    What book are you reading...

    Reading the SimCavalier Trilogy by Kate Baucheral. Enjoying it very much so far, its set in the near future (2040) and is about cybercrime, the possible use of future technology used in the book is very interesting. I would think many on here would enjoy these books.

    I have the eero 6 connected to two Aruba AP22 Access Points which gives excellent WiFi though my house including the Summer House in the garden. Have not decided if i'm going to replace the eero 6 yet, like the info on the App but would like to be able to turn the WiFi off on their supplied router.
