Ugh. 13 cameras, 2 smoke detectors, nest thermostat, 2 desktops, several laptops, 5 Roku, google home, 3 iPhones, 2 iPads...
An all evening job.
Seems faster. Might have to get one or 2 pods. The router and extenders aren’t needed with it. We have one camera that appears not to reach the gateway.

The newest gateway allows for Gig speed and it's got much better wi-fi capabilities. I don't have near what you do on it, but it's definitely much better. My only complaint is that it only had 2 ethernet (wired) ports, where the old one had 3 or 4.

We got the one down one level. It has 4 ports. When I take the old one back and get the pods I am going to ask about the advanced Xfi. It is a gigabit one but throughput is 700.
Just aimed the cameras back where they should be. We only have one not working.
We have 2 computers and one tv hardwired yet. We prefer the hard wired because hubby uses his for work. I could get away with wireless.

They are upgrading equipment. Problem is I just took the old gateway back and wanted 3 pods. The guy said the pods don’t work with the gateway they sent. Was easy to exchange. Used same network name and Paw. They sent the one in the second photo. Now we have the one in the top photo. It has less ports but we will make do. www.xfinity.com/support/articles/broadband-gateways-userguidesOh and I got two smart bulbs with Kohl’s cash so I have to reset that up too. We only plan on using them when he gets home later than expected I. The winter time. There have been a few times I left for work and didn’t leave lights on and he got home much later than expected and the dogs were in the dark. |
