Going to RMA a second dsl modem later today.
Different brand, different issues.

I am now seriously considering the ERX, AP lite and a separate dsl modem.

What's stopping you from just pulling the trigger?

A few things.
1). Mrs nadnerB isn't keen on having three devices for Internet access
2). it's a fair bit more expensive to go that route (I need VDSL as that's the
3). I'm not 100% sure if I'll get a choice of warranty swap or refund.

...
blah blah blah
...
Hmmmm, I might be able to work this using my current modem router as just a modem....
back to the drawing board to re-evaluate and await the RMA results

Now you've lost me - why would Mrs Nader see anything more than the AP? The test should be hiding in a closet somewhere.

Coz we turn everything off when we aren't using it.
I know the AP is PoE but it's something else that has to boot.

Put it on a power strip.. all three things turn off by one button.

Immediately the question I had

momurda

@scottalanmiller @wirestyle22 I do. Cable modem and switch/router/wifi(one device) off every night, and always when i leave for a couple days. Only at home though, not at work.

So I guess you still have cell phones for emergency calls then? I've had phones over the Internet for so long, feels weird to kill them off at night.

scottalanmiller

And my wife surfs the Internet in bed so much, and we like to check on news, emergencies, family and such whenever we wake up - nice to maintain access during the night so that our devices are up to date when we look at them.

I've never heard of such a thing. It's such a small amount of power

And if you do why? Seems like something odd to me, curious as to your reasoning.

Heading to T-Mobile to see about upgrading to the iPhone 7 since my bill credits from switching to T-mobile 18 months ago have finally ended.

If you use the gmail app, not just built in mail, it likes to lock up on the 7. Rarely had issues with it on my 6.

only rarely if I am on my phone and need to dig through history.

Don't have time to dig into this but it might have what you need.
