-Jerry & Joe go into detail about the job in an aging house with some wireless challenges.
-Using UniFi on this job, Joe talks about adjusting wireless uplink settings in the UniFi Dream Machine controller.
-Sam finally gets to join in and he gets into working with Eero on a job. He begins by dealing with an oddity where an entire network comes to a halt when a particular computer gets turned off.
-He learns some things with Eero like the lack of functionality when using the web interface vs the app.
-Since we are all doing more remotely, Joe takes us through a remote Eero setup.
-Joe found that setting up this network was actually faster offsite. Which is good on the one hand for efficiency but also a negative for business reasons as it means less billable time. Sam finds similar results.
-Sam brings back an old favorite “pop quiz”, networking edition.
-Jerry has a PSA regarding a Synology with Seagate drives. Be careful where you buy from.
