Cuddelink 101?

I know that they say a capacitor addition fixes this, but I also have a home cell camera that this will be the third time it will be sent back for the same problem. Are they sure that is the fix. Thus I ask will the new firmware address this problem or is there more that needs to be done to fix the problem.

this is not something that firmware can address, if it was me and i had that issue more than once id trade it in for a L home , the L has advantages over the G and you won't have the capacitor issue again.

What are the advantages of an L home vs a G?

dual sim cards , can remotely change from att to verizon or vice versa, improved case/housing design, will soon allow for remote firmware updates, slightly better battery life

Will there ever be an L home with camera?

in the future its likely, but definitely not this year. The reality is, unless you are running a very small network (under 3-5 cameras ) a non camera home is better for overall performance , especially with Remote firmware updates coming and hi res images possible with Gen 3 cuddelink. There are other reasons as well(cost placing it up high for service and preventing theft etc). I switched all of my networks to L home , even those that run under 10 cameras.

I'm on a G home camera(with solar panel) with 11 L remotes(+solar). The remote firmware update does seem handy, but in reality, I'm not sure if it's worth $130 plus the possible cost of the solar panel. The G home is in the only place I get cell service and I want a camera there too.

Can you detail what "better performance" means? I'm on the mid tier plan, and not sure I need to step up to unlimited, but am very interested in being able to pull full resolution pictures for pics that warrant it

It really depends on deer population in your area. I had 15 cameras on one network last year during hunting season. I set the rate to one image and never had a backup. That was with a G home.
