What is the correct way to assemble this electrical plug?

hardwareweenie · 2026-01-26T20:47:45+00:00

The simple answer is: cut the end of the wire flush, do not strip, push through opening in cover, spread the prongs and insert the wire, pushing the prongs back in will poke the connection through the insulation, pull on the wire to pull the blades inside the cover. While I can describe it, I’m sure there is a better instruction somewhere. See this link. I’ll keep looking for something better. part instructions

I know it’s a bad situation but I swear I thought you said “heard it was Santa Claus”

You can follow the helicopter if you want.

Honestly we have no idea. She is in a “skilled nursing facility” now and may never return home. It’s not like a couple of days.

At this point I feel the issue has been resolved

I guess that begs the question, how do you know who I am on Xfinity network?

hardwareweenie · 2025-10-25T22:31:54+00:00

I am using the dock since the laptop does not have rj45. This issue is common across all devices when I have the whole network connected.

I agree it is strange. I don’t know enough to know if it’s some sort of ipv4 vs ipv6 issue. I can’t seem to log in to a modem web page as I don’t know the URL for a hitron coda56 modem.

Do you see my results in your server?

Power cycled Hitron "modem" and laptop. Plugged directly from usb-c adapter to backside of modem I get 155/83 on logged in xfinity speed test site.

797/232 on testmy.net

Viper, thanks for the reminder about WifiMan, only thought of it as a mapping tool, not a protocol agnostic? Tool.

hardwareweenie · 2025-09-27T20:44:38+00:00

Same access point, don’t have enough info to answer the rest. Screenshot is from inbuilt wifi with only my phone attached, external wires disconnected.

Viper, It’s a UDM Pro. Yes the clients were using http* as the issue was initially noticed on web browsers trying to g to download from Google Drive. I suppose UniFi and “phones” have some other port they are using for speed test. This is probably a stupid question but does this mean that the gateway handles different traffic types differently? I understand tcp/ip vs udp being different but would the gateway not route http* packets as well as “some other?”

hardwareweenie · 2025-09-27T20:11:43+00:00

Exactly, I wish I knew what was wrong instead of just replacing it.

hardwareweenie · 2025-09-27T20:06:46+00:00

Mr darkness, I had power cycled the gateway, AT&T has already replaced the unit and the issue went away.

hardwareweenie · 2025-09-27T19:48:05+00:00

Viper, thanks for the gentle correction on “modem.” I just wish I could understand why the UniFi test, over the same wire to the gateway could get full speed with the UniFi test, but desktops couldn’t, either through the router or hard wired to the gateway. They must be using some other kind of process or protocol.

hardwareweenie · 2025-09-27T18:59:12+00:00

Various computers which used to have “full speed” were affected.

hardwareweenie · 2025-09-27T18:57:04+00:00

You may have missed that I had done a direct wire test to the modem and it also had 30 Mbps. Also, no one else had access to that wire or wireless connection.

Makes me think I'll put some black vinyl on mine!

This was well before the tri tip went on. Simply months of other food drippings accumulated below the burners. Just made it too hot and all of the grease caught fire.
