I need to streamline my device so that I don't have to waste more of my time.  

We are presently working on a deal with a larger apartment complex and, if we get it, will push our ISP for far better pricing in exchange for an exclusive arrangement for 3 - 5 years.At a few smaller properties we use the router supplied by the ISP, but at our student rooming house and in our multiunit buildings, their gear is insufficient and we tend to use our own routers, switches and wireless access points (we do not use repeaters as they extend range at the sacrifice of performance: fine in your own house, not helpful when you have 20 - 50 devices on the network).  

The more impact you have in the community you're working in, the more credibility and traction you gain, and the more value you create.That's my plan and I'm sticking to it.

The only benefit I get where I live, is that the landlord can't charge me a pet deposit, because my dog is equal to a medical device, like a wheelchair - she's not legally a "pet."  

The cost for a $7 device is charged to customers at a price of $300.

When tenants stop paying for utilities other problems arise, such as burning candles for light, using propane devices for heating, and BBQs for cooking, running extension cords from other residences and overloading them, and in the winter, freezing pipes.... to name a few.

I will add though that landlords are also required to have keyless deadbolts or similar device on all exterior doors so a tenant does have the ability to restrict enterance to the property while they are home

(Add "bay area" to your keywords thing to get the joke.)If you're moving to the city/island of Alameda, there's currently a grass roots rent control movement gaining traction.

And I would question this from the stand-point of wanting to make sure that all is well with the unit and its appliances / devices, etc...

I use many applications on these devices, making sure that I'm able to use all of my apps on all three devices.
