Why do I have two networks available with same SSID?

Just set up my Eero Pro 7 3-node system the other day, and I noticed that I have two networks with the same name. I'm connected to one, so it says Current Netork, and there's another one in Available Networks saying Available via Eero. Why are there 2, and why does one say Available via Eero?

Need to change wifi SSID and PW. How do I connect to Ring devices to join new network?

I've had just too many devices connecting to my home wifi network, like my kids' friends with phones, tablets, laptops, all sorts of devices. I want to change the SSID to something new with a new PW. If I change the SSID I will lose any connectivity to the 3 Ring devices. How do I reconnect them to a new SSID if they are no longer connected to my old wifi? I have a Ring Doorbell Pro hardwired and 2 latest gen floodlight cams.

How to identify unknown devices on network

I have several devices showing on my network that are called Unknown Devices. Do I just turn off wifi for each and see who complains? I also have two devices online that just give an odd string of digits. I really want to know what devices these are.

Unable to provision Pro 7 with fiber ISP Fidium

Just bought an Eero Pro 7 and first of all, the fact the MAC address isn't anywhere to be found was not a good start. Once I got through to Eero tech support, they gave me the MAC. HASSLE. Anyhow, my ISP (Fidium fiber) tried everything to provision this new MAC address and just couldn't get the router to pull an IP address. Pity, I was really hoping to get this thing installed and running. Anyone else have this issue? It's not like it was when I was on cable internet where I could just plug in any old router and it would provision automatically. With Fidium they need the MAC to get it working. Anyone else have this issue with their ISP and getting your Pro 7 to pull an IP address?

New BE68 Pro 7 keeps changing time zone

I have my Windows laptop set to determine time zone automatically, and have never had an issue until installing my TPlink BE68 system two nights ago. My laptop keeps popping up with notifications that my time zone has changed, and it keeps going back and forth from correct EDT - New York time zone, to the incorrect Sarajevo time zone, about 6 hours ahead. This is a problem because I've now seen my work Windows laptop doing the same, and that can't happen. Anyone know why it keeps flopping back and forth between time zones?

BE68 network unstable, some devices don't have internet connection when connecting to satellites

Installed a new BE68 Deco 7 Pro 3-piece system the other day and it seems that several devices, laptops and phones, don't have an internect connection when connected to a satellite. If I unplug the satellites to ensure I'm connected to base unit, the devices connect to internet just fine. So they are connecting to the satellite wifi signal, but show no internet. I had to reboot the whole wifi system to get internet connection on my laptop and phones on satellite routers.

Next problem, speedtest.net results are all over the place. I can be sitting next to the base router and I only get 150Mbps up and down, but then I can be sitting 40 feet away from base unit and get 1.2Gbps (after unplugging satellites). Why is it so difficult to find a reliable, fast wifi 7 mesh system? Already had a Netgear Orbi 770 system for 6 months and it was also somewhat unstable, thus leading me to try this TPlink BE68 system.

Power On behavior - changing from soundbar to TV speakers

After powering on, the TV and soundbar both turn on fine, but then a few seconds later the TV says outputting audio to TV speakers and the soundbar says MUTE on it and nothing works to unmute and change to soundbar. I have to turn off the ATV, TV and soundbar then let it sit for 10 seconds and power it back on. This happens about once daily where it will send the sound to the TV speakers. Anyone else seeing this or does anyone have a fix?

Kayak above ground pool and want to add stairs

Has anyone installed the steps into an above ground pool without getting algae outbreaks? I'm concerned about the water flow around, and particularly, behind the stairs. Salt water pool. I generally keep FC around 8. How do you remove these stairs filled with sand at the end of the season?

Installed new Deco 7 Pro BE68 with 3 nodes - how to identify unnammed devices that have joined the network?

I have always wondered if there's a way to decipher which devices are which on my wireless network, as many of them don't have names that are very descriptive. Names like "android-8fxxxxxxxxxxx" and 'Mobile_7XXX". If I tap on the device, it has a MAC address but I have no idea what device has that address. Then it says Your device is using a Private MAC Address. If I tap on the name of the device, it showsw me unknown device brand and system version is Android 14. How do I identify what that device might be? Just for info, I typically have around 25-30 devices connected. About 5 of them have names I don't recognize.

Constantly having to reboot Orbi

I have a Netgear Orbi 770 Wifi 7 mesh system with 3 nodes and I have to reboot it for best performance every couple of days. Are there other 3-node wifi 7 systems with better stability? Seems like my only real choices are TPLink or Eero. I don't want to hear anything about Ubiquiti or other hardwired systems. I do NOT have the ability to hardwire my house. Mesh is the only option. What are you using and do you get close to ISP max speeds without always having to reboot? I have a 2Gb fiber connection. After a reboot I get 1.8/1.8 up/down but it degrades over several days.

No network detected, check internet connection

I keep getting this message every couple of minutes. Pops up in top right regardless of what app I'm using. I really don't want to have to do a full factory reset but is that the only fix? The connection is obviously fine though, as the shows keep playing without issue.
