I second the “check a thrift store” idea. People buy them, use them 3 times, then eventually donate them so you’ll likely find several barely used models.

Using our tax dollars to house people in a Salvadoran prison. Yikes. What are the chances we can stop payment on that one?

I’ve been corrected. Is is real. It makes sense that they were just documenting his word salad.

I love the question and hope to see some good responses here.

If someone reading this has Ryan Mcbeth's ear they might want to point him to this post. He'd likely have good suggestions. Here's one of his lectures on disinformation: https://www.youtube.com/live/THfi_lxBvW0

Edit: Here's another much shorter video of his on disinformation: https://youtu.be/DZ6eMYW7Xwc

In the past, what has worked for me is to configure the routers to disconnect clients whose signal level drops below a specified threshold. Clients aren’t savvy about this / will stay connected to a poor signal when a better one is available. You’d have to look at router-reported signal levels in your physical space to figure out where to set the thresholds.

Congrats, you made me wonder what the specifics were enough to look it up.

Here's the case info for anyone else that's similarly curious: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-dis-crt-sd-new-yor/114642632.html

OP- Consider removing the 3 "opens new tab" statements. Those are an artifact of how you copied the article's content.

I checked tineye and it didn't find any other copies of this image. Says it was posted to imgur yesterday.

I read this as a haiku.

 

I just fought getting a 3rd party range extender working and wanted to share what I learned.

Equipment:

Macard re1200 range extender and Gigaspire blast u4 GS2028E router

After setup of the Macard extender, all 3 lights were solid green meaning that it connected and authenticated to the router. However, devices connected (wirelessly) to the macard could not access the internet.

What I found that fixed it was I had to enable the "ARP spoofing" security flag in the Gigaspire's settings. The initial user ID and password are printed on the label on the back of the router so use that to log in.
