I too established specific IP addresses for my computer, iPad, iPhone and ?watch. Never saw a need to use a private Wi-Fi address since they rarely leave the house, so am quite certain I never enabled it. One day my Fing box noticed a new iPhone on my network and found somehow private Wi-Fi address was enabled on my iPhone.

My question is: Can this Private Wi-Fi Address enable itself (my 7 year old grandson tells me he does not change it, but I want to be sure it can't enable itself).

I meant to reply to this thread, Jeff, but forgot. ?
Like you I have Verizon FiOS and a router I purchased from Verizon.
The Verizon WiFi signal was quite week three floors down where we have our TV so I bought this router which got great reviews for the strength of it’s WiFi signal and was, at that time, top rated by the Wirecutter.com
Here was the way I set it up, as a Wireless Access Point [visuals are from the Synology router page]
Multiple Mac computers, iPhones, an iPad, and an Apple Watch all connect just fine on either the 2.4 or 5 network.

My ISP is Compost, uh, I mean Comcast/Xfinity. And they insist that I use this huge Gateway box, since I am using Internet Essentials. I don’t pay a rental fee, and they imply that I have to use their device, and their current device authorization requires a QR code on the device.?
I changed the name on the WiFi network it set up, then completely ignore it. I never connect to it. I then run an Ethernet cable to my Apple Airport, or any other router/WiFi device and use that Wifi network.?
In effect, all their provided 12” x 12” x 1.5” multi-purpose device does is the gateway function. It connects me to their service. I don’t use it as a WiFi device. I shut off the public Wifi function. I don’t use either the Ethernet or Wifi router function. I don’t use the VOIP function.?
I only use the gateway function and pass-thru to my router.?

Story:?
Verizon has sent me 4 routers, and they all fail to keep a 2.4ghz band working. The 5ghz is consistent.?
So, one solution is for me to simply add a 2.4ghz separate router.?
The need is for my wifi printer and also a few IOT devices, including a wifi thermostat, which all use 2.4 and not 5.?
Ok, so I bought a small 2.4 only router. plugged it into?ethernet.?
Attached devices, and they get internet and connect ok - EXCEPT that the printer, which?in the 2.4ghz router (NOT the guest network) is not visible to the rest of the network.?
Am I misunderstanding how the router works? that the printer should?be visible to the whole network when it's connected through the regular 2.4 ghz band of a router?that is on my ethernet??
What does work, is if I make the mac mini connect to the 2.4 ghz wifi, then it also sees the printer, but only if they are on the exact same wifi band.?

That is normal. You really don't want "remote content" enabled in your e-mail client. It is only an issue with HTML in e-mail. The infamous web beacons are not possible in normal plain text mails.

Once I press on the link ?I get all the pictures or background information.
Did I press something wrong in settings to make this happen or it this something new?
I may have signed up for a beta Apple situation to get new beta updates but I haven’t downloaded any of those and can’t figure out how to get out of it.
Am I the only one getting this load content link?
I would much rather get all the pictures than have to press that link every single time.
I actually started with a licence for DiskAid before it got rebranded to iMazing. I use it for the "few other things" and I have both iMazing for Mac and iMazing for Windows, but I never looked for a "battery health" option. My iMazing licence is "perpetual", but it is one of the very few where I am thinking about the subscription for the already mentioned but not yet available iMazing 3.

Have to download it to and connect your iPad to another computer, but it did what I wanted it to. It costs somewhere around $50 US if you decide to keep it.
I had only been giving my iPad short little charges, probably less that 30% and after a while it decided it did not to charge at all.
I did what has been suggested here, treated it like a Ni-Cad. Ran it down completely and then charged it fully overnight. Trouble free since.
