For the free WiFi of course

Where is the red spot on the toilet?

I’m literally studying this for my next exam…
… this is a cry for help
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Perhaps it would help if you studied the actual exam material instead?
Floshie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Ahahah, I meant this as in “this subject”

Wired + Mesh Wifi is the best combo. House not wired? Try powerline Ethernet. It does degrade the more you have so I only have it for my computer and PS5.
DJDarren@thelemmy.club 11 months ago
That’s what I have. My house is quite long, so I’m guessing my landlord ran a cable from the front wall in the lounge through to the office/bedroom at the back upstairs. As a result, we have two mesh nodes hardwired to the router, then a wireless one in the middle to just fill in any gaps. I’ve never had better wifi.
jaschen@lemmynsfw.com 11 months ago
Sounds like you might have lead paint or thick cement in the walls.
I would just add another node using a powerline near your most popular spots. I would limit it to 2 max.

This diagram is only missing that one super speed zone into another dimensions high speed internet that is hidden up in the attic during the season just before Christmas as you dig through your stored belongings and wonder why you have so many dumb yard inflatables.

I have one AP on the west side of the house pointing east, and one of the east side pointing west… great signal everywhere. Don’t have ethernet in the walls? Run it. I took 4 hours out of a Saturday to buy cable, fish tape, a crimp tool, some ends and some wall outlets and wired up my whole house. Oh, and I had to get a 12 inch drill bit, apparently I have 3 2by4s in a row up in the ceiling.

This requires not renting. A luxury not all of us have.
WoahWoah@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Eh, just sell one of your vacation homes (not the cabin obviously) and buy a quick house just to see if it works. Better than not knowing!
NegativeInf@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Eh, just rip it all out when the lease is up. /s

Look into powerline, it uses your electrical lines to transfer ethernet. it doesn’t work in every house but when it does its pretty great if it does!
Dicska@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve been renting in the past 7 years. You can buy flat, white Ethernet cables that can be fixed to the walls with sticky clips. It’s less ugly than the round cables and while obviously not earthquake proof, the clips do a fairly good job at keeping the cable in the corner.
AgnosticMammal@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Powerline ethernet uses your existing electrical cables as the network cables, but on a different frequency. Beware when using in shared units such as apartments.

How you run it through walls?
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
If you live somewhere that’ll let you then access to a crawlspace like an attic will let you do this
For example at my place getting into the above house crawlspace lets me access the insides of my walls from above. Simply run Ethernet from above where you’ll want each end of a plug to be, then drop it down and put it in place through a cheap (like .45c) Ethernet wall adapter. Hardest part is cutting the hole into your wall for said wall plug
I’m simplifying a bit but honestly it’s incredibly easy to buy a length of Ethernet wiring and some rj-45s, Google how to wire them, and run it yourself. I ran a short wire across a room once and it only took like an hour. Would be less in future now that I have experience

I wish I knew more about networking.

Question because you seem knowledgeable on mesh. I’ve got a network that spans a large area. I connected 3 mesh network aps to one switch which connects to my main router. Should the aps still be close together, or I’m good to spread them a bit since they’re all hard wired?
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
i mean this isn’t really a networking thing, it’s just waves being blocked or reflected such that different areas have different coverage.
it’s like trying to read an optician’s letter poster in a house made of glass of varying opacity.
PopMyCop@iusearchlinux.fyi 11 months ago
It just goes to show ya that you don’t need your router when you’re stealing the neighbor’s wifi.
spudwart@spudwart.com 11 months ago
Don’t use the isp’s router/modem, it’s terrible in general.
Wilzax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Use it as an access point for better coverage if you don’t have to pay for it separately, but not as the primary router
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 months ago
Based on this image, the router is unidirectional and is simply pointing the wrong way.
newcockroach@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Dude am typing this on my neighbors wifi XD. Btw they left the 5ghz band public so have been using it for the pas 1 year or so. Lol its quite fast too!
user224@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
I’ve been doing that for 6 years when I didn’t have internet connection. I was 8 when I got a first smart device, Android tablet. One of the first things I tried was connecting to Wi-Fi of all neighbors. 2 of them had the ultra-secure password “12345678”. I remember the first website I visited was Wikipedia.
However, I have tried to not spend too much data. I only watched videos in low quality (240p) and browsed the web. For downloading large files (which I considered anything above 50MB at the time) I’ve used public networks. Usually at the bus station or a nearby pub.
Sometime later I got access to even more Wi-Fi networks using the convenient “WPS WPA Tester” app. Like a third of all networks used one of the default PINs.

This will seem counterintuitive, but if this is your actual layout, move your wireless AP to either when the bed is or where the xbox is, assuming there’s power and wiring in either spot for it.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 11 months ago
It’s not, it’s just a stupid meme I stole from somewhere else.
Toes@ani.social 11 months ago
Tbf this is the universes way of punishing you for using your computer and console on wifi
Psythik@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My rule is if the device doesn’t move much (or at all), it should have a wired connection.
Basically my phone and my watch are the only devices in the house on WiFi.
Toes@ani.social 11 months ago
Yeah, anything sensestive to latency will have a wired connection in my home. It’s non-negotiable.
DJDarren@thelemmy.club 11 months ago
I’ve got my watch on ethernet. The connection is rock solid, but it’s a bugger to get around.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Oh to have possible cable access
Toes@ani.social 11 months ago
Gotta make it happen it’s a huge improvement, even if that means running a big cable taped to the wall
AgnosticMammal@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Powerline ethernet to the rescue!
