mesh systems
David Mehler
Hello,
I'm going to be getting a mesh system for my home and want to hear from those who have them. I'm thinking either the TP-Link Deco M9 or the Netgear Orbi Tri-Band, but I'm wanting to hear others recommendations and experiences. I'm am also interested in any of these systems phone apps and how accessible they are if I would need to do setup on them either locally or when I'm out needing to change something. For reference to this question i'm using a windows10 laptop, a win10 surface pro tablet, and an android I think it's 8 phone and an android 9 tablet, so that's what any apps would have to run on. If any of these (or other) mesh systems have native support for an OpenVPN server so that I can vpn in from remote locations that is a major plus. Thanks. Dave.

1. I accidentally set MS Outlook to work offline, and I can't find

When I do that, System access kicks in and comes on; same thing happens using S A or N V D A, even with S A home server turned off. Advice, please!

T-Mobile is not CDMA it is for GSM most companies are. The only companies that or CDMA networks are Verizon and Sprint. And of course they're knock off carriers such as virgin mobile straight talk and whatever else Verizon carries. Oh and boost mobile.

Re: phone to use with cdma
Gene
As of 2014, according to this article , this was
the situation. I doubt it has changed but I don't know.
For instance, in the United States, two of the four
major carriers (Verizon and Sprint) use CDMA while the other two (AT&T and
T-Mobile) use GSM.

Hi Richard,
Yes, I have in the past moved the default Dropbox
folder from its default location to a data drive using the, move Dropbox option,
in Preferences. But, to me it sounded like I was moving the whole folder
with all sub-folders to the data drive. In essence I thought I was
changing the file path for all folders and sub-folders to the data drive, not
just the storage folders. We all could be talking about the same thing and
I'm just reading / understanding differently. Thanks much.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Re: Drop box.

I believe it is on th solid state drive; I think so; that drive has 500 gigs and I only have 4 gigs of drop box space, thereabouts.

I need all the help I can get as to setting things up again so I can try to work with them seamlessly, as I did when I had just one internal 1tb drive. Sometimes the simplest things best this old lady schoolmarm from Eastern nebraska. Hey, but I grew up in Chicago, so I am not totally an old farm girl. Thank you all so much. I did remove a box or two from the drop box. and they disappeared from the listing on both drives. They were people I wanted to delete. One, alas, had died. In any event, what brought this up is that the other day, a friend sent me a letter in drop box. it was in the drop box on the SSD but it did not show up in the one on the 4TB drive. Remember, I do push buttons, yes; but i'm something of a menace on a keyboard. Penny pengold@gmail.com

Re: Drop box.

Hi Mike, here are some instructions for what you want to accomplish. I took this directly from Google. In step 2, it says click the gear icon. What you need to do is press tab until you hear something that says manage your settings. The rest of the steps are straightforward.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
1. Click the Dropbox icon from your system tray. 2. Click the gear icon. 3. Click Preference. 4. Click Sync. 5. Click Move. 6. Select the new location for your Dropbox folder. 7. DONE. 8. Let Dropbox move your folder and its contents to the new location.

I can't be sure if you can get a GSMA
version. Here is an excerpt from a page showing
specifications:
CDMA 800 / 850 / 1900 GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 I don't know enough technically
about phone networks to know. Even though it gives those numbers and shows
GSMA before them, in looking at the excerpts of many pages in a Google search, I
don't see GSMA carriers listed in those stated it can be used with.

You might look at the Tribit line of speakers. They have nice sound and are pretty easy to set up and use. I don't think they come with a power wart though. Here's a link to the Amazon page that has them. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=tribet+speaker&i=electronics&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
