Interested to take 1 unit if its around ~Rs 1500 + shipping, let me know if you are considering a price drop.

@smnrock I have two units in bridge mode and it works well, never had to do any tinkering specific to bridge mode. I did have static DHCP reservation in place from the very beginning. The only issue that I saw is, once it established a wireless backhaul link with the secondary instead of using...

Yeah on Jio, all such numbers are free. I am on Jio Postpaid, and never faced such issues.

@Rezep Correct. It would need to be activated with a plan for the timer to start though. But you don’t need to keep the plan active after the first month.

@kuduku I use the Tapo Smart Plug, I like it. The stock UI/App is good, and we can also connect it to HomeAssistant. Regarding the Tapo Switch, the only thing that came to my mind is compatibility with face plates and internal box sizes that is used in India. Personally, I prefer internal smart...

This is really cool, I wish they refreshed the hex s too. Looks like the new hex refresh is already available in India - https://fgtechstore.com/product/mikrotik-e50ug-the-classic-hex-refresh/ It's a bit different, yes, but once you get familiarised a bit, it is pretty straight forward. I...

I personally use a Mikrotik hap ac2 as router (has only 256 MB RAM, wireless disabled), its rock solid, haven't touched for ages (uptime itself is some 5-6 months), just works. Does failover pretty decently. Prior to that at another location was running an x86 unit with OpenWRT as the primary...

TP-Link ER605 is decent dual WAN router but wouldn't support Adguard Home etc.

Why not just use one of three as the primary router? The unit has enough horse power to handle routing and an AP.

The accuracy is pretty decent for these units in my experience so far, I have at least 15 of them installed in two locations. I remember seeing a post by @rsaeon on this forum, comparing the measurement with a Meco energy meter and the readings were more or less identical. I’m using the same...

@tartarus That particular switch uses a 5V DC input based on the specifications. So a 12V router UPS will not work. I think most basic switches would use 5V. However, you could also repurpose the C5 as a switch, with everything disabled.

Yes, wired backhaul will most definitely give you the full speed. Wireless backhaul will have to share the available bandwidth, I don't think there is a dedicated radio for backhaul on the X20. Secondly as you said, the master room has a known issue with wireless signals in general, could be...

@tartarus Getting rid of the C5 is a good choice, going through the thread, I didn't find a need for you to use the C5. Now coming to the other question, yes, you can use a basic 5 port switch. Act cable goes into one port, connect switch to other port, now you have 4 other ports (in case...

So I've been monitoring the energy consumption of the Midea unit, and in ECO mode (full load) it uses around 0.65 kWh of energy. The user manual puts the consumption at 0.92 kWh, so this is actually lower than what they are claiming. I have the dishwasher connected to a Tapo Smart Plug...

You mean 100 “Wh” total energy consumption for a cold cycle? Or peak power draw of 100 W? The second image shows the energy consumption, 0.807 kWh. This is from the Tapo app.

Even with maintenance, I don’t see how paying 3x makes sense. Would I get 3x the result/value? Others also come with 2 years of warranty so post warranty repairs would be out of pocket anyway. Coming to service network, the installation person came next day of delivery, better than LG person...

@speccy48 I recently bought the Midea unit for 15k. The Bosch was at least 45k or so. Given such a large price difference, does the Bosch still come out superior? The Midea unit does an excellent job IMHO, I don’t have a personal experience with Bosch, but still I find all vessels squeaky...

This was a 60 degree cycle. Even with cold water, a full cycle should definitely use more than 74 Wh IMO. I installed a Tapo smart plug last night and for today’s cycle, the energy consumption shown in ThinIQ is more or less aligned with what the Tapo smart plug showed.

Is the cable operator for BSNL and RailWire the same? Meaning both ISP use the same last mile link. This is the practice I’ve seen in most areas. If so you’d need to check the reliability in two ways, one the last mile link and then the ISP itself. Either way if the last mile is good with...

Not sure if the values shown are that accurate. A default cotton cycle shows the energy usage as 74 Wh. That’s too low.
