▲ 6 r/Tovala

My second oven in 6 months bit the dust.

My second oven in 6 months bit the dust.

First it started counting down in a delayed fashion, ie every 1 second countdown took 10+ seconds.

The next time I used it, it started beeping like a possessed R2D2, turned off, and never turned back on. Unlike the first oven that died on me, this one does show a green light in the upper dial, but nothing else.

I talked to Tovala and they were once again fantastic, sending me - once again - a brand new oven. (this will be my 3rd).

During my previous warranty claim, I was asked to cut the cord and dispose of it properly. This time I offered to send it back for research purposes and they have taken me up on the offer. They will send me a return label along with the new oven and have asked me to box up the old one - using the new one's packaging - and fedex it back.

I am really hoping Tovala will get to the bottom of these ovens premature deaths and find a solution. As a user of the system, nothing is more annoying than having the oven go out and be without. On the flipside, this can't be very profitable or fun for Tovala either, though, once again, their customer service has been top notch throughout this all.

Anyway, let's hope they get this under control!

I was just running a few speed test from my iPhone connected to my TMHI (G5AR) and noticed terrible speeds. About 220 down and 7 up. ( I ran multiple tests to different speed test providers and all were terrible).

So I figured to try a reboot with HINT Control, but kept getting the message it couldn’t connect to my gateway, even though I was connected.

That let me down a few rabbit holes, when I remembered having this issue before and all those times, performance was terrible.

Going into my phones WiFi settings I saw my gateway being blank and no IPv4 IP addresses. That made me want to try using IPv4 only, but how? No way to disable IPv6 on IOS.

I then found an online discussion that said going into your WiFi network settings on the iPhone, then go to DNS, set it to manual and remove the IPv6 addresses.

This worked … I got an IPv4 IP address.

I reran my speed tests and now getting 600+ down and 40+ up.

TL;DR, it seems that with a IPv6 only connection my network speeds for both up and down are so much slower than when using IPv4. And yes, I can’t say I fully understand IPv6.
