All good, although I read that we broke the Henri record and had over 3" of rain in one hour last night. It was, as they say, torrential.

Re: I hate phone-in prescriptions - 5 weeks ago

It is NOT a requirement in NYS. I request paper scripts and can get them. Each place is different. When this first started, one large clinic told me that. Now I get paper from them when needed (ie, to buy from Canada when NOT affordable here.) My osteopath is a small office and not set up for electronic submissions. He gives me paper. NYU/Langone took away ALL paper from their drs. and w

Re: Recommendation for face mask extenders? - 5 weeks ago

Another way to make a custom extender is to sew a button at the ends of a piece of elastic. You can pick the width of the elastic and button placement.

Re: I may have a root canal in my future - 2 months ago

Had a number of root canals. They all last. Have one implant because a root canal tooth had completely cracked after many years. The crown came out with the post. My dentist said he remembered it had a slight crack when he did the work on it about 15 years earlier. It was now not able to handle any fixes. I kept it in and let the supervised resident at the dental school pull it at the time

Any IPTV and DVR users . . .? - 4 months ago

I am working towards setting up IPTV and DVR via my AppleTV. Currently researching IPTV providers. I know that I'll need a "tuner" app for the service, such as SmartIPTV. For DVR, I'm looking at NextPVR. For this, I need to get a drive for storage. I've been trying to figure out whether I can use a regular drive, or does it have to be NAS? While we are not big users at all, we do

Re: Router questions . . . - 4 months ago

Robert, We’ve tried to consider other places. That 10” height is the issue. My budget precludes me from going for gigabit, especially when it’s not needed. And I agree about not having to pay rent. It’s why I bought my own router and modem in dealing with Spectrum. To be honest, it is extremely rare to have equipment issues. Most times it has been service issues on their end. I

Re: Router questions . . . - 4 months ago

Robert, Thanks for the info. If you have a gigabit account, you do not pay the rental fee. I'll check out the other links you listed. But I already know that I can't fit the Verizon routers in the space I have for this. Thanks!

Re: Router questions . . . - 4 months ago

Yes. MOCA is only for TV. If you get an ethernet cable connection from the ONT box, you can set up any router with Fios. It just needs to be one that will handle the speeds that you have for your account. If you are doing MOCA, you would then need a coax cable from the ONT box. They have a 200mbps for $40, which I think is fine for my purposes. When I took a closer look, it says that in

Re: Router questions . . . - 4 months ago

Quotespace-time Since I am not doing TV, I don't need the "modem" part, anyway. If you do TV, do you need to use their router??? and do they charge a fee on top of the TV plan? my understanding is that if you provide your own MOCA, you do not need their hardwares, except the OTN (or OTA, I am not sure what it is called and too lazy to go to the basement to check) Yes, they have

QuoteRobert M mspace, Why not use the Verizon provided modem-router? I have no desire to pay Verizon rental fees. I got my own modem with Spectrum and have had very little issues. My current Asus covers my whole apartment quite well, and I assume the upgraded one will do the same. It is more than half the price of buying the Verizon router. Also the Verizon routers are way too big in s

Router questions . . . - 4 months ago

Switching from Spectrum to Fios- internet only. Will be doing IPTV, Netflix, HBOmax. Only 2 users in small apt. No gaming or intense streaming. Have a Asus RT- N66U which I want to upgrade. The space for the router is small. Was looking at the Gateway G1100. Pro - cheap, Fios approved. Con - Too tall, older, finding used. Also considering the Asus RT-AC68U. Pro - similar size to current.

Yet another VPN question . . . - 4 months ago

In my research of companies, etc., a friend pointed out to me that setting up the VPN on my router MAY interfere with the company computer used for work remotely on their servers. He has run into these issues intermittently. I have an Asus RT-N66U, which I can set up with VPN. Is there a way to isolate this one device on the network so it is not going through the VPN settings?
