So suddenly I see a quick nearly imperceivable flash of a super thin horizontal line appear and disappear. It only does it once and not again throughout the movie or shows. It's really quick and you may not even catch it. Once when watching a stream on Netflix. Just once. After I finished. I switched to HULU to watch a show and it did it again, barely catching it, just once. I rewind the scenes each time and it doesn't do it again. I then switched to another stream to watch from my Homesharing server and it did it again once and never again. It's super fast too, if you don't pay attention you can easily miss it. So is this a warning sign of imminent death? I have that cheap 85QD7N.

Here is the gist of it. Latest Mac OS 27 and Handbrake. Converting a file with Preset ATV 4K, but using H265 10bit. As it's processing CPU is close to 700%. I have 3 ATV4K 3rd gen and 2 ATV HD. HomeSharing will not connect to the computer. If I try a few times and let it spin it will connect, but not all thumbnails are not showing. The ones that do show, I can click and it will either say not found in library or just spins forever. I also tried a search in ATV and no results. Tried this on all ATV I have and same issues. So I stop HB and rebooted the iMac M3, Velop Routers and all ATV. Rebooted them all. Started HomeSharing and it works fast and as expected. Back to the iMac and started up HB and processing a video same set up. Went back to the ATV and boom Homesharing is either stuck, can't connect or no library or content found on all of them. When back to the iMac, turned off HB and all ATV works. Went back to the iMac turned on HB again and this time used VideoToolbox... went back to the ATV and Homesharing works like a charm again. So something changed with Mac OS 27 that when HB the preset for ATV utilizing CPU at almost 700% Mac OS 27 just can't allocate resources for HomeSharing to work reliably even Photo won't load on the ATV with HB running.... Anyway incase someone is experiencing something similar to this.

Update: I uploaded Activity Monitor showing CPU% on an iMac M3 8 Core, 24gb system.

Do you guys know if ATV4K can play back AAC 7.1 Audio from Handbrake encode? I can see an option to select TruHD 7 .1 and then AAC 7.1 on Handbrake for ATV playback. Anyone try this yet?

I have not seen any new announcements since Velop 7 or any updates. The product is no longer available on Amazon, BB and just used ones online. What is the official statement here? Has Linksys exited the market?

I've gone over the 1.2 TB a few times already and guess what happened? Nothing. Download, upload same as always during day and night. Highest speed during day when less people are home and just a tad slower at peak evening hours as always. So anyone worried about going 1.2...don't. Nothing happens.

First time this happened for me. G4AR had a message of a connection issue and wants me to unplug and reboot it. Ok did that and all is well. Was checking the setting and "Advanced Cyber Security" is enabled. I never turned that on. Honestly I can't even remember seeing it on there in the first place. Did they do something to enable it and thus locked up the G4AR?

Do you guys leave it on? I don't think I want it proactively deciding for me to block websites or whatever.

It seems that Velop 7 Pro is nowhere to be found. With no future replacement down the pipeline. Since a private equity firm owns the company now. I wonder if it's the end of Linksys Velop products? Anyone have thoughts or inside information in the future for Linksys Velop products?

So I ran Velp system LOG just to check things around and status. The weird thing is, one Node which is working fine shows on the system log as "WiFi Down" yet it's working fine and normal status lights. The Linksys App shows it's connected to the Parent Node with full bars and RSSI of -46. So I then Log on the Linksys Web Management interface and it's missing on the Device List yet shows on the Linksys App. It's also working fine. Weird.

First time I actually looked up this information. I didn't even know that Linksys has a chart that shows what's the best RSSI signal level for Nodes connecting to the parent via Wireless Backhaul. I find this helpful as one of my Nodes is getting 56 RSSI. I think I'll move it to get under 50 RSSI.

Done! Just placed it higher On the bookshelf. It’s now about 5’ high. Now hitting below 50 RSSI.

Anyone know if there is anew version coming out? I don't see that model available on Amazon anymore.

So you have perhaps 5 or more series or shows that you watch "from Apple only". There is still no way to have them all in one List or section to quickly jump to. Watchlist or Favorites from Apple ONLY. You have to do a search. Why they refuse to do this is beyond ridiculous.
