    Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

    Also in the local news this week- Wednesday, I installed a Wifi router in our county Senior Center building. The director wasn't there, she took a bus load of seniors on a day-trip to the state capitol. :thumbs: Wayne let me in... I'll tell y'all about Wayne later, he's a sport! I'd already...

    Got some great news this week! Mail from my daughters' college yesterday - a certificate that she made the Deans List last semester!!! Bonus- I went to the school website and printed a copy of her transcript (3.8 gpa :D). My wife is taking that and the cert. to the insurance agent for a good...

    No one told me it was 'pet photo day'! ;) Good thing Putti Tatt helped me last weekend to rewire an old light we have hanging from a tree in the woods behind the house:

    Oh, ok... so it's not a bluetooth dongle, it's a wifi dongle... didn't notice that.

    OK! Thank you! Now I know what y'all are talking about... sorry if I missed you posting that Amazon link earlier, I haven't read all the posts in this new thread yet :blush: For 14 bux, I just might have to look into getting one of those, probably work good on a FireTV stick, etc. Plus, my TV...

    But specifically, what is it you're talking about Pat? like brand, model? IOW - what company makes it? A search for 'air mouse' didn't turn up anything specific - like potential brands or models called 'the air mouse'? Does the label on yours say "Air Mouse"? What company makes it? Is there a...

    Please be very cautious about whom you let remote control your PC!!! Once they're in, they can do anything - and you'll never know it until it's too late. Like injecting spyware, keyloggers, ransomware, etc. into your system. Just curious, but how is it easier to set up the SS with an air...

    I can only envy 10mbps. Out here in the boonies, fastest I can get right now is 3mbps DSL. By today's standards, I might as well still be on a 56kbps dial-up!!! :lol:

    Average-good. What are you pinging, and how? eta: Think of ping, aka latency, as like sonar in a submarine. Except ping is how long it takes a device to answer you back. If you're pinging something on your LAN, 22ms is not too good. If you're pinging your ISP, or mail server, or a couple hops...

    r77, I totally misinterpreted your first post!... sorry. Your current modem/router is 2.4ghz. - on wifi. So get a new dual band wifi router and plug it directly into the modem with an ethernet cable - problem solved... you'll have 2.4ghz for older devices and 5ghz. for newer ones... then turn...

    That adapter doesn't require the router to have AC, it's also backward compatible with 802.11 a/b/g/n

    Funny the talk would be about wifi routers right now. I just got back from installing a TP-LINK Archer C7 at our county Senior Center. The first TP-LINK I've ever bought and set up from scratch, but I've worked on them before (after the owner/buyer couldn't figure them out). I don't too much...

    Actually, I think it would benefit you- if not now, in the future... and you can always add one of these dual band wifi/usb adapters to your PC for another 15 bucks. :)

    @r77r7r Agreed. Not only that, but higher end priced routers can 'separate' the signal streams between the two freq. bands, and some of them will even give each device it's own separate stream - not 'sharing' one signal between devices... Also, if you want a separate 'Guest Wifi' network that...

    Hi Pat, 5ghz is the frequency of the WIFI radio transmission, not the speed of the connection. :) Today's WIFI routers, and/or modems with WIFI built-in, transmit at the 'older' freq. of 2.4ghz, as well as 5ghz. The lower freqs got kinda crowded (microwaves, baby monitors and stuff interfere...

    A man walks up on a little boy playing on the sidewalk with his little red wagon and wearing a fireman's hat. The boy had a short rope tied to the wagon, the other end tied to his dogs' tail. the man sez: "Son, that's a real nice firetruck ya got there, but wouldn't it go faster if you tied the...

    Another angle {sniff} The 'DG' in the model name means 'Disk Glide', hence the solid disc rear wheel.'FX' means it has the skinny front end. The previous owner put that saddle on it... I loved the way it sat, didn't care for the 'tassles', but couldn't figure out how to cut 'em off and make it...

    Here she is, on July 6, 2003 - the day I sold it {sniff} 'scuse me, I choked a little when I said 'sold it' {sniff}*... The digital camera we had at the time had a whopping 2.2 megapixel sensor, so pics are not too good compared to today's cameras. 1984 Harley Davidson FX-R DG (you oughtta...
