    Dishwasher suggestion

    So the Midea dishwasher got installed yesterday, however the bundled inlet hose was not compatible with the bib tap that was available. It required that screw on type connector that usually comes with washing machines, I thought the Dishwasher would come with something like that. The technician...

    My UPS needs a 12v 9aH battery, can i use 12v 7aH instead ?

    You could get the 9AH battery from Moglix - https://www.moglix.com/exide-powersafe-plus-9ah-12v-sealed-lead-acid-battery-ep-1234w/mp/msnnkqg63xnz9x I have personally ordered it from there, and actually replaced the bundled 7 AH battery of my APC Back-UPS BX600 with a 9 AH battery. It's of the...

    Linksys LN1301 - Group Buy from US

    I feel in an apartment complex, the interference due to so many WiFi networks is high causing the coverage to be less than expected. Prior to these units, I was seeing interference related issues in couple of locations, I tried changing to all viable channels but didn’t help. I live in a...

    Yes, it will be available for regular traffic. I have it running with stock firmware and added the child node to mesh using the Add Wired Node button.

    Get the EMI processed by the merchant offline, choose the maximum possible no cost or low cost EMI tenure. Initially the entire amount would show up in the transaction history, in 1-3 days, it would get converted to EMI. Once converted (you'd get an SMS or if you login to Netbanking, it should...

    The discount is not given just by the banks, it is mostly borne by the merchant or the manufacturer. Anyway I have done such EMI cancellations at least 15-20 times in the last 1-2 years, never have I faced any issues. Sure, go for it. For HDFC, you'd have to bear the GST on Rs 199 (EMI...

    @ibose I don't believe this has any impact on the customer's credit rating or services going forward. We are simply placing a request as per the mutually agreed terms and conditions with the card issuer. Just sharing an excerpt from the EMI conversion email ICICI sends After all, it's the...

    @skoka123 You mean with the AmazonPay ICICI card? No you wouldn’t get the 5% rewards/cashback as points for EMI transactions. Better to get a basic ICICI card for availing offers.

    Sure, will do. Yeah its a good trick, especially when coupled with ICICI/Axis I think, where all fees are reversed. Even with HDFC, only a small amount is not reversed. SBI is the worse of the lot with a 3% + GST foreclosure fee. Thanks, yeah I did order the same Fortune detergent, salt and...

    Flipkart delivered the product earlier today as scheduled. Few hours after delivery, got the message from Midea with a reference number, I am hoping its the installation request. Hopefully this should get installed by tomorrow. Compared to Amazon, the installation request seems automated in a...

    Airtel Static IP config in personal router

    Right, that is my experience as well. But the OP did confirm that static IP address is working and the publicly visible IP address is the same statically assigned address.

    ^ I think that is with the PPPoE profile. @napstersquest

    Airtel Static IP config in personal router

    @anmolbhard004 I would suggest going through the linked messages and posts that were shared earlier. The internal VLAN for static public IP address is indeed different from the regular CGNAT PPPoE VLAN. However, in usual cases as I said a bunch of times, all this happens transparently so you...

    Airtel Static IP config in personal router

    @CeyeN As I said, there is something like an external VLAN and internal VLAN. So in Airtel the VLAN you configure on your devices (Airtel device or other) would always be 100, but internally the VLAN is different like in your case 980. Now, the VLAN for static public IP address is different...

    Airtel Static IP config in personal router

    Yes, it worked with Digisol ONT as well. I think in your case the problem is the VLAN. Usually the customer side VLAN is 100 for Airtel (whether static IP address or dynamic), however the internal/ISP side VLAN is usually different for both. When you use a compatible ONT, this mapping ie VLAN...

    Airtel Static IP config in personal router

    Currently not, but I have got the Airtel unit in bridge mode in the past and was able to get it working. It was with a ZTE device from Airtel. Presently, I am using a Digisol ONT in bridge mode (replaced the Airtel unit). I don't use static IP address anymore, but did try it couple of months...

    Airtel Static IP config in personal router

    I had no issues either with both option 1 and 2 that you mentioned. I am using a Mikrotik device as the primary router.

    Smart Plug

    I've been getting the Tapo P110 smart plugs for all new requirements, even with the stock firmware, I liked the Tapo app better than Tuya/SmartLife. It seems more polished. Only gripe is the lack of a 6A/10A model so cannot use it with non-16A sockets unless I use an adapter, and I am not a...

    Pls suggest BLDC Fan?

    I’ve had good results with Atomberg Renesa. Been using few since 2020, working great no issues. It feels sturdy. Whereas their newer variants like Renesa Alpha I found bit flimsy and not as good as the original Renesa. During the same time I had got a Superfan BLDC. Till now the board had to...
