Moving to a place where Cox internet is the best option. Need recommendations to make the best out of this situation.

I had Cox for over a decade in Irvine. I never had a problem with spotty connection or outages. I had huge problems with pricing and customer service. Got tired of having to do the dog and pony show every 12 months to get put on the new promotion to prevent huge price increases. I moved on to Google

After a full hardware failure of our current router —and downgrading to our past one— my parents have accepted the need for an upgrade. What routers do you guys run? Any suggestions?

I would do a plug in play mesh system like an Eero or a netgear orbi.

Metrocom se papeó a Tigo y Más Móvil

El router que +móvil me dió francamente es paupérrimo. Una vaina de Sercomm que ni me daba la velocidad contratada. Qué diferencia al poner mi Netgear Orbi mesh. Y la vaina con +móvil fibra es que uno mismo tiene que averiguar cómo colocar la configuración en el router de uno, porque no es disque so

Plz recommend between Orbi 870, 970 or Eero Max 7

No, in fact wired back-haul from main to satellite is always recommended (faster connection, less latency, doesn't cause congestion or additional WiFi networks to be spawned etc), your mesh WiFi will still work if it's using WiFi back-haul, but you need to be careful with positioning of the satellit

Have you been having frequent Spectrum internet outages?

I would suggest either the Asus RT-BE96U if you can get by with a single device (if the modem will be located in the middle of your home and you are at about no larger than 2,000 square feet), or the Netgear Orbi 770 series if your space is larger and/or the modem is in the far corner of the home wh

Quantum Fiber Mesh

I think the Asus systems, zenwifi bt10 as well as the netgear orbi 770 (this one has a subscription). I have used asus routers in my house, so I used their software to create a mesh system as i upgraded, my main is be98pro, with nodes of be92u and a gtax11000. If you can wire your backhaul, then you

What profession could rewire house for ethernet?

I’d start with trying a decent mesh network system, you may find you don’t need hardwired connections. I like the netgear Orbis.

Homekit Device Mass Unrespoinsiveness

The consensus would be UniFi but it can get expensive real quick; if you are not into networking can be a bit of a learning curve to buy what you need as well. I have personally used Netgear Orbi and Linksys Velop with success in terms of HomeKit being rock solid. I started out with Linksys but with

I’ve been using Netgear Orbi mesh for years. Expensive but works fantastic. I have a base and two satellites. Reception in my 1963 home is horrid without mesh. While Ethernet backhaul would be ideal, Orbi has a dedicated WiFi backhaul and it is very fast.

From Max 360 to R8?

My car doesn't, I actually just updated to say that I park next to a router that's in my garage (personally use Netgear Orbi with 2 satellite routers) I'm able to run a 2.4ghz and 5 off my mesh network. Id imagine you will be able to connect as well just may have to tinker with some settings in your
