Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 4)

[Chakris]

I have a technical question, wondering if anyone here has any thoughts...

The netgear router I bought has 4 SSID connections to choose from.

Netgear63
Netgear63-5G
NetgearGuest
NetgearGuest-5G

I know that the 5g connection us faster and also assumed it would broadcast farther.

I was wrong, neither of the 5g ones will reach my bedroom on the other side of the house and downstairs, basically as far away from the router as I can go inside.

I just was playing around with my phone and the non 5g connections reach down here with almost perfect signal strength.

I don't get it.

Will I notice any difference in quality between them on my phone? I know I probably will while gaming on my Alienware.

I know a couple of you mentioned you are pros at this stuff so if you can provide any information that would be awesome.

Sam, this might help. I used to use a NetGear router myself till I changed to cable, however I still have limited access to the internet throughout the home. The signal makes it to the bedrooms ok since they are on the same floor (split level home) but doesn't make it down to the kitchen or out to the pavilion in the front yard. The 5G does increase the speed but not the range of the wi-fi network. For that you need a booster/extender antenna.

Placement is also a determining factor for network access. The router should be placed high and away from anything that could cause interference, i.e. electrical equipment, metal/steel objects etc.

Hope this helps.

I probably just confoooosed a bunch of newbies...
was talking about parallel and series builds
and it turns out a 7 wrap coil is actually 7 single wrap coils in series

Good Morning Army. Day Two of five days OFF ! Yesterday was sleep, trim the hedges, nap, eye exam (new glasses- $670), Supper at quiet little restaurant with Mamaw, Visit Daughter, come Home and sleep. Good Day Off !

Hey! A little credit here.. Who sent Sam (and Robin and April) his rayon?

Oh yeah, Calve sent me mine..

So what is the Army consensus on the Rayon? My petit predatory friend is sending me some to try. Compare it to organic cotton. Discuss.

Can't compare it organic, just regular cotton balls. Break in period? Nonexistent. Ease of getting the stuff through the coil? A bit harder than cotton but very doable. (I got tricks at the tip of my fingers ) I can overstuff the coil and not worry about not having enough with the rayon.

Good morning Army.

Papaw, Rick is the list maker in our house.

Today we prep MIL's bathroom for painting. First a trip to Home Depot.....

I love it... doesnt have the wet tshirt taste on start up, wicks better than cotton, absorbs better than cotton ( just put juice on it, it sucks it up), seems to hold more juice than the same amount of cotton. It works easier, comes in a convienent "rope" ( no need to unroll like cotton balls) dont have to boil it, and it supplies more Ummmphh to the flavor and TH... you might even have to drop your nic a bit....

I've not had much success using Rayon in the KFL. Too twitchy and fiddly to get it right. Tried it every which way from Sunday. I've gone back to using OC in the KFL's.

It works really well in my drippers though.

Good morning!

Edd... Haven't tried the rayon yet. It must be in my mailbox by now but I haven't gotten to the mailbox in a few days.

Robin and BK have pretty much summed up my sentiments on Rayon and contrary to Dusty's luck with KayFuns, I find it works fine for me. I even find my KFMini dripping through the air hole less as the Rayon seems to hold & retain the juice better. Taste difference, for me is minimal, but I'm afraid my buds are not what they used to be after 40+ years of stinkies. Works well in drippers, too.
