No response from TRENDnet Support today so I requested a RMA. They responded/approved quickly but expected me to pay the return shipping. I informed them if they expected me to pay return shipping on a product that was not working correctly I'd return the switch as well. Took them longer to respond, but they said they'd email me a return label tomorrow. I may return the switch as well anyway, even if I need to pay the shipping.

I am using a single stage press. I assume from your comment (some) other powders will call for more, so a double charge would be more noticeable?

If empty brass is the only thing holding you back from reloading your first rounds let me know. I'll give you some of mine, we're close. I can give you a tour of CJ too if you want now that we're allowed to bring guests again.

I don't have a chrono, my brother does/did from his paintball days a couple of decades ago. Don't know if he still has it, if it still works, or what speeds it registers. If I just seat the bullet deeper, do you think I'd have to re-adjust the Reeding Taper die also?

Sorry for your bad luck Bob, at least it wasn't disastrous. Was that factory ammo or your reloads?

I loaded and fired ten rounds of 9mm today. Average COAL 1.156, 3.6 grains of Hodgdon Titegroup, 124gr Coated Truncated bullets from Northeast (ibejiheads never did respond to my email). Was very slow loading using a RCBS Powder Trickler onto the scale for every load. I have an RCBS UNIFLOW but I haven't messed with that yet. As a reminder, most of my equipment was gifted to me by a friend when he left the Country. He never reloaded 9mm. Since I hand poured every round, I seated the bullet after each pour; this eliminated accidentally doing a missed or double charge. I absolutely want to be able to speed the process up. I used an RCBS 3-die set followed up with a Redding taper crimp die, then verified with a Hornady gauge. I had to run a few cartridges through the Redding more than once before I was satisfied with the fit in the gauge, I can't explain that. Cycled them through the hand gun for fun, seemed fine, went to the Range, they all went Bang, no clicks and no BOOMS! I'm contemplating reducing the COAL a hair, to be closer to Factory ammo, also some rounds were closer 1.16. It took me so long to get everything to this point that I'm hesitant to modify anything; even though I know I probably should. Thanks again to all that provided guidance and encouragement along this journey.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't understand why what's happening is happening. I did a firmware update & multiple resets. No improvement. The ASUS is a RT-AC3100, installed November 2017.

Both are good ideas. I'd have to double check, but I'm pretty sure I can make both of those changes on the FiOS side.

Pretty much as you said, for additional security. Other reasons: I can change ISP very easily if I wanted. I played their game of low rates at sign up then switch over when the prices go up. Personal bought Routers typically perform better than what the ISP supplies. There's no reason ever for the ISP to see what I have running on my network. This way all they see is the STBs and my Router.

