Wasn’t saying or implying you were. Just reinforcing (for those who stumble across this) that it should be used in only a few circumstances.

I didn’t say you did say that, I was stating, that I never said they should not have a wifi radio on the core. It has it’s purpose, but is better turned off for most poeple’s installation.

Okay I’ve had much better success with HaLow only so thanks for that tip. I upgraded my Wi-Fi system in my house a few weeks ago and since then I’ve had all kinds of problems with Yarbo trying to hand off between HaLow and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I suspect it’s because my Wi-Fi has better coverage than my old system so the problems are more prevalent whereas before it just used HaLow. On Wi-Fi it would just sit and pause for like 30 to 60 minutes or more waiting for an Internet connection. I wish it was better at judging signal strength and falling back to using HaLow in those situations?

Wifi has caused so many issues for so long. I wish they’d fix it or just not connect to it unless HaLow is FALSE.
