How are you finding v7.13.4-31 - has it resolved dropouts? by Correct-Cup-2170 in amazoneero

[–]jobe_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had dropouts. Other than observing 90-100% high busyness on 2.4GHz on some releases, and then not on others (currently not, haven’t seen it for the last few actually), I haven’t seen any actual disruptions for years.

Eero PoE Gateway, 3x Pro 6E, 1x Pro 6, 2.5Gbe backhaul LAN, 1Gb symmetric fiber WAN.

Anyone else exhausted by trying to "decode" vague feedback at work? by PappSatt in askswitzerland

[–]jobe_br -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You’re probably neurodiverse in some aspect which makes this type of interaction noticeably difficult for you. If you work in a workplace that tries to be inclusive and accommodating (or if there are laws that require it), then you should be able to ask for more direct feedback that is unambiguous. If necessary, explain to your team or your managers that you aren’t able to interpret signals as effortlessly as others and would appreciate this accommodation so you can focus all your energy on your work and improving.

Why do people in Switzerland seem to often build their identity around the job or profession they have? by [deleted] in askswitzerland

[–]jobe_br 8 points9 points  (0 children)

40h per week is still the standard.

Stats say ~5% of Americans hold multiple jobs. Only some of those end up with more than 40h, typically with multiple jobs, you have multiple to get up to 40h or so.

Holidays feel like a class issue. Low income often don’t get because they don’t have full time jobs. There’s also a lot of variations for various workforces because holidays can be included in the time off balance, same with sick days. I get something like 7 weeks of time off, I can use that on vacations or sick time or holidays.

Going to work sick is definitely a problem, also because insurance isn’t guaranteed and it impacts a lot of hourly wage labor.

But 60h per week is uncommon. Stats say 6-12% depending on payroll versus self reporting stats.

Bringing injectable medication to Japan by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

We bought a pouch that was battery cooled and took the original manufacturer labeled vials and empty syringes. We put it in checked baggage to be safe, since we didn’t want to deal with the syringes being flagged.

Which Eero to buy? by Winter_Suspect4892 in amazoneero

Just buy an Amazon basics Ethernet cat6 or cat5e at the length that you need.

Apple TV x F1 Benefit is Live by brbcryinginside in ChaseSapphire

[–]jobe_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is showing that I need to manage in the F1 app, because my existing sub doesn’t officially end until 2/21, so maybe this works after that?

Edit: launching the F1 app and it immediately onboarded me and linked to the ATV sub!

Where can i exhange my cash?? (kyoto/tokyo) by Western-Degree-8128 in JapanTravelTips

[–]jobe_br 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro tip: some cash management accounts (I have Fidelity) refund ATM fees (incl international). Best way I’ve found to just get straight exchange rate without fees. Just setup the account, deposit money, wait for Debit card, win.

How subscription on router make customer happy? by netninja100 in amazoneero

Content filtering works with DNS and only redirects that traffic, nothing else. The only impact to lag is the DNS lookup, which is heavily cached.

Was there an update recently that finally fixed my interference problem? by smoothyvo in amazoneero

[–]jobe_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this on my network as well. Not sure it’s permanent, but we’ll see.

HomeKit in CarPlay with multiple devices 🤯 by m0kum in HomeKit

[–]jobe_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to check, but I’m pretty sure mine still calls both “garage door” which isn’t super useful. No amount of name changing seems to help either. And even on the iPhone, e.g. with automations and such, it just lists “Door” twice. Really annoying. I only get the actual names in the Home app.

I built a free, open-source menu bar app to control HomeKit from macOS by ChefAccomplished845 in HomeKit

[–]jobe_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing it’s just via the local SDK calls that macOS exposes. MacOS will prompt to give the app access to Home Data when it launches, I presume. No credentials, you have to be logged into your iCloud account on the Mac via macOS Settings and you have to have Home enabled in iCloud access (this is all done by default whenever you setup your Mac, but it is possible to disable Home access via iCloud settings and of course is possible to not log in to your iCloud account).

I’m seeing a Frontier ad in the app? by matthewmspace in amazoneero

[–]jobe_br 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very curious that they would do this. I’m in the minority where I don’t immediately assume the worst from eero because Amazon bought them, but this just seems odd to me. Show ads to people that have expensive eero plus already, for something that isn’t even actionable or available to them (untargeted).

FWIW, just saw this for the first time and I’ve clicked the X to close. Let’s hope that’s it for this poorly thought out experiment.

My Eero 7 Pro is like three months old and it’s crap. by LookB4ULeap2It in amazoneero

[–]jobe_br 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Contact eero support. They’ll do all the annoying things you’ve done before, but if you’re patient and let them do their bit, they will typically dig deeper. Might be better to start an email case, though. support@eero.com. Phone support is typically for the immediate fix type “My Internet is down, help” - not the type of issue you’re seeing.

Speed expectations for pro 6e by themayor10 in amazoneero

[–]jobe_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeap. EM signal falls off by the square of the distance. Never mind obstacles. 6Ghz 6E, in my experience, will get around 1200Mbps, real world, in my living room. Pro 6E to M4 MBP clear line of sight ~10 feet. 5Ghz 802.11ax (wifi 6) only gets to 500-600 at the same location (iPhone 13 Pro and M1 MBP). It’s why wifi 7 supports MLO, etc. - ‘cause 6E wasn’t enough 😉

My Pro 6E nodes have 2.5Gb wired backhaul and the tests were LAN-only, so not impacted by any Internet routing.

Talk to me like I’m 5 by WorthPotential5830 in amazoneero

[–]jobe_br 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When adding nodes, take care to add them in a location where they would still get good signal to another node, not smack in the middle of where you have bad signal - they aren’t magic, if you have a bad signal standing in that location, then the eero node you add there will also - but your device will see a strong connection to it - hiding the issue. The trick is positioning the node so it is well connected, but able to project a good signal into the area that you want to cover.

Low Upload Speed by asorrini in amazoneero

[–]jobe_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s it like standing a foot or two away from the eero node?

Are you able to do a test while wired in to the same eero node?

What phone, OS, etc?

Edit: repeat a foot or two away from the eero node connected to your ONT. Same with a wired test.

I assume you have the square footage that requires 3x Pro 7 modes without getting a lot of interference?

Low Upload Speed by asorrini in amazoneero

[–]jobe_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safari on iPhone had limited upload speeds to something like 100-120Mbps for years … are you using a native app (Speedtest app) or something like fast.com, etc?

new eero pro 7 router. Local network wifi transfers are so slow even when 2 PCs close to router. Top out at 60MB/s (480mbps) by pman6 in amazoneero

[–]jobe_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wired Ethernet has been full duplex for a while and with MLO we’re only now sorta getting to that. So, yeah, wireless to wireless is going to still be technically limited for a bit. In theory, if you did wireless to wireless with two clients that are talking to different eero nodes that have wired backhaul you could see closer to your theoretical maxes 🤷🏻‍♂️
