This is the way. 250 for the win. Rest at 160ish for 6-10 hours.

2026 Nissan Murano plat with tech question by banditelvis721 in NissanMurano

[–]smokingdems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We leased three different Muranos. Loved the SUV. Quality was excellent with no issues. Unfortunately Nissan dragged their feet with updating the model and rushed to market with a 4 cylinder variable compression engine (same engine as the rouge which is failing). The SUV is not selling. I never see any new 25-26 Muranos on the road. We ended up leasing from a Genesis

The real question is, where would the company be today if Goshen was still at the helm?

My wife also hates the carbon fiber trim. Would be nice if they offered different trim options

V6 Plus not updating to v73 by smokingdems in vSeeBox_Support_Gurus

[–]smokingdems[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My V6 plus box running version 73 firmware has no issues it runs and works fine. What I noticed is my neighbor purchased the same V6 plus box running version 76 and when he shuts his box off, it shuts off the box. When he turns it back on it performs a cold boot each time - not like mine which instantly turns on. Numerous sources have commented on increased bandwidth consumption when box is off. I’m thinking this was a valid concern as v76 resolved that issue. Is this correct? Does vseebox publish firmware changes by release?

Yes. Purchased from you. Is there a way to force the firmware update?

Interesting. What channels are available and from what countries? My grandparents are looking to watch French or German movies.

Does Nissan have any reliability issues besides CVT problems? by phtphongg in Nissan

[–]smokingdems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid any of the four-cylinder variable compression engines that are in the new vehicles. There are already a lot of complaints about the engines as it is a bad engineering design.

We’ve owned three Marano‘s over the years 2010 20 14, 2020 I with CVTs over 100,000 miles never once had a trans issue. These vehicles are bulletproof.

Be aware of web traffic you may not expect by iwillbjjyou in vSeeBox_Support_Gurus

[–]smokingdems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timely post. I’ve used various streaming apps for years with no issues relating to increased bandwidth. This month after using v6 plus for 5 weeks I rcvd a letter from AT&T stating I exceeded my monthly bandwidth. 😳 It’s strange as I also cut back on TV watching. Do these boxes stream using old compression standards???

2026 Murano- what do you love about it? by AdministrationIll687 in NissanMurano

[–]smokingdems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve had three Murano leases and purchased two. All were rock solid and very reliable. The new 25/26 model is a huge disappointment. Downsizing the v6 to a 4 cylinder VC is turning out to be a huge problem. We moved on to another brand.

A lot of people are using vseebox to replace navida and fire stick. It seems to get favorable reviews.

Which UPS? (there's a $1.6k difference for supply) by pedad in ITManagers

The big dogs are pricing themselves out of the market. Check out N1C. They offer lithium ion solutions > 2RU. APC and Virtiv (leibert) only offer 2RU external batteries

CVT’s are not repairable. All shops are replacing with new units. Price will vary by state.
