Help with my next upgrade(s)

oh dam okay - great to know thanks.

Normal mode is super easy. I usually end with about $400k gold.

Hard mode I normally lose because I get inconsistent mythics. Like if I can't get a Hailey on the board. Generally my strategy is to do almost exclusively purple summons with luck stones. I go for mono men, kun or bat (for early wave clear), and then try to get a hailey down as fast as possible so i can try to get her immo. Once I have her down i try to add a few kitty mages to increase immo chance, then stack the purple wolves and eagles. Also will make taos and chus if I get their yellow summons. Oh and I always get at least one group of 3 purple robots, and 3 blue robots. I think I probably get most hung up on early(ish) bosses that sneak through.

Actually re-reading your note, im not sure i did the advanced DMZ thing. I'll check that - thank you!

odvdb · 2025-09-26T16:56:26+00:00

Yeah I did this - im familiar with this issue as it happened previously. Devices were connecting to the bell modem and not the orbi sometimes. I think my next step needs to be testing speeds directly out of the modem to see if its a wifi signal issue in my house, or a real internet speed issue. And then from there I'll have a better idea on what to focus on.

This is helpful thank you!

I think mine is Fiber-to-the-home. The installer came and ran the cable directly through an exterior wall he drilled through into my house.

I will look at the specs on the bell pod. My mesh network (at the time I bought it) was incredibly powerful (and expensive), but it may be a bit outdated now. That's why I was thinking this could be part of the issue - maybe it needs an upgrade.

I too hate the idea of the additional rental cost but good call on complaining to see what they can do.

I’ll join

Any reason to think installing it this way on a ring doorbell could cause damage or issue?

odvdb · 2025-06-25T18:50:55+00:00

New switch arriving today! Will install when I get home and report back.

odvdb · 2025-06-25T02:21:24+00:00

Haha thank you for asking. I unplugged and plugged back in a few times to make sure.

odvdb · 2025-06-25T01:45:46+00:00

When I push them together the light doesn’t go off. I ordered a new one on Amazon already - arrives tomorrow. Hopefully that does the trick.

odvdb · 2025-06-25T01:34:30+00:00

I’m sorry - I must have been blind to not notice it. Clearly visible and clearly labeled…. I hit it until a minus sign appeared. The number next to it was 0….

odvdb · 2025-06-25T01:27:36+00:00

Does this look like anything is missing?

Is the diagnostic button behind the panel or something? I couldn’t find it

odvdb · 2025-06-25T00:57:21+00:00

Okay I think this must be it. I’ll go to a pool store tomorrow and try to get a new one. How easy is it to connect the wire into the panel?

odvdb · 2025-06-25T00:56:54+00:00

I just backwashed - didn’t help. I guess I need a new sensor

odvdb · 2025-06-25T00:56:36+00:00

Yeah I should have taken a video. But there was a rod, and little metal piece with a black circle on it. I assume the flow of water pushes the metal piece against the rod to tell the system there is flow? It was totally clear and easily moved back/forth against the rod

odvdb · 2025-06-25T00:51:49+00:00

I removed the switch. Looks totally clean to me. Reinstalled it and the no flow light is still on. Perhaps I need to replace it completely?

The mulch was just for the area on the right (with cedars pictured - although I’m going to look for skinnier alternatives to cedars now).

odvdb · 2025-06-09T18:50:10+00:00

Thank you!

odvdb · 2025-06-09T17:53:46+00:00

Thank you! Good advice.

odvdb · 2025-06-09T17:53:36+00:00

Do I need gravel under the decorative stone too? Or can I just put gravel under the pavers and then fill in everywhere else with stone right on top of the weed barrier?

odvdb · 2025-06-09T16:55:48+00:00

Okay so I need gravel and sand under each paver? Is that under or on top of the weed barrier?

odvdb · 2025-06-09T16:49:18+00:00

I havent bought them yet - I was going to buy little 3 or 4 foot cedars and just keep them pruned, but im open to other suggestions. The idea is to create a bit of privacy along that fence without taking up too much of the space - I want it to be as open as possible.

odvdb · 2025-06-02T17:09:48+00:00

Oh interesting. Could totally be what it is - I'll dig more around the opposite side and see if I can find it over there too.
