The last thing I have to check (on my day off Friday) - right now I run my modem to an older router that I use as a switch and then have my mesh network connected to that. I can't imagine it will make much difference but I'm going to go direct to the mesh network router instead and use the extra ethernet port there to get the signal over to the older router (that I may replace with a switch anyway).
The other router isn't that old and I'm sure the hardwired ports in it are not hurting my bandwidth, but it's worth a check.
If you do not have the older router in bridged mode, yes, having two routers can cause issues, especially if the old one is still broadcasting a wifi signal.

I definitely turned off the wifi on it, but I don't know if it is in bridge mode. And I can't log into it without reseting it because I can't remember the password.
Got things corrected. Modem to the mesh router. Older router in bridge mode (far as I can tell). Some weird "Device Prioritization" setting on the mesh router was also messing things up. After all that, I get 140+ MBPS almost all around the house on WiFi and the desktop and other hard wired devices get 225 MBPS.
Didn't know if there was something that was more traditional as far as having a guide button. I don't know maybe I'm just not liking their setup
Turn TV on, scroll down to app list, scroll over to YouTube TV, scroll over to Live to get to Guide. First world problems, I cant cope with having to do four steps instead of two

If I have relatives over, they would have to not only have the app on their phone but also sign into my account if I wasn't around?
Yeah when the parents are over to babysit we give them a tablet to control from since our TV isn't "smart"
I call my wife's cell phone from mine her phone rings a few times then someone else answers the call? We have checked her call forwarding setting and it isn't set up to forward calls. Other people have tried to call her and it does the same thing if she doesn't immediately answer when it rings.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Once. Never had an issue after that one time though
I gave my son my original Pixel last year when I got the 3XL. It finally shit the bed and he is now running with the 4XL. That thing is nice. Told him that was the last phone I ever buy for him, it's time to start adultimg.
I always wait at least 2 years before buying a new phone so I guess I'll wait for the 5 or 6 before upgrading again.
