Hello, the modem bridges the gap between your service provider and your home network and converts the cabling from Coax to ethernet. The router manages your local network and let more than one device connect to the modem and thus the internet. However, many service providers now have combo units that have the modem and router in 1 box. If you have that you can put the eero in bridge mode so the service provider router is doing all the traffic management and the eero are just creating the mesh network in your home. However, if you do this you do miss out on some of the features of eero since eero is not the router. You can also set the service providers modem/router combo to bridge mode so your eero is the router. that is my preferred option so you get the full benefit of the eero system. However, you service provider will not support the eero so if you have an issue they will typically blame the eero (or any 3rd party router). Hope this helps...

With eero or any mesh system you do need 1 device connected to the network via ethernet (either as a router or connected to the router). Then the 2nd unit can be wireless. Also when trying to reach a dead spot put the Eero about halfway between the dead spot and the main Eero so the 2nd one is picking up a strong signal and repeating to the dead spot. Hope this helps.

@@ComputerAdv Thank you kindly. liked and subscribed.

Do you want the speakers to be permanent or temporary. If temporary the Move is good and you could actually get more then 2 and group them together I the Sonos app. For a permanent solution the Sonos amp can power 2 pairs of 8ohm speakers. I would recommend 4 outdoor surface mount speakers. the quality of sound will depend on the speakers you use. The Sonos outdoor speakers sound good but are not the best. This will be the more expensive option since you will need the Sonos Amp (or 2 amps for more power) 4 speakers plus the labor to run wires from inside the house to the terrace. Assuming you can run speaker wire and have the budget this is what I would do for a longterm solution.

Correct, currently you can only give Siri commands to an apple device (iPhone, HomePod mini, etc). I hope that could change in the future but that is up to Apple. You can use Alexa or Google Assistant directly with the mic in the Beam but not Siri.

Sorry I missed your comment. You can not add a second hub with caseta but a plug-in wall dimmer can be a range extender for the Lutron ClearConnect signal.

@@ComputerAdv Can a Lutron Caseta Wireless repeater (PD-REP-WH) do this?

@@richardpatton4197 Sorry for the confusion, yes you can use the repeater, while not exactly new, it is much newer than the Caséta system and I had not need one before and did not see they added that device. However, you can use a plug-in lamp dimmer (PD-3PCL-WH) to extend as well. This is what I use (as the range extender was not available when I setup my house) and it does the job. If you could use a dimmer in a room that makes sense for an extender I would go that route as it's cheaper and control a lamp. If not the Extender you mentioned will do the job.

Space Gray. All 3 models in the video are space gray.

@@ComputerAdv thank you for the reply and video!

@@gafferjoe You are welcome.

Yes that is correct.

Sorry I missed this reply, if you haven't already figured it out, Yes you can do that. Make sure to put the Amp in dual mono mode so you get full sound in each area. Then go to the Amp's settings and adjust L & R balance. It's a bit of a hassle to get to the settings to change the balance but it does work. -Spencer

So for the Apple TV you wouldn't be able to airplay Atmos, however that would be an unusual setup. For the Apple TV 4K you should connected it to the TV, then the Sonos Arc to the HDMI ARC port. If your TV is newer and supports eARC it should pass the Atmos sound from the Apple TV to the Sonos Arc, if not you would be limited to 5.1 sound. Our demo TV is a Samsung Q90T and I can confirm it does pass Atmos from the Apple TV 4K to the Sonos Arc.

I do not have a video with Sony, however, the error you are receiving is not due to your wireless connection, it is related to the physical connection between your Beam and TV. You will want to make sure the Beam is connected to the TV via HMDI (ARC, Audio Return Channel, port, typically only 1 HDMI port will support ARC). If you don't have ARC support on HDMI you will need to use the HDMI to optical adapter that was included. You will also need to make sure your SONY TV is set to use the optical port.

@@ComputerAdv thanks for the reply. I am using the ARC port on my Sony, but the app is still saying it cant find my tv. Is the optical port just as good as the ARC connection?

@@dono4598 Depends on the TV, I would test it with the optical to see if it works, if it doesn't I would point to a TV issues. If it does then you could chose to try to continue to troubleshoot the ARC port or continue to use the optical option. Some TVs do not pass 5.1 sound on the optical port and some do. If your TV does then I would just leave it. If not it might be worth trying to get ARC to work.

The specs on the TV would list it. According to this page www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-55nano81ana-4k-uhd-tv your TV has ARC on HDMI 2.

@@ComputerAdv That took 3 weeks to type up? Lol, I found it. I just don't understand nor see a difference in the 2. It's another gemmic to me...Thanks!

@@DefMusic79 Sorry, yeah, the KZbin channel is not the first priority. Sorry.

@@ComputerAdv huh?

You SHOULD only have 1 router. So the modem/router device needs to be in bridge mode or the eero needs to be in bridge mode. If possible put the cable company box in bridge mode to get the most out of eero. However, in my experience they don’t always like to be in bridge mode. So you have a couple options. 1) Purchase your own modem and return the modem/router from the cable company and save $ every moth. or 2) Have 2 routers (cable company modem/router and eero). This results in what is called a double NAT. This can cause issues but for most people it shouldn’t as long as you do not plug anything besides the eero into the cable modem/router and don’t use their wi-if network. Finally if you have FIOS, Verizon or Frontier TV service, forget everything above, you have to use there modem/router so unfortunately it is best to put the eero in bridge mode. Hope this helps.

@@ComputerAdv It helped. Thank you.👍

The beacons came out after this video was made. They are OK but I prefer the Eero Pro and Eero devices.

Hello it is from photographer Brett Donnelly, he also printed it. The photo is from the northern tip of Longboat Key FL, near our Sarasota store. Unfortunately his website is no longer active.

Kendrick, The USB-C port is for charging only. You could connect to your PC via Bluetooth...

Yes, well maybe... You can setup a profile and add all their devices to it then set a schedule for that profile. At my house all my kids' devices have the internet shut off at 9am and turns back on a 7:30am. However, if they have Phones will cell service this will not turn off the cellular data. Also in iOS 14 Apple introduced a new feature that enables a Private MAC address for devices (help with secuiryt on public networks, but makes it more difficult to manage at home). This can be turned off for just your home network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi. Then tap the "I" next to your home network and turn off "Private Address".
