  1. I always thought of Eero as those little white boxes, I hadn't heard of these new products until my dealer mentioned them
  2. Yeah my dealer just seems very hesitant for some reason, though I'm sure they could figure out how to do the things you mentioned above in case I can't One related question - regardless of what new hardware I get, if I create my wifi network with the exact same SSID as my current network, will that allow all devices in my house to automatically connect to the new network without any configuration?
  3. My dealer is still very hesitant about Ubiquiti and again are recommending Eero, saying that I would still use my same Araknis switches with a new Eero Gateway and Eero POE Access Points My question - would a lay person like me be able to switch out my Araknis components with Ubiquiti hardware on my own and then use the app / website to setup everything? I could of course use YouTube...looks like there's lots of tutorials on how to do the setup, etc. I'm just not sure if I'd screw something up along the way, esp any remaining C4 integration I have with my network as well as other Araknis router configurations that my dealer had setup with my different wired and wireless hardware, like setting up static addresses, etc.
  4. What is the Halo thing that several of you have referred to?
  5. Thanks again for all the responses We've had on again and off again wifi issues for awhile now so that is one reason - to hopefully blanket the house with better wifi coverage Another reason is a few ports on the switch (POE switch) have died - I guess got fried somehow but I'm not sure So, instead of getting another Araknis POE, I'm thinking this may be an opportunity to just change out the whole system to newer hardware from a different company I'm possibly combining this network upgrade with more A/V upgrades (new TV in our 'media' room, different audio solution, etc.) so would like to do it all in one fell swoop rather than doing the A/V upgrade and then later on the network, etc.
  6. Ah, that's interesting to know, I didn't realize Snap sells Eero - I thought they were Araknis and Pakedge only That's a very juicy tidbit of info....
  7. @TundraSonic I was looking for one to one replacements as I don't really know much about Ubiquiti in terms of their hardware, that is why I was asking that, "If I have this Araknis component, what Ubiquiti component would replace it."
  8. We have very little C4 hardware left in our setup (one HC800, an amp and some dimmers and 3 / 6 button keypads) Just curious why the hesitation about Eero? Is it that it doesn't play well with C4? Or some other reason? Thank you
  9. Thank you everyone for the responses Still thinking this through My dealer is not as familiar with Ubiquiti and is suggesting I consider Eero if I want to replace my network hardware - I don't know much about Eero so will look into that as well @TundraSonic I'm actually using SecuritySpy with an always on Mac mini with Amcrest cameras - it's rare to run into someone else who knows about SS! I love SS but was just thinking if I do make the switch to Ubiquiti it would be nice to have everything (ie, including the cameras) on a single platform I have one Unifi camera (G3 Flex) that I have on SS as well
  10. My local Microcenter seems to have adequate stock of Ubiquiti items to make replacing my Araknis hardware a local affair (ie, no need to order online, etc.) https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=0&NTX=mode+MatchPartial&NTT=ubiquiti&NTK=all&sortby=match&rpp=96 I'm looking to do a one to one switch out of each component so looking for guidance on what Ubiquiti component to pick for each one of the following Araknis network components Thank you in advance AN-210-SW-F-16-POE AN-310-SW-R-24 AN-310-RT-4L2W AN-500-AP-I-AC x 4 WATTBOX WB-700-IPV-12 (not Araknis of course, but wondering if OvrC feature will still work without Araknis components, also I'm not sure if there's an analogous component made by Ubiquiti) Cameras x 5 (currently using Amcrest, but thinking of swapping them all out for Ubiquiti and considering the G4 bullet at $200 each) - so what Ubiquiti component would I need to serve as the NVR / DVR if that functionality is not built in to one of your suggestions to replace the above already?
  11. Having wifi slowness and dropouts on M1 MacBook Pro and M2 MacBook Air but not M1 MacBook Airs or any other devices Been trying to figure out what's going on and came across some information about changing the default MTU of 1500 to 1453 (I don't understand the reasoning why) I'm at the point that I'll try anything so looking for some guidance on whether I should change it on my Araknis 310 series (and how) or to just change it on the affected Macs so as to not mess up other devices that are working fine Also came across something about making sure the router firmware is up to date (it is...my dealer updated it last week) and to see if there's a 'WPA3 / WPA2 transitional' setting in the router to change to Thanks in advance
  12. Ongoing outage - I think that double NAT was a red herring as I’m not getting that message during this outage Ran a traceroute 8.8.8.8 from Terminal and, though very slow to run, it’s giving me a private IP address as the first hop and then public as the second hop, so I think that confirms it’s not a double NAT problem
  13. Thank you for those additional tips I believe at least some of that was in my troubleshooting steps initially, but since it was several months ago, I don't remember exactly I'll have to revisit
