Home Forums Networks & Cross-Platform Networking S/Ws WiFi controlled

Joe, I did not require to boot up my computer Only my iPad. I did have to rent a "pod" which is made in the US by a company called plume. They are hexagonal in shape and plug in to an electrical outlet without blocking the other half.
They are preconfigured to work with BELL'S modem. I believe the term modem & router are synonymous. I reset my modem simply by unplugging it for about 30 seconds as you are probably aware. My S/Ws are by 'Meross' and only work on 2.4GHz band.
I had my iPad already hooked up to my WiFi for my neighbour who took my iPad to my breaker panel where I have (1) S/W and then into my garage where I have the other (2( S/Ws. Initially he had already installed a new breaker S/W on my panel.
Apart from the new circuit, the only difference is the Pod. I only have (1) but as many as (4) can be used depending on your situation. I don't think what I've said is of much or any help to you.
