not following
how should I further check?

Your understanding is that the mic on the device is the issue. If this is the case then using a Bluetooth or another mic would work properly. Try using a Bluetooth, if your still having the issue then the device mic is obviously not the issue rather the network signal. Why the signal allows you to hear them but not them to hear you is a mystery.

regular never works
speaker off and on

It’s possible that it’s the service. I have had this on older devices where I was always able to hear callers however people would not be able to hear me. Using alternate an mic such as Bluetooth did not help.

Do you have this issue while using a Bluetooth device? If so it’s obviously not a hardware issue.

It’s generally faster and easier to go to a local guy for a quick plug. Going to Costco takes time and entering the store while your waiting and bored can be quite expensive:)

Can someone explain. I have a bunch of smart devices (light switches etc) connected to my internet. Every few days it suddenly disconnects everything. I have to turn my router or modem on and off and then it’ll go back on. I bought a new modem online but still using Optimum’s router. Could it be their routers are bad?

I had this with optimum for a while. It will just randomly disconnect and only quick fix was to restart modem and router. Optimum could not figure it out even after sending someone down (and then charging me) . Stopped happening though eventually.

Perhaps purchase a router, if it doesn’t resolve it then return it.

While on the topic of DDIY, anyone know a guy who does stereo system installs? Looking to put a pioneer system in a older car.

Torah Umesorah sent something out to schools that their schools can get a commission if their parents/donors apply for ppp using a referral link (forum rules?!) provided by eastern union. Expect something from your kids school, might as well help them out. Was Eastern Union successful with applications last round?

Remember Ambit? Same idea.

Be very wary of switching your energy supplier unless you understand what you're doing. It can cost you way more than the $150 in the long run, and maybe even in the short run.

I assume you were contacted by a friend who signed up for an MLM type job.
First check that the rate they are offering is in fact lower than JCPL and then make sure he will stay on top of the rates upon renewal.
Lastly, Google the company name to see if they have been scamming customers by getting them in on a 12 month contract at a low rate and then jacking it up beyond it.
