Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[PapawBrett]

Spectrum tech just left. Connection in their box out front were loose. And their box wasn't grounded.
But the icing on the cake - the "new" modem was only rated for a download of 100. Newer Modem handles the speed I am paying for.

Howdy Army! Long time no read. I am still vaping and HHV's Pirate's Booty & Dragon's Fire are still my all-time favorite EDV flavors - thank y'all for introducing me to them all those years ago.

I just scanned the last few months here and it is good to see so much of the Army still keeping this thread going fast and strong. And staying true to BIG THREAD topic(s), of course.

Who needs the "News" media when the HHV Army is available?

All this talk of routers and now I can't log into my router's admin account. Off to do a hard reset

BIMINI!!!!! Great to see you again! Well.....unless your router isn't back.....

My favourite sport to watch is Rugby. Think NFL with no stops and pauses, no knee pads, no shoulder pads, no helmets for two 45 minute periods and the rules? You have to move backwards to go forward, and unless you puke, faint or die, you keep going.

Football was much less violent in the days before helmets. Helmets make players feel invincible.

Huh? What are you paying for?

You ain't watched rugby then. I forgot, they do sometimes wear ear guards, to stop them being ripped off...

So I had an old N600 router and a 50 foot, CAT 6 ethernet cable that was collecting dust. I decided to run the cable from my office (downstairs on one end of the house) to the bonus room (upstairs at the other end of the house). Wasn't hard at all. Up one wall, through the attic, down another wall. I converted the N600 to an access point and it is up and running. All I have left to do is dress up the walls with a jack and wall plate and it's done. Basically a free installation since I had nothing better to do with the old router and cable. The signal is slightly stronger upstairs with the N600 than the Nighthawk coming from the office. Not by much but a little. So now I'm getting 110 mbps on my wired connections downstairs and 95 mbps on the 5GHz connection upstairs (I was getting 87 mbps on the Nighthawk). This house is more than drenched in wifi now.

Need more than that if its 5G - I read up on it after you mentioned, Lori.

I've watched Rugby. It's violent but more like violent wrestling. They don't use their heads as spears at full speed. If they did they wouldn't last one game.

I'm past that stage.

My neighbor was about to pay one of his buddies $100 plus all the beer he could drink to go in and maximize the wifi in his house. Because I like my neighbor I told him I would do it for free. But I told him it better be soon because I plan on forgetting everything I learned...not that I'll have that choice. I'll forget it if I want to or not.

And with that, my wifi project has officially come to an end. Got the jack/wall plates today for the LAN line going to the AP upstairs and put them in so I am DONE!!! Until the technology changes.

<beginning first stage of wifi brain drain>

5G service with 200/10 speeds.

200 is a lot for your house.

What I use sometimes to see what's on TV. StreamingTVGuides.com - Channel Listings Doesn't show my local channels but I rarely watch them anyway.

It's a lot easier to head .... someone if you have a SAFETY Helmet on......

OK, you gotta read the comments that belong to this video. It helps if you watch the video first...at least a few minutes of it and skip around. LMAO!!!

I watched one of his videos a week back about the different types of CAT cables. This kid is awesome!

I know this is a few years old but I've just seen it a couple weeks ago. It's not a bad movie...The Martian (2015) - IMDb

I had NO desire to see a "one-man" movie, till I watched it. Pretty good job! You'd get pretty bored with taters though. Another one like that is Tom Hanks Castaway, with "Wilson"

Yep. Just had to unplug/replug the power to it. I hadn't lost WiFi or LAN, but could not log into the router itself. Of course, now that I duct-taped a couple of CDs on the cable, I now have T1 speeds and more cable channels than the cable company offers. As if any more than 3 channels were any good to begin with.
