Hi,

I’ve recently added a TP-Link RE550X range extender to my home network. The main WiFi router is a Netgear XAVN2001 (a Powerline extender, starting from the FritzBox AJ router).

To this router there is another TP-Link range extender connected (a TL-WA850RE), that has been working flawlessly since years.

The RE550X has been working perfectly fine for a couple days. Then, today it started losing connection to the main router.

- I setup it in Theter on the iPhone, and it works fine for a few seconds, then it loses connection to the web, saying there is no internet. It still appear connected to the main router. The main router connects fine to the internet.

- I repeated the hard setup: put the main router in WPS listening mode, and press the WPS button on the RE550X for one second. They seem to sync perfectly. However, the problems returns: connect the extender to the main router, and it loses connection in a few seconds.

- I tried the hard reset of the extender, and repeated all the naming, setup, connection procedure. The same: working fine for a few seconds, then connection to the main router drops.

- I did the tests both far from the main router, both next to it. Same result.

- I repeated all the above with a FritzBox supplied by my ISP provider as the main router. Same result.

[EDIT: In the FritzBox, I forced the RE550X to a fixed IPv4. This apparently solved the issue – unless it was something that I changed in the same time. I don't think this can be done with Netgear XAVN2001, not being a router.]

[EDIT2: Nope, it doesn't work. Tether says that I'm online and everything is working fine, but it isn't. There is no access to the web, nor to any other device through the RE550X. Access to them via the FritzBox router or the XAVN2001 repeater is fine.]

[EDIT3: It works! I don't know what I've done. After some more tries, after having restored the dynamic IPv4, after some other reboots, connections to the various devices, everything started to work again.]

I’ve no idea of what to do now. Should I return the extender? Should I ask a replacement, or it is this model in any case not working?

Hi,

I have a choice of two place where to position a surveillance video camera out of my home.

a) About 3m (~10') high, very visible from the street.

b) About 2m (~6.5') high, not visible until you go next to it.

Solution (a) should work as a deterrent, but I fear it can in any case be easily disabled with a short pole, or the jet of a spray paint. Semi-professional intruders can be fast in covering their faces, enter my property and put out of use the camera.

Solution (b) wouldn't work as a deterrent, even if I can replace this effect with a warning at the entrance. Once the camera is located, it can be easily disabled with a hand. At the same time, I guess its semi-hidden position can make it more difficult to find it, and in the meantime I've had the time to see what's happening, and react.

The other solution is to have both cameras, so the intruders will have to work more.

What would you do?

Hi,

Despite having read a lot about the system, I still wonder if it is ok for my scope. What I want to do is this:

- Install some blink Outdoor 4 cameras on the perimeter of my house.

- Avoid getting a subscription.

- Making the sensor detect people walking next to the doors and windows, but not the cats, the birds and the trees.

- Get a notification on my iPhone when motion detection happens.

- Be able to see the scene, and talk with whomever is there.

- When motion is detected, let the cameras record a video to the sync module, either on an USB stick or an SD card.

Is this possible as it is? Will I get too many false alarms? There seem to be no consensus here.

Thank you!

Hi,

Since this community is very active and tends to hide discussions solely focused on Layout (ya illustrators are an overwhelming majority!), I’ve decided to create a new community dedicated to page design using Affinity. You can join it at r/AffinityLayout.

Ciao,

Sto tornando dopo vent'anni alla tenda, e devo ricominciare un po' tutto. La mia vecchia attrezzatura è stata prestata, e quindi non c'è più, quindi devo ricomprare tutto.

Andrò in montagna (Appennini) in estate, e alternerò stanzialità e libera (nei limiti di legge). Vado da solo, quindi non mi serve molto spazio. Però non voglio nemmeno rischiare di averne troppo poco.

Al Decathlon mi hanno convinto le MH100 Fresh&Black XL. Leggere, versatili, essenziali ma con quel che serve. Probabilmente più pratiche della mia vecchia canadese, e con la loro forma 'iglooeggiante' probabilmente più comode.

La differenza di peso tra la versione a 2 e 3 posti è modesta. Lo spazio in più occupato in larghezza è poco più di mezzo metro. Il montaggio non sembra più difficile. Quindi potrei optare per quella più grande. Ma mi serve? Ci sono controindicazioni ad usare una tenda più grande?

Hi,

I know there is a dedicated subgroup for Affinity 3, but I miss a place where one can focus on page layout only. We publishers are a tiny minority, so our issues get easily lost among the questions from illustrators.

This would be the right group to continue focusing on that side of the program. Maybe updating the group name could help it continuing to be the right place for this matter?

Hi,

When selecting a region, Logic shows the Piano Roll editor at the bottom of the main window.

Is there a way to make the Score editor be shown by default, instead of having to click each time on its tab to switch from the Piano Roll?

Thank you!

EDIT: Found! It's in the Settings > General > Editing tab.

Hi,

I've never noticed this, and maybe it is the first time it happens. InDesign is open in two different spaces on my Mac.

In one there is the program, a book, an open document.

In the other, only the program and the book.

If I close one, the other closes as well.

Today I had an issue with InDesign refusing to open. Maybe there has been a silent update causing some odd behavior?
