    Late 2013 MBP 15" - Network slows after time

    So this is an odd one. A couple times now my '15 MBP (late 2013) will completely slow down my internet speed on my Mac, both wired and wireless. I have gigabit internet from FIOS and I was limited to about 5mbps on my Mac. On my iPhone 11 it was normal internet speeds. Initially I thought it...

    Wireless bridge, extender, repeater, for Hue Bridge???

    I'm assuming there's a really simple answer for this. The wireless in my apartment is shared by many people. The router itself is in a very inconvenient location for me to physically access however the signal it provides works just fine. I need to connect the "Hue Bridge" to a router with an...

    CarPlay Non-Wireless Carplay w/ Portless iPhone. How will it work?

    Hello everyone! I am looking to buy an Apple Carplay aftermarket system for my car. Obviously, I would want it wireless, but even after 4 years of CarPlay, there's just a handful of models available, and prices don't ever go down. It crosses the $1 000 CAD line, which I don't think is a good...

    Other H Chips and the Implication for W

    Apple changed the chip series name in the new AirPods from W to H, which presumably stands for headphones. Why? I think because Apple will be using the W (wireless) naming for their in-house cellular modem chips for iPhone. So this pretty much confirms it, right?

    Router interfering with MBP and dismounting drives...

    Last night, I figured out that my router (a Panoramic combination router/modem from my cable company) has been interfering with my 2017 MBP (as well as two 2018 MBPs). Specifically, it was causing random dismounting of drives and a memory card. I recently bought and returned two 2018 MacBook...
