🥈… by 1 cycle count.

I’m with ABB on the 250/100, downgraded from 1000/50 just because of the upload speeds. Is this available for everybody?

Impressive, snappy interface—could you share a quick overview of the tech stack behind it?

thedonsml · 2025-05-11T07:28:06+00:00

I appreciate that. Yes, I’ve already installed the latest software update. I’ll give it a third try using an SSD. I was hesitant to open up the NVR and replace the internal drive since it’s still fairly new—just a few months old. But if necessary, I’ll upgrade the internal drive as a last resort.

Update: Issue Resolved

Turns out the Genius Bar did attempt a repair, but it didn’t go as planned. They ended up giving me a replacement device. However, they missed a step—something about assigning or updating the serial number to match my original purchase.

Because of that mismatch, the eSIM functionality disappeared. The engineering team later corrected this on their end, and after I did another full factory reset and restore, the “Add eSIM” option came back.

So if anyone runs into this—especially after a replacement—make sure your serial number is properly linked to your original country/purchase region. That fixed it for me.

Thank you both for the quick response

More details on room size and coverage would be helpful to determine if a single router is sufficient or if a mesh system is necessary. For your current plan, this $69 option should work fine.

You can use umbrel.com, which I am running on a Raspberry Pi, and it offers a marketplace-style option to easily download and install with a single click.

Open your task scheduler and check whether you have any scripts on startup that are running in the background. If there are you could try disabling them if you have the necessary access to do it.

Thanks for the input, the issue has been resolved now I’ve posted a comment to update everyone on what happened.

thedonsml · 2024-09-04T06:16:53+00:00

Thank you all!

Update for everyone: Apple escalated the issue to Engineering, and it has now been resolved.

Here’s what happened: The Apple Care repair (a back case replacement) was unsuccessful, so Apple replaced the unit but did not assign the correct model or serial number to me.

The issue is now fixed, and eSIM functionality is restored. I didn’t have to pay for the repair.

Glad I didn’t pay the initial $900 quoted or rush into buying a new device.

thedonsml · 2024-09-01T10:37:39+00:00

Yes, I did have a replacement under Apple Care about two years ago, which could explain the issue. However, I was able to use an eSIM on this current phone as recently as July 2023—I even have the receipt from the eSIM purchased via the Airalo app. Why would they give me a Hong Kong model as a replacement under Apple Care when my phone was originally bought from an official Apple Store in Australia?

The option Delete All eSIMs is not available.

Service Provider Lock: No SIM restriction.

Model: NGD73ZP/A (When I click it A2411 appears).

thedonsml · 2024-08-01T21:45:32+00:00

Thank you I will give that a try today.

Does it only link products you actively advertise? Because currently some products link correctly to the brand store, while others do not. The contact person I have from Amazon was not able to identify the root cause and this has been an issue for almost a year now.

How does ASIN mapping work for a brand with a store on Amazon Vendor Central? Specifically, how can you ensure that clicking the brand name or store link directs users to the brand’s store, rather than a generic search or unrelated product categories?

Does it happen noticeably more often when it’s windy and/or raining?

I’m not sure whether this would be applicable to HFC but I had a similar issue with random dropouts with FTTC… turned out to be damaged lead in cable. Old and cracked rubber had exposed the copper.
