Update on my New Home Network System

[John Rogers]

I think I posted a few weeks ago about the installation of my new "Mesh" home network and here is a short update. It has a great app for my iPhone that works from anywhere and will text me if a new connection is tried to get on the network. An example is a lady that comes over several times a week and does a podcast concerning my wife's succulent/plant business and takes many connects about different plants which she buys from us and then mails them to customers at a profit. She also uses the time to help folks with tips on caring for the plants. I let her on the LAN by telling the system her MAC address and it lets me know when she connects and when she signs off. With my old network I had to enter all her info manually, now the new system looks at her phone and lets me do admin with a push button.

The lan also told me several times in the last few weeks when an outsider looked or peeked at the network to see if it had a password or any type of security. Once when it alarmed I looked out the front window and a car was parked across the street with a man in it and as soon as I came out the front door it zoomed away. No other alarms since then!
