This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

This solved 3 problems for us. by ribs

1. Wi-fi dead spots around the house- Mesh network with 3 nodes
2. Screen time monitoring, parental controls and content management for each device. Mobile app is very intuitive, and equally insightful. Astonished how much time my wife wastes on Facebook, for example. Whenever a new device hits wi-fi, I receive an alert on my iphone. I can then assign the device to a user and set up appropriate credentials. For example, my 14 year old has a profile with limited content access, and set screen time for each device. This has become a practical incentive tool for a kid during quarantine.
3. 3 Years of "free" firewall/anti-virus included with TPLink Homecare. The app includes a live weekly report listing any/all suspicious interactions, on which device, when, etc. This data is also interesting. Facebook is a scourge.
