Ty!

As a Tabaxi rogue I’m conflicted about this.

In the enterprise, we use a radius server to provide authentication and some kind of wireless LAN controller to make smooth transitions between access points. So instead of having to authenticate each time you connect to a new access point (which can take several seconds) you get passed to the next and this happens in milliseconds. Also each access point has an Ethernet connection back to the LAN.

So the problems with consumer Wi-Fi that mesh systems aim to fix. 1. Ease of use. 2. House size and signal loss. 3. Lack of cabling.

Starting with the last point:

Three. Mesh nodes usually speak to each other over WiFi vs having to have Ethernet connections. This is what the word “mesh” means. This also means they can essentially be placed anywhere in a house that best suits the need or design aesthetic.

Two. A single node home router is ok for about a 1500sqft house. 2000 to 3000 you will need 2 or maybe a 3rd node. Also, a 1500sqft ranch style house with a single router on one end will not provide enough signal at the other end of the house. The things we make our houses out of are very good at absorbing WiFi (wood, Sheetrock, masonry) or reflect WiFi (metal ducting, sheathing and even giant TVs).

One. For most people, getting a premade kit, they take home, follow really simple instructions with very few steps and it just works is great. Literally they just work and they do what they advertise.

For your parents, why would you give them openWRT? Better to just let them use the tplink deco as is, they would never know the difference.

The last time I tried to watch Farscape a few years ago on Netflix, the video quality was terrible. Is there a streaming service that’s better? Or should I just hunt down some blurays?

I saw the Hateful 8 in 70mm, and it was totally worth it. But, it had an intermission, and dialog was easy to follow.

But Nolan films are a different verse l beast, I’m going to wait to watch it at home cause, pause, rewind and subtitles.

I got really annoyed with all of the ones on my devices and finally find something that works, LED light blocking stickers and dimming stickers. The dimming ones are useful to reduce the brightness of you still need to see if something is on.

My biggest complaint about lights at night is my CPAP machine with its screen, indicator light, start stop button light and light on the control knob. The bloody thing is for helping me sleep and lights up the room. Currently I’m designing on a 3d printed cover for it ATM.

Thank you!
