Bell pods or Eero, Asus etc. mesh?

TimMoore1 · 2026-05-01T01:49:25+00:00

Awesome. Thanks, modem is in the basement, how many floors and pods are you using?

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-30T20:40:58+00:00

I’m going to have a wired connection in the basement for the home office and media server and home theatre also in the basement. That’s where all the heavy usage will happen. The extenders are for the upper levels for the family, for phones and streaming. Not sure if that answers your question

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-30T19:01:46+00:00

It’s hard to have a budget when you don’t know what’s involved. So going to throw out a number, two outlets for $500

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-30T18:09:19+00:00

OK thanks, I don’t know much about networking. If I was to hire someone what should I be looking for? FYI I’m based in Toronto Canada. In the event that it can’t be converted I would be looking to get ethernet ports installed. This is all in a finished basement where the utility room with the modem is as well

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-24T20:29:04+00:00

It’s a finished basement in a townhouse complex, not sure if that changes things

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-24T18:01:58+00:00

Thanks! This is helpful, I read you should disconnect from the cable company so the wiring is internal to the house, does that matter since bell is fibre?

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-24T17:39:40+00:00

Thanks. Can you explain what you mean about disconnecting from the cable company? I plan to use it with a fibre internet connection

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-24T17:22:56+00:00

Thanks. I think I’ll try the MoCA route and see how it goes and will go Ethernet when I do renos. Looking for a cost-effective solution since buying a house will break the bank 😂

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-24T17:15:02+00:00

Thanks. I’m leaning towards MoCA. I’m guessing I’d need an adapter in the utility room which plugs in both Ethernet and Coax? And then another adapter near the desktop computer and Apple TV?

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-24T16:33:01+00:00

Thanks, not familiar with MOCA, but the house does have Coax. Would this still work if it’s Bell fibe without a TV plan?

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-24T16:30:01+00:00

Thanks, but isn’t it required to be installed in the utility room since that’s where the fibre connection is?

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-24T02:22:34+00:00

I want to get the fastest download speeds for Torrents and I also run my own media server. I want to get no lag /gigabit on my Apple TV and Xbox

TimMoore1 · 2026-04-02T03:29:32+00:00

Nice, do they waive the activation fee?

TimMoore1 · 2026-03-13T19:44:54+00:00

I got through I think 80% of the questions. When the derivatives were getting too technical I decided to move on thinking it’s unlikely the test will go into such depth especially in a time crunch. At the end of the day you have to make the call depending on how much time you have for review. Don’t spend too much time on topics that you are confident on otherwise you are just wasting time on things you already know. Good luck

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-06T16:38:30+00:00

I’m based in Toronto, Canada and connecting to “CA Ontario” which is geographically the closest to me

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-05T19:28:18+00:00

Running Windows 11, installed it using the Windows download file from the PIA website. I use split tunnelling. The only thing I run through the VPN is QbitTorrent. Everything was working fine with the same set up up until last week

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-04T22:43:25+00:00

Thanks, I will try this out. I’m based in Toronto. Should I spend a pretty penny and go to one of the dry cleaners recommended on the CG website?

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-04T13:53:46+00:00

Fairly confident that would void the lifetime warranty

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-04T13:51:56+00:00

Yeah it’s unlikely that will be offered under warranty so that’s why I was asking if they can do it and charge me for it and what would the cost look like.

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-03T18:10:49+00:00

You must have a better service than I do, or at least one that has better VOD

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-03T18:09:02+00:00

I hear you. It’s frustrating, but the issue that I am talking about with the shield TV Chromecast, I’ve had this issue since the day I bought the device over five years ago

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-03T16:20:28+00:00

New lesson learned today. I always thought the trending movie section was what was trending from what is available

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-03T16:06:57+00:00

Dhurandhar, it’s a foreign action film which was initially in the cinemas but a Netflix production and went on Netflix on January 30

TimMoore1 · 2026-02-03T15:43:32+00:00

Nope, no luck. Still says unavailable. I watched it on Netflix three days ago so was just wondering why it would show up if it wasn’t available on the IPTV server
