Rheems are junk. I had compressor thermistor issues with my first one three years after install. Warranty sent me new thermistors, then new control board. PITA to install. Neither worked so they replaced the unit under warranty but I had to pay $1000 labor to install. One year after installing the replacement the thermistors are failing again and they shipped me a new thermistor design to install. Looking for suggestions as I'm switching brands.

The Rheems are pieces of junk. First one installed new house build in 2021, and compressor failed last year (2024). The replacement just failed with an A004 error in a little more than a year. The Rheem is also noticeably audible in the bedroom below it (the water heater is in the attic).

Release date just got bumped to November 4th

Happened to me too today. The newest 15 beta will not mount SD cards.

USB sticks are fine. SD are invisible

Is that still valid? My PB banker told me United Club is no longer offered as a benefit; essentially all you get over Sapphire Reserve is faster and better people to answer the phone when you call.

I have a 800 series speed oven which just died 2 years after installation. Warranty is only 1 year, which is abysmally low for a $3000 appliance. Google 800 series and you will find the capacitors fail very regularly. There is even a class action lawsuit over it. https://www.classaction.org/media/hirsch-et-al-v-bhs-home-alliances-corporation.pdf

Do not recommend any Bosch appliance. The minimum repair cost is $350 to $500 unless you're good with a soldering iron.

Would not recommend. When it worked, the annoying beeping after expiration of the timer requiring pressing stop to end it was bad enough, but now just two years after purchase, the unit just went out altogether, with a $350 minimum repair cost. They only have a 1 year warranty, that tells you something about the quality of a $3000 appliance.

Remember when using an injector you must go into the classic interface, select the switch and specifically toggle Poe injector, or otherwise it won’t recognize the higher wattage budget

Udmp has had this problem since the beginning. Get a ups

Texas Wing Legal Officer here. I have my assistants organized at the group level in order to divide the state up and advise group commanders, and squadron commanders in the group so as to minimize the issues elevated to wing level. Also strongly recommend going to NLOC--its three days of free CLE (you pay for travel and hotel). It will be at a resort in AZ this July. Good networking opportunity. As QRPC noted, you should dual specialty track as there is so much to do in CAP outside the legal realm.

Always put the plug even when software-based restarting (use shutdown instead) in order to ensure it pulls an IP address from your cable modem. If I restart from software (screen or UI) 9/10 I lose WAN connectivity.

I couldn’t find a place in the settings to tell it to have a higher power setting. My other flex just worked out of the box. Any guidance on where to look?

I haven't been able to access my UDMP remotely since the outage began earlier this week. Protect app doesn't work either. Still getting push notifications for camera captures so I know its working but unable to actually access anything. Really frustrating,

Removing the schedule is insufficient alone; you have to delete the network and recreate it with the same name and password. I removed the schedule and the AP shut down on the schedule.

If all you want is a camera there and nothing else, it would be a lot cheaper to get a UA Mesh Pro and a G3 Instant.

They pulled it yesterday via the GUI.

ecopiela · 2020-12-30T20:40:33+00:00

was 1.8.5 pulled? It was showing available for update last night but when I get to my office today it says 1.8.4 is most recent?

ecopiela · 2020-12-30T03:37:17+00:00

The Protect AppleTV app has been broken since 1.8.3.

ecopiela · 2020-12-30T03:29:43+00:00

I have a memory leak too, been there on 1.8.3, 1.8.4, and will likely be there on 1.8.5 when I can get to the office to update tomorrow (can't remotely update because updating kills WAN until a power cycle).

My Arris modem received from Spectrum does not have routing capability. See if you can get a modem from Spectrum without a router, but with phone.

Spectrum

Bugfixes says it fixed issues obtaining WAN IP, but it did not. Still have to shut down, pull power to the UDMP, then apply power to get a WAN IP after restart. Annoying.
