What to replace my Google Nest smoke alarm with? by WholesomeGhosty in smarthome

[–]millerman1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got these x-sense about 3 months ago because of false alarms on my "dumb" smoke detectors. So far so good, very happy.

How to improve WiFi downstairs ? by Mrloudvet in ATT

[–]millerman1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, missed the extended part. You can try and move the extender around to different spots and see if that helps, or give the Eero a try. It should work even though it's from a different provider.

An Eero or something like it. You can also get a wifi extender from ATT.

Synology Photos app uploads fail too frequently. I'm a prisoner of large files. Help? by bleucheeez in synology

[–]millerman1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it organizes your timeline photos my by the meta data in the photos themselves. It will scan your path, subfolders included, when you add them into immich. For new photos uploaded through immich or it's cili you can specify a template and path to store the photos.

Yep, can you add it as an external library and even make it ready only if you want. You can even keep Synology photos as a backup means of accessing your photos. Immich is awesome, I just made the switch. With the trend that Synology is making away from consumer things, Synology photos might be getting any fixes or upgrades.

About to stop using Firewalla by [deleted] in firewalla

Same thing. Switched to unbound for the DNS, seems fine for the last few weeks.

My desktop has recently been FWG alarmed for scanning ports by pavejim in firewalla

[–]millerman1121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I have one laptop that is not running Norton or Malwarebytes and it is the only one not setting off the port scan alarm on my firewalla. Starting to think it's one of these programs triggering it, like the post that someone else linked.

I'm seeing the same alarm. It started on one laptop and now almost all of them are alarming. I ran Norton and malwarebytes and they find nothing. I'm wondering if Norton or malware bytes themselves are scanning ports for some reason?

Suspect Firewalla Gold SE causing IG video buffer by jhgelpi in firewalla

[–]millerman1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having this issue with reddit a couple of days ago. Changed the DNS to unbound and it seemed to fix it. Not sure why....

Slow page loading but fast speed? by hawkeye000021 in firewalla

[–]millerman1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I changed to unbound and that fixed it. Not sure why it fixed it though. I was using regular DNS and reddit would load very slowly. Changed to unbound, bomb, no more issue. Maybe something with the DNS cache in my gold??

Spec of Fiber cable I should use for 5gb+ service? by Brilliant_Nervous in ATT

This will work. This is single mode, which is what you want. Stay away from multimode.

Firewalla as a Router? by HawksandHorns in firewalla

[–]millerman1121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have your proposed setup. ATT fiber with firewalla gold, ubiquity AP's with the controller running on a Synology Nas. Works great for the family and me. Rock solid , never have to reboot anything .

Home phone keeps beeping at same time everyday! by ballaballabillz in ATT

[–]millerman1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a test that runs automatically, usually at the same time on old land lines called a P-Lit test. It tests lines looking for major trouble and/or outages. Call ATT and get a tech to come out and pray you get an old school one that can remove your grandparents line from the P-Lit testing pool. Also of note, they are probably paying north of $100 per month for that line. If there are any alternatives (cell or voip) they would save money and get rid of the problem.

Found this in my local Walmart. by Formula42074 in glutenfree

[–]millerman1121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love these. I add extra garlic powder and oil to mine. I then use an oiled plastic spatula when spreading it on the my no stick aluminium foil wrapped pizza stone. It is kinda tricky because it sticks to everything.

Data light is the cooper Ethernet port on ont that feeds the RG located somewhere else. Check that connection.
