    Bandwidth Cap Monitoring Tool?

    We put the kids on time limits using our circle home plus and we are using about 75% less bandwidth. of course that has just led them to switch off WiFi and watch everything on their phones but whatevs. problem solved.

    Yikes man. Judge much? this was never a question of should, it was how. the how has been answered. The should question should go in another thread that I will not participate in.

    Bandwidth Cap Monitoring Tool?

    In case someone comes back to this thread in the future I’ve been using a 2 pronged solution. 1) the xfinity app will report on a 24 hour lag usage which we have been watching religiously. Miraculously, since we have told our kids they can’t stream video for 12 hours a day our bandwidth usage...

    Bandwidth Cap Monitoring Tool?

    I have moved houses and now have a bandwidth cap. It's easy to solve - I can pay +$30 a month and the cap goes away. But I'm loathe to give Comcast another dollar if I don't have to. I looked at Glasswire but that appears to be the local computer only. I need a solution that monitors the...

    Looking to add wireless access point

    ok one thing I cannot figure out - even with the new eap's my upstairs gets really lousy signal. so the eap is on the ceiling of the closet of bedroom 2.

    Looking to add wireless access point

    I bought 2 EA225’s for the main floor and upstairs - so far so good - might pick up a third for the basement. The reporting / statistics / control is light years ahead of anything I’ve used for any other router or WAP. Just using my always on PC as the controller. No issues so far. Those...

    I have a computer (Dell T20) in my office that is always on - I'm still trying to understand the value of having an independent controller for my use case.

    Looking to add wireless access point

    The 7610 does not include Poe injector. Ugh. That sort of kills the value. Haven’t made a decision yet.

    Looking to add wireless access point

    ooooook... so we're back. The AT&T mesh extenders are... how shall we say... not cutting it. So I think I'm back to the TP-LINK wireless access points - one on each floor. someone was saying that I needed another piece of tech to make them all work together - can someone help me with a link to...

    Weird issue with Disney Plus

    Got Disney plus to work on shield on WiFi. Now the device will not reconnect to Ethernet. This is bizarre Edit : some dumb dumb forgot to reconnect the ethernet cable yesterday. Plugged it back in and now everything works. Shrug. We’re going to say this was Disney’s fault all along and move...
