After a previous post, I have decided to replace my Orbi system with a new router and at least two access points wired with Cat6. My current system no longer offers updates because of its age and I’m getting a bunch of lagging and dead spots.

What are your suggestions? I have Xfinity internet service, three smart tvs, three phones, three tablets, and whatever the future holds. I know some people love Ubiquiti, others consider it hot garbage. My budget is $500+

Either way, I don’t want to have to get an IT degree to watch Netflix while I scroll through Reddit, so simple is better. Like I said, I want to hard wire the access points.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in battery usage over the last few months? I’m not talking about battery health, I mean the battery drainage during normal use.

I just got a 17 because my 15 was dying, now this phone is using percentage just as fast. I chose all of the battery saving settings possible, no Apple ai, background app refresh, etc. but it doesn’t seem to be making much of a difference. I close out every app that’s not being used and it used a few % while not in use.

Anyone have any similar experiences? Any suggestions? My next step is to work backwards deleting apps from the newest to the oldest.

UPS gave me a 12 HOUR delivery window and they are blaming Verizon for all of the delivery restrictions. I missed the first delivery, and it’s going to be difficult to stay home for the second attempt.

Does anyone have any solutions? I called UPS and someone in an overseas call center answered. They didn’t give me any answers, they only repeated the information shown on the app.

I love tools, and I’m trying to help my kid as he establishes himself. What are some tools that will help him out in a bind? Not really the day to day stuff, more like the tools that save the day.
