Can I just have them sitting next to each other or is that not helpful? I just use the ssid and password that the router came with, should I change the cellspot to match or am I supposed to be changing both to something different?
totally agree....if this wait is long i will def cancel and get something else
Oh ok.
I've never done this before so I'm not familiar with it at all.
I've been reading online that those who ordered then online have been getting them quicker than those who got them on in store. Hopefully you're right and I'm not waiting 4-8 weeks for then to ship out my phone
Exactly, and I've been trying to see on my tmobile site if it's been any change and now I can't even get to it due to maintenance.. -_-
Ehh... i don't think you'll be waiting too too long! i say before the end of next week for sure if its a regular 6.
You could but to maximize range, you'd want to place the devices apart from each other. Two devices broadcasting side by side doesn't really help much
----------
5Ghz is less prone to interference but has a much shorter range than 2.4.
I'd enable both radios (the CellSpot allows for simultaneous broadcast), give them the same SSID, encryption strength and password (WPA2-Personal is recommended).
Your device will automatically connect to the strongest signal
If only o was comfortable with the smaller version.
I ordered the 6+ and by what you say looks like I'll be waiting more than just the end of next week /: -_-
LMAO ohhhhh... 6+ Well!! thats a whole different story. You'll definitely be waiting a while!

# makes sense lol. But if they have to be connected by a cable I'm not sure how far apart I can have them without moving the entire modem/2 routers thing to a different cable outlet. Hmm. I may have to message you when the router comes and it's not as easy as it sounds #
Hahahah.....not a something I would like the read lmao. >.<
I don't think it'll even be worth all this wait...
I have a cable running from one side of my house to another that connects to my secondary router (one upstairs and one downstairs). It's fairly easy but time consuming as it requires you to perform some work on your house and get a cable that is long enough to reach.
If you live in a small house/apartment it may not be worth the hassle of setting up multiple wifi access points.
LOl that **** is confusing!! i did it wrong but both routers are separately working so its whatever! i got all the phones in the house on the cell spot and the laptops and ps4 on my other router.
----------
It will... when you have the huge screen in 1080p in ur hand you'll be glad you waited. lol
Now did we confirm that those are apple products or like just ups planes in the route that "could be" apple. I mean I wanna be pumped lol just don't want false pump'ed--if that's even a phrase. My brain has melted with iphone drama.
There's no right or wrong way
If your devices just need access to the internet it's fine - I require all my devices to talk to each other when they're on wifi so I have to do bridge mode.
Watched a review yesterday on the 6+ this lady watched a 2 hour movie on her 6+ and she only used up 10% of her battery!!!!!!!!! if thats true thats freakin amazing!!!!!!! it'll be worth the wait everyone!!! just hold tight!! lol
The "could be" apple - that page is just tracking flights that come from China/Korea > Alaska > Kentucky
There is a good bet that there are iphones on those planes, though. I read an article where apple is producing something like 400k iphone 6s and 150k 6 pluses a day. Foxconn has probably been working all weekend.
----------
Yeah, the battery on the Six Plus is supposed to be amazing... Reviewers are saying like 36 hours of moderate use. (taking it off the charger in the morning and not having to charge it until the NEXT evening).
WHERE THE HELL ARE OUR PHONES?!?!?!?!?
Here's the email is sent:
Dear John Legere,
My name is M. Maeghan Skala and Ive been a T-Mobile customer for 5 months now; my husband and I purchased an iPhone 5S using the installment plan. We planned on switching my husbands line over when the iPhone 6 became available. So heres what Ive gone through since approximately 7:45am on Sep. 13th. Ive included all three signed eips and a few screenshots. Im posting here the comment I posted on your facebook page announcing the availablity of the iPhone 6.
I preordered my iPhone 6 64gb on the 13th in the am hours. Signed my eip, got the signed copy in my inbox. On Thursday, the 18th, I was getting concerned because I didn't receive any emails. I would check with the 'order status' form on the website and it would say order processing. So I called on the 18th and spoke to a lady and she told me that my order was canceled. Granted the web form didn't show that, it said order processing. She told me I would have to pace a whole new order and would be pushed to the back of the line. How was this fair? I was never notified that my order was canceled.
So Monday morning on the 22nd I called the automated number and I got the message that I would receive the phone on the 23rd. Then I called an hour later and the automated 'robo' lady said my order was CANCELED. Again? For the 2nd time?!?! So I called and spoke to an agent; the agent told me my best bet was to go into the store and order at this point.
So I went into my local store and ordered a phone, same one I preordered on the 13th. They told me in the store that I would receive it on the 23rd. I paid for overnight shipping. Later that day I checked the web form, it said pending shipping. I also checked with automated number, the 'robo' lady said I would receive it on the 23rd. I even called later that evening and spoke with an agent, the agent told me that I would receive the phone on the 23rd.
I wake up on the 23rd to a text message that my new number had been suspended. I check the web form and now the status of my order went from pending shipping to backordered. I called and spoke to an agent, the agent told me that they couldn't help me because I didn't place the order online or over the phone.
Is this some cruel joke? What kind of company takes preorders and cancels the preorders without notifying the customer? What kind of company does this to a customer 2 times? What kind of company tells the customer to go to a store to place an order, the store tells the customer that they will recieve the phone the next day, then wake up to a text message that the line was suspended and that the phone is no longer pending shipment but backordered?
This has caused me quite a bit of stress, and its taken up hours of my time. Hours that I cant get back.
Thanks for listening ~ maeghan
