How to Fix and Upgrade a Weak WiFi Signal
Ross installed a mesh network to extend the homeowner’s WIFI coverage. The mesh network doesn’t create a new network. Instead, it works to strengthen the network you have. The technology uses multiple devices to enhance WiFi connectivity and increase coverage. The tri-band mesh network used was eero Pro 6, eero [https://eero.com/] is an Amazon company.

Before installing the eero system, Ross explains the benefits of using a UPS (uninterruptible power supply). This battery backup strip provides up to 6 hours of power and surge protection. Ross chose to use a APC Back-UPS BE600M1 [https://amzn.to/3H1ywD1], which APC manufactures by Schneider Electric—APC USA [https://www.apc.com/us/en/]

How to Replace a Tub Drain
Richard replaced the old bath waste and overflow with an Everbilt Trip Lever Brass Pipe Bath Waste and Overflow [https://thd.co/3pcQyfu] in Chrome, though most bath waste and overflow kits would also work.

Richard needed other tools and materials to replace the drain, including plumber’s putty, screwdrivers, and the tub drain wrench.
