Dr. Google says they heat the room to 118 degrees for 90 minutes, minimum, to kill all bed bugs and their eggs. So, I probably wouldn't run a computer while they're doing a treatment, but your appliances and stuff will be fine.

If you were to throw the bed out, you'd probably be left with eggs on the floor or at least one bed bug... all you need is one to restart an infestation.

Yeah, you can do that, but then you’ve got a double NAT. I tried DMZing the C4000XG to my Orbi to avoid that and got some pretty lousy results.

I bought a TP-Link 802.11ax extender and it works… some of the time. Definitely not perfect.

If I could put a (retail) mesh router in of my own choosing, absolutely would not have an issue in coverage. But you can’t do that, at least in an acceptable way.

Even if you don’t have a 3600 square foot house, just having a second story and a not centrally located place for their equipment would be problematic. You can add a 3rd party network extender, but those are largely hit or miss.

Wifi coverage with their included router is lacking for my particular house. No easy way to expand coverage, except for repeaters that don’t integrate easily with their garbage equipment.

So, I guess your experience might vary based on house size and what your setup is like. I run a variety of home servers (a NAS, Plex server, a PiHole, among others), have a number of smart devices, and my house is 130+ years old and 3600 square feet. The C4000XG is garbage for a power user or anyone needing a decent amount of wifi coverage.

But saying “what this person says isn’t true,” is just rude. And what you’re calling “the modem” is likely the ONT, which is not a modem at all. It doesn’t handle authentication for their fiber optic network.

Yes. But you still need their equipment. They don’t offer a modem by itself, as far as I know. It’s a router/modem combo. And you’re still going to have to use it unless you find a router that supports VLAN mapping and IPoE authentication.

I am able to buy multiple brands from Louisiana containing coffee with chicory (community, cafe du monde, etc.) at Price Cutter, surprisingly!

I'm fairly confident my bougie policy will pay for the testing, even with BCBS, but I don't think it'll save that much when it comes to self-pay ($50 seems to be the estimate I'm coming up with) and it will count as a visit (policy allows a certain number of visits a year before co-insurance kicks in).

Family member doesn't want to go to Eustasis anyways. They've heard that it's got a bunch of clinicians that are Jesus-y, and we're definitely not Jesus-y here.
