From: james I personal genius -4 To: Richard Kahn ctl Cc: Lesley Groff Subject: Fwd: Wifi Help in CT!@ Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2018 14:11:38 +0000 Hi Rich, Below is the hardware I need to install WiFi for Lesley's home in CT—one combo pack, two extra base routers and two remote nodes. I've broken the orders out like this because I'm hoping to not need the other two "MeshPoint" nodes, so we'll be able to return them. ONE of AmpliFi HD WiFi System by Ubiquiti Labs: Mesh WiFi System (Router + 2 Meshpoints) https://www.amazon.com/AmpliFi-Ubiquiti-Seamless-Touchscreen-Expandable/dp/B0IL9O08PW/ $339 TWO of AmpliFi HD WiFi System by Ubiquiti Labs: Router https://www.amazon.com/AmpliFi-Ubiq uiti-Seam less-Touchscreen-Expandab I e/dp/B0IL9O07FS/ $139 each TWO of AmpliFi HD WiFi System by Ubiquiti Labs: MeshPoint https://www.amazon.com/AmpliFi-Ubiquiti-Seamless-Touchscreen-Expandable/dp/B0IL9O07J4/ $108 each All items are currently listed as "in stock" from Amplifi's Amazon store and fulfilled by Prime. I would be grateful if you could order these to deliver as soon as reasonable to Lesley's home at: I'm hoping they'll deliver this Wednesday, so I can install on Thursday.

Alternatively, instead of printing to paper, use the PDF button in the bottom left of the print window and save it as a pdf to email me. Save the scanning step. But no rush. I'm still dissecting the floor plans, figuring out what the best WiFi system & plan will be.

I. Depends on when we can get the as-of-yet-undecided-on hardware (we'll have to order from amazon). Need to know: where.game morn is in relation to your office & a copy of your Corncast bill. 2. Would she be able to pick me up from the train, or would I just uber it?

Thank you so much for this response. For sure I want you to come out. Jeffrey has suggested it in fact. Let me discuss this with • and get back to you. Let me ask, we are away next week in CO. Could you come to our house without us there? I can have the gal who helps me with eMM there. You may have met her. Or better to wait for us when we get back?

It's unclear from these emails how Chris has the network setup now—I could take some guesses, but it would be probably be best to have me come out and replace the wireless routers. Once it's setup and solid foundationally, Chris (or anyone) can service & maintain as needed. We had the Google WiFi devices on Jeffrey's third floor for a while—I wasn't impressed. Hardware wise, they are slightly less powerful signal than the AirPort Extreme. They're not a true mesh device, in that you still can't have them in daisy chain / railroad wifi configuration. In other words, if WAPI is plugged into the modem, WAP2 can be wireless at the edge of WAPI's signal, but WAP3 can't be wireless off WAP2's signal, it HAS to talk to WAPI. So you're stuck in a wheel / spoke configuration, where all the devices have to speak to the WAP connected to the modem. That would be fine if the modem happened to be in the center of your EFTA00478747 home, but it's not (it never is). Software wise, it's even worse. Google manages the configuration of the routers and the traffic on their servers remotely. Besides the privacy nightmare scenario there—they literally can use every site you visit to build profiles of you—if their servers go down, so does your intemet. This happened once when we had them on the third floor, and I had to go in and set them up again from scratch before he had intemet on that floor. I'm thinking Netgear Orbi or similar would be the best solution for you. They're a true mesh system and have almost double the signal power of the AirPort Extreme. The question is which ones and how many do I have you get? Do you have a floor plan of the house? Moonshot question, I know, but it would help me visualize the layout if you did. I vaguely remember, but it's been a while. As I recall, your office and desk are at one end of the house on the ground floor, with the modem in the basement on the same end. Where is game room in relation to this? Is it on the same or opposite end of the house? Where is WiFi the worst that you care about? Also, do you have a PDF copy of your Comcast bill? I'm wondering if it wouldn't make sense to have you purchase your own modem. They're stupid cheap, give us control of the configuration and prevent Comcast from mucking things up accidentally.

U was curious about Google wifi ..thoughts? Hope you are well! Lesley https://store.google.com/us/product/google wifi support?hl=en-US Hi Lesley, I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. I can run a test to determine if you have been hacked but I doubt it. I think all of your issues have to do with old hardware. I can certainly come by to fix just one network instead of three but I do recommend you retire the optimum WiFi Router and the old Airport Repeaters and get a few new Wirleless Routers. Do you want to do that? Thanks, Chris EFTA00478748 On Thu, Jul 19, 2018 at 9:42 PM, lesley taylor < > wrote: Hi Chris. Hope you are well and sorry to bother you but we have a question. When you were here recently and fixed our Wi-Fi issues you installed 2 new Wi-Fi networks: and . We have had more issues since you were here and called Optimum to hel trouble shoot. We now see we have 3 networks: and .?? Why do you think we have these new networks? Did Optimum set them up over the phone line when we were discussing our issues? We can no longer use our password for the ? Very confused. Please let me know if you can give us clarity. Thanks. Lesley Groff Sent from my iPhone EFTA00478749