@voyager9 & @Malsua Thanks for the input guys. The issue with the TRENDnet is not resolved, I've got the old ASUS online since late Friday afternoon and so far it's behaving, but I feel it's a matter of time before it acts up again. In response to some of your comments: Yes, the FiOS LAN is a 192.168.x.x; it has a Dynamic Address on the WAN Side, and was configured by default to run 100% DHCP on the LAN side. I changed the DHCP Pool to only assign from .100 to .254 just for kicks; that made no difference. I run my LAN as a 172.16.10.1/24. I hard-wire as much as I can and assign Static Addresses to as many devices as I can. Yes, with the TRENDnet online I see the clients in the FiOS' DHCP list. I'm pretty they showed in the TRENDnet "connected devices" list as well with a 192.168.x.x. To odd to the strangeness (I neglected to mention this prior) either the Gateway or DNS remained as 172.16.10.1; I honestly don't recall which. I also have a Repeater 172.16.10.3; early on, my devices were given that as the Gateway, even while they had a 192.168.x.x for an IP Address. The repeater is located in a shed and exists for the sole purpose of connecting a camera. I've run a cable from the shed into my basement, so that connection is also hard-wired. That might classify it as a Bridge, I forget the exact terms. It does assign an IP Address to the camera, and I can see the camera connected to the ASUS. I agree it seems the TRENDnet is behaving as a Bridge, I did verify it is configured as a Router. Sometime late Friday I had the idea of setting it as a Bridge, then back to a Router. By then though I had the ASUS back online and was done with it. TRENDnet Support claims they have people changing the LAN Address all the time and have never heard of this issue. That's why they asked me to try a 10.10.x.x as the LAN, which I did, had had the same failure. At this time I am waiting for a response from TRENDnet. If it is resolved quickly, I may keep it. If there is no resolution by end of business day Monday I will be requesting an RMA. That will leave me with the decision of keeping their 24-port unmanaged Switch or not. That seems to be behaving fine. I'm continuing my research on other brands. I'd like to get one from a company that at least has their HQ in the US. That is a small list and even then they are often owned by a Chinese company. Edit to add: For devices that I can not assign a Static Address for, I typically create a reservation based on the MAC. The ASUS does not see the FiOS STBs, which is what I expect since they are on different LANs. I have seen work-arounds to place the FiOS device in Bridge mode and still have all features to work as they should. I'd rather no go down that path. I also like having the standalone FiOS LAN as a backup. I've showed my wife how to connect to that network in event of a failure with my network while I'm at work. She's teaching remotely (even now, doing summer school for special needs kids) so going offline would be very bad.

This month's order arrived with two bags and another sticker on Friday. I had the dark roast "Beyond Black" yesterday and drinking a medium roast "Just Black" now. Both are decent; Just Black has more flavor than the Liberty. I can't say that I have a favorite of the four I've had so far; but I would put the Liberty at the bottom. Even then, the Liberty is not bad, it's just weaker than I prefer. I discovered they have numerous partner discounts as a perk of being in the club as well. I already used one to save $30 on an order, at $25 a month for the coffee, I'm $5 ahead. The club is still cheaper and easier than going to Wawa every day also.

I finally made it to the range with my new to me Marlin 60 that I picked up from @dajonga and I like it! I told my wife I think she'll like it also, and so will our nieces & nephews. Reloading is slightly tedious, but on the upside that slows me down and helps me appreciate the range time. I also sent the first 50 rounds downrange from my SIG P320, I like that too! I just wish ammo wasn't so darn expensive and scarce! Thanks again to David for the smooth transaction of a fine rifle.

I did not. I'm reluctant to put blame on the FiOS device when I do not have the failure with two other routers.

Yes, the TRENDnet has a dedicated WAN Port which I connected to a LAN Port on the FiOS Router. Then one laptop direct to a LAN port on the TRENDnet and 24-port switch on a second LAN port.

