@Tech9, that's the answer I was kind of expecting! So, any thoughts about ejecting the node, just to be nice to it? Thanks RangerZ

I am setting up a 4 pack of ET9's for a friend. The plan is to move the IOT to one of the Guest networks, but we have a Eufy wireless camera and HomeBase 3 Storage (S380?). While the camera is wireless, the storage device is Ethernet. I am not seeing any obvious way to "assign" the Ethernet...

I am testing the use of USB drives on my ASUS CT8 for use as a network backup. Running FW 3.0.0.4.386_47399 (latest\last) It appears that while I can configure a USB device on the nodes, I am not finding any way to "Eject" the USB drive from the node. The USB on the primary device only...

FWIW, I just set up some ET9s (4) for a friend who has 2 MyQ door openers. I do not know which ones. They are probably about 20 and 25 feet from the preferred node. One seemed to connect, the other connects and then disconnects. I even put one ET9 in a room over the garage at probably 10...

Yes, trust is the issue. That said there are really no devices in the specific form factor. I am willing to do some work to replace the OS, I have done this multiple times on other hardware, mostly routers. Just doing some homework to see if anyone else has already been down this road...

I have been looking or a small 2.5" single bay NAS and just discovered the Orico CD2510. It appears to be one of a number of private labeled devices running the WeLine OS. Devices WeLine Intro The devices require registration and uses an "app" on all supported devices. There is not web...

I have a set of CT-8 that I put into service this past week replace another failed device. Using a single device as a router. I am noticing frequent disconnects, and based upon the log files, it appears the device is spontaneously rebooting once or twice a day. I am thinking of making a...

I am trying to help a friend (remotely ATM) with issues they are having with their Linksys Velop WHW0303 Mesh. They have tried to connect both a wireless camera and a CPAP machine to the network, but the units are not connecting. Details are vague TBH. After reading the manual, which is...

@Tech9 Looks like a winner, thanks as usual! @Tech Junky , thanks for the graphical help. This is real good. I did not understand this relationship.

@Tech Junky, No I do mean the outside connectors. OK, this is real embarrassing. Apparently the antenna that broke off left it's brass threaded insert behind. Until you asked for pictures I did not remove the other antennas, but did try to affix an antenna from another device, which did not...

Unfortunately the site does not like the term RP-SMA and Google has not been helpful either so far. I have a few devices that I need to replace antennas on. ASUS RT-AC68U TP-Link Archer C7 Dell Micro 3060 All the devices use an antenna with a female connection, which I believe is RP-SMA. My...

@ColinTaylor Excellent summary! Thank you! I expect to only have 1 remote client so this should not be an issue

@ColinTaylor I missed that this was a Merlin only scenario, thanks First para - Acknowledging your comments re stock vs Merlin FW and noting what I believe are the relevant differences Second para - Acknowledging your comment about testing vs permanent, balance really not relevant but context...

@colin, thank you. Hopefully not TLDR Regarding TAP, what are the other problems you are referring to? I had a trio of RT-AC1900P\AC68us running Merlin. IIRC, there are differences in both the OpenVPN (multiple server option) and in the USB connectivity (SMB version options). As for Test...

I installed the Amazon Ethernet dongle on one of the Firesticks. No complaints after a couple of weeks. I plan to do the others in the near future. Apparently if you buy one with USB ports on the device you can add storage and perform other interesting hacks. Lots on you tube.
