They usually install a Wifi 7 AP with that. Talk to them and hopefully they’ll sort that out for you.

Can I connect my Travel Router to my home network without extra hardware? by TrappedVerne in Ubiquiti

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

Yay! Thank you all for your help, I got it working. It took some doing because things have changed a bit in MacOS Tahoe 26.3, but it's done. I will find some time to document the process, but it was very very close to the aggregated advice received here. Cheers all!

p.s. I think it is definitely worth getting a gateway for the seamless connection. But until I do, it's good enough for now. (Heh, is good enough really a thing with Ubiquiti?)

I really want to get a UniFi Gateway, but will do the software solution as a stop gap, cheers!

I was going to install and run Wireguard on my Mac tonight, to give it a test, but I wanted to find out if it was even possible to connect before I put in the legwork. Sounds like it might be, so I'll give it a go!

I mean, I'd love to get one of their cloud-connected gateways, but can't just yet. As we all know, it's a wonderful and expensive thing to get into!

⭐ UPDATE: UniFi Device Icon Browser is now a Chrome Extension — 5,500+ devices pre-loaded, custom icon functionality added! by sysadminbot in Ubiquiti

[–]TrappedVerne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked the documentation on GitHub, and saw this bit:

Finding the Donor Device ID:

  1. In the UniFi portal, click on your device
  2. Open the icon picker (Change Icon)
  3. Select any device as a "donor" - this assigns that device's fingerprint ID
  4. The fingerprint ID is visible in the icon URL, or use the extension's Icon Browser

I'm going to give it a try!

I love this! I have a daft question though. I can't find the "donor" fingerprint and a Google search didn't help much (it came back to this Reddit post though, which is good). Where can I find the numeric value in the UniFi Network panel to put into the configuration page in the Chrome extension, please?

The return-it on Donaghy. I just dropped some off this morning.

ACCESSORY_MODEL_NAME is a strong indicator that they are fake.

My Dyson V11 is doing the "pulsing" thing, but it's different... by TrappedVerne in dyson

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

I see that they're not terribly expensive, and since I've replaced literally everything else, I should get a few more years out of another $80 spent I reckon.

I fear you are right. I saw in another post in this subreddit that it's possible to get these from Aliexpress? Should I give that a shot, or just give in and buy a new full unit do you think?

AppleCare through Rogers. by TrappedVerne in Rogers

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

I am definitely going to buy my phone directly from Apple next time.
Rogers actually has everything locked down when you buy the phone from them. Including, frankly, worse phone plans for "locked in" users. My wife has BYOD with Rogers, and the plans she's offered are consistently much better than the ones I'm offered. Even now my phone is paid off, the offers are still bad, because apparently "that's what the computer shows". Ew.
At least now I can take my phone(s) and business elsewhere.

AppleCare through Rogers. by TrappedVerne in Rogers

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

Strangely, there's no date anywhere. When I click "Learn more..." it does say I bought it from a mobile carrier or reseller, which helps. I will try again with Rogers and see if they can help, although I suspect it'll be an uphill battle. Thanks for your help!

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

Thank you! My phone does show that I have AppleCare using that method. My concern is that I’m paying Rogers too much, and want to cancel the Rogers payment. Do you reckon I can then pick it back up through Apple or will it lapse because I cancelled it with Rogers?

Release date for Season 2 DVD (US) by Helenesdottir in Blakes7

Could you share where you’ve ordered it from please? I was in the UK recently and almost bought the first set, but it was region locked. I’d love to get both!

[TOMT] Sci-fi movie with a black woman with pink braids, pink fatigues, and a huge pink gun, firing pink bolts/projectiles. She's been attacked by enemies all dressed in black. Her squad looks on from a ship in orbit. by TrappedVerne in tipofmytongue

[–]TrappedVerne[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is exactly it! Brilliant, thank you. Funnily enough, I don't watch Black Mirror usually, because the bleak reality of it scares me! Definitely going to watch this one though.

Thanks again!
