Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 30/12/2023
Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I'm trying to work out what I did to break my wifi. Pretty sure it's just the Amplifi mesh network, it's crazy unstable. I tried changing channels but that didn't help. Anyone have suggestions?
Change anything in the setup recently? Or just started acting up?
Heaps! Haha, I shouldn't have messed with things. I actually discovered today one of the mesh points wasn't working. Not sure why, but it was reported as disconnected when it was plugged in. Maybe the OS had crashed?
I also had another go at using an Ethernet backbone just now. Last time I tried it did not go well, but it's working great now! Of course, the nature of unstable WiFi is that it's great sometimes and terrible others so we will see if its new found solid connection will last.
How old are the devices? I've had routers in the past that after a couple of years just gave up. They were cheapish though.
Hmm at least a few years but not old by any stretch. They are Ubiquiti so should be decent quality.
I've actually had another go tonight at connecting an Ethernet backbone (wire in the second mesh point with Ethernet instead of using half the WiFi bandwidth for the transfer), last time I tried it, well that was about when all the troubles started so I assumed it was related. Reversing it didn't help though, and I've just tried reenabling it and the internet is better than it's been in ages.
Hopefully it lasts, though it has been off and on great and terrible so we will see.
