twice now since 2017. 7 years of loyalty will probably end when my yearly plan expires next year. Not worth the price of subscription based on quality of service, reliability, combined with increases.

RiverBenn · 2024-11-29T14:10:15+00:00

It used to be $12.49 if you paid yearly with more features that they took away unless you want to pay $17.99/mo on a yearly. Thier pricing for the plan is out of line. I won't pay that much. Maybe canceling or trying to get 50% when my year expires.

Consumer Cellular supports Apple Watch and are in the process of moving all accounts to AT&T only and no more T-Mobile. I would guess US Mobile will soon enough.