My "simplified plan" of just replacing the existing router has not been working. Yes, this is long, to provide all relevant details. I've had FiOS for several years now, with a personal router connected to the FiOS Modem/Router and my network running off of the personal one. I still use FiOS for TV, so I need to keep their box online for the full TV services/features. {I have been reading up about putting the FiOS device in Bridge Mode and using it as a client to handle the STB functions. That is a possibility, but I don't feel I should need to.} I've run it this way with two previous routers, the most recent being an ASUS. The ASUS had been acting up, so I bought a new Netgear, I was not impressed with the performance for the price of the Netgear, plus the Netgear was a little flaky (was reporting false IP Addresses for devices, app wouldn't always connect, etc..), so I did an RMA on that and ordered a TRENDnet. The Netgear's DHCP Server did provide IP Addresses as expected. That brings me to my question/problem. With the TRENDnet disconnected from FiOS all is fine, the TRENDnet DHCP Server issues IP Addresses as it should. Once I connect the TRENDnet to FiOS however, the TRENDnet no longer issues IP Addresses, the FiOS does, which of course creates havoc. I put the ASUS back online in place of the TRENDnet and all devices go back to my LAN Subnet as they should. No other changes, just unplug the TRENDnet and plug in the ASUS. Yes, DHCP is enabled on the TRENDnet (default), and it will issue Addresses when not connected to the FiOS. Yes, I am connecting a FiOS LAN port to the WAN port on the TRENDnet. No, I am not using conflicting schemes. FiOS is a 192.168.x.x my LAN is 172.16.x.x. I suppose I could disable DHCP on the FiOS, but that creates two problems. I'm not sure if I can assign the STBs a Static Address and that removes the safety net of my wife being able to connect directly to the FiOS in event of a problem while she is working from home and I'm at work. I've already reached out to TRENDnet and they claim they've never heard of this happening before. I was told they were going to do some testing in their lab, using my LAN scheme. I did change my LAN 10.10.10.1 for laughs and at TRENDnet's request and had the same faulty behavior.The TRENDnet want to use a 192 scheme by default. I'm replacing the ASUS for a few reasons, not fully related to the new TRENDnet issue, but I'll put it out there. First thing I noticed was it would fail to give an IP Address to a laptop, happened to my company issued and my wife's personal. Neither took one from FiOS, they had no Address at all. A reboot of the ASUS would resolve that. Second failure was speed. I have 300mbps plan with FiOS and I was getting 20-40mbps hardwired, when I went direct to FiOS I was getting my ~300mbps. Third failure was being unable to get into the ASUS configuration. Any ideas why the TRENDnet stops issuing addresses once connected to FiOS?

I have three of these on my belt for USPSA competitions. I don't intend to use them for this class, as long as Stu approves of my plan. You can borrow one or more (assuming your Glock mags fit, my M&P & SIG mags both do). https://blade-tech.com/products/signature-series-double-mag-pouch?variant=8666072744026 Stu, I'd like to use my P365 with an IWB kydex holster for this class, is that allowed? I also have an OWB leather holster for it. Only problem with that one is it's sized for a light, which I recall is a no-no for IDPA. I can also go with my Shield and OWB leather holster (no light). I can also use a fullsize 9mm with OWB kydex if you don't want sub-compacts for the class. Also, is this outdoors & rain or shine?

I'll let you shoot my new P320 (assuming I have it by then).

For the right discount I'll be a witness.

Stu, is there a minimum you need to run this class? I'd hate for it not to run because you didn't have enough people, but would also understand why. I reached out to a friend that expressed interest in competitions to see if he'd like to attend. That sounds like cheating to me

Welcome

The knucklehead gopher face is still the reason there is such a backlog in NJ to begin with.

I don't recall, or if I got close enough to properly identify.

Drive-thrus are coming. "The 5,585-square-foot store will be at Rancocas Rd. and Highland Dr. in Westampton, the report said. An official opening date has not yet been announced, but Wawa is hoping for it to open by the end of this year, according to the report, which also said the drive-thru service will operate from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. with a limited menu." https://www.nj.com/business/2020/07/wawa-picks-nj-for-site-of-first-drive-thru-store-report-says.html

I've been thinking about doing that. Problem is I'd need a second set. Don't think I can fit four 18" wheels/tires from my 2500HD in the wife's SUV. I keep saying I want to get a second set for Winter anyway. Never have. I'm waiting on the TPMS relearn tool from Amazon, then I'll be trying to rotate them. Should be more fun.

I just spent two hours doing a simple oil & filter change on my truck, does that count? ^*^$#&()&(&^^$&^* dealer shop monkey put filter on too tight and/or dry. Needed my battery operated impact to get the drain plug off too. Same guy that over torqued the lug nuts. When I went to my truck, two of the lug nuts were missing the caps. I complained, the service writer got the monkey, he came out with a battery operated impact and couldn't get them off with that. I looked at him and said how do you think I was going to get them off on the side of the road? He had to take my truck back to his bay to get them off with the air gun. WTH is it so hard to find a trustworthy mechanic?
