"Luigi did nothing wrong" for the 2g,
"onlyPeachFans promo code" for 5g.
Please run them on the same SSID with the same password and encryption scheme. I don’t want to manage switching between the two and would rather have my devices choose the band intelligently.
Intelligence is an illusion.
Huh? Software can’t better determine which to connect to automatically?
I’ve had a dual-band setup for more than 10 years now and have never manually selected 2G or 5G, but I’ve stayed in places that have this setup and it causes much more chaos when you’re walking around. Instead of switching to the strong band devices will try to hang on to the shitty connection that you told it to. You could set a minimum RSSI to get around it, but with both bands on the same network band steering will maximize performance pretty damn well.
It’s really beyond me why anyone would want entirely separate networks for each band.
Lol, it's was just a joke one-liner.
(And in that I meant all intelligence, human included.)
And yes, can confirm that what you say it's true.
Also that 802.11ac is in fact around more than 10 years, fuck.
And, just as a coincidence, in an apartment I do have separate SSIDs for 2 and 5 (several actually, but thats not important right now) since the 5 & 6 devices have always good coverage in that fairly smol place, and the 2GHz is just for some IOTs I manage separately in a lot of ways.
🤣 Yeah I’m an idiot.
I mainly run 2.4 GHz for IoT too. Everyone around here (urban environment) has their ISP router blasting 2.4 GHz to the moon so it’s just garbage. I set the minimum RSSI on it pretty low to get my phone off the network while I’m walking to my car.
WiiFi
Serious question. Have you ever had a neighbor try to tap into your home wi fi connection?
Yeah but I was in a real small town. There was only one house that was close enough to try and take advantage so I just knocked on the door and said "If you wanna use the wifi you're chipping in for the internet". Dude shrugged and said "Cheaper than getting my own". Ended up giving me $20 a month until he moved.
that is an interesting story. I never thought stuff like that happened
They happen with almost alarm regularity in small towns and given that's where I grew up and spent a huge chunk of my teen years, I've got a lot of weird ass stories. Made only more bizarre by being from an Island with it's own aggressively specific/unique culture.
That's been my experience too. In small towns, people talk and collaborate more with their neighbors and other residents of the town on matters that urban residents tend to be rigid with. It's like small-town people focus on the interpersonal relationship while urban people focus on rules and expectations. There's a sociological model that discusses it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeinschaft_and_Gesellschaft
I didn't think anything of it when I moved into this apartment, but when the modem had to be replaced the ISP worker handed me the new wifi password when he was done, and I'll be damned if it wasn't another 8 character long hexadecimal password. I couldn't believe it, they might as well not even have passwords. I decided i had to know if they were doing that to everyone in the complex. Luckily I also had around 30 high end videocards mining eth in the apartment. I switched a miner with 7 GPUs from mining to hashcat and had a little fun.
Please don't use 8 digit hexadecimal passwords for wifi, or anything really. It's like using a paperclip for a deadbolt
Once when I was jobless and staying with a friend, I put an old Linksys router on a 20 ft Ethernet cable and put it into client mode in the middle of the backyard to hop onto a neighbor’s network.
They only had dial-up (this was around the time cable internet just started becoming popular) so it truly sucked, but internet is internet.
