Good morning!!!!

Ron...Hope you enjoy your special day wishing many many more trips around the sun.

I know it’s their router. I wouldn’t use it like that, where everyone else has access to your printer, computer, etc. I recommend your own router so you can isolate yourself from their wireless network.

You can set up wan on the router I referenced to use their network, then set up your own private wireless network in your room that they can’t access.
There’s even a $40 version of that router that’s not gigabit speed and no 5mhz option. I use one in my house.

Thanks, Dennis. I have 2 of the older units, would have to look up, but 1 black, 1 white.
Drew should do this. Very very easy setup, at least the old ones. Once setup Drew can take to his new digs and likely just have to change WAN source and will be up and running.

I may have to look at new version and upgrade.

Bill... Hope Coco doing well.

Update on Coco yet? Hoping for good news.

Drew, sounds like you are settling in. Haven’t enjoyed a good bagel in quite some time. If you walk outside do they give you some sort of tracker?

RNG, not familiar with those batteries, but look nice. How many ah/ Kwh? Suggest you might want to Google all the OB lithium stuff. They have a nice sheet listing the suggested settings. Once you have all your settings send a copy to API for verification. From my observations, lithium setting are not so cut and dried, bit of tweaking by manufacturers.

Primary means of setting your system is via Mate3s, OpticsRE still missing a few. Otherwise, no readily available alternative I’m aware of. But the good news you won’t be making changes once dialed in. In that case you might find the local lan view sufficient. Me, I check OpticsRE on my ipad/iphone several times a day just out of curiosity. Every morning, I trudge out to tractorshed and dutifully log SOC, voltage, actual usage, PV production by CC into my Numbers spreadsheet. Except for the actual kwh used off my meters, most of the rest os available via OpticsRE, but old habits hard to change. Of course the dogs and cat follow for their treat.

That doesn’t isolate you from being on a shared network, which was my recommendation. My concern was drew using a hot spot, shared by everyone else.
It appears from his comment that when he joins the hotspot it offers to block the connection from others, but if he has his computer on hotpot, and printer on hotspot separately, will he be able to print if he says block others from using it? I doubt it.

I don’t use public hotspots, like in hotels. I don’t want others sniffing my internet traffic trying to grab passwords, etc.

hah,they would not let me outside at all...
I had to walk round and round small inside courtyard to get some exercise, and older woman at one end doing Soduko and smoking away, so had to get away from her smoke.
Smoking in assisted living, what does that tell you. Some habits impossible to break I suppose. Or maybe her prognosis was bad enough she just didn't care.

When I was in rehab center last summer, it was nice when I felt good enough to push my wheelchair outside. Even in august, I enjoyed sitting outside in the shade with a little breeze blowing. Two and a half weeks it will be a year since I got GBS.
