  • It was completely unusable. Everyone was jamming everyone else.

    The companies deserve all the flak they get in this case. They know it is congested because they are the ones who did it, but don't care to think about it.

    The least they could do is to let the user change the settings, but "oooh nooo PICNIC!"
    Ideally they should use a WiFi analyser while setting up the device and if there are too many APs of their own company, send a report to their nearby office so that it can be rectified.

  • I don't downvote my comments.

    Unless someone proves my comment to be a bad one in a reply and I consider my comment to have been wrong. (That happened once on Reddit)

    I remove the upvote so that when I open up my history, I don't feel weird with everything being blue. <- also, you would probably find my second reason in a previous comment somewhere else

  • I just keep it at the lowest power (20%) and am right now getting > -50dB (5 bars).
    Of course, if you are doing it for the efficiency, you will also need to make sure that your receiver is not having a hard time with the low transmit power.

    So, not caring, definitely works.

  • Yes!

    The one I bought, doesn't overheat even at 100%, but the ISP one used to overheat even with the WiFi off.

    On the other hand, I recently tried connecting my router directly to the ISPs network (trying to lose the NAT) and it was hanging every few minutes. I was running Wireshark and unable to configure it to get internet access.

    I would consider the main reason for overheating to be internet traffic, but in some models, the WiFi makes the difference to.

  • I'm pretty sure none of my neighbours is techy enough to even know about WiFi Analyser.
    Also, it's not congested enough yet.

    Maybe if someone were to be making a 2.4 GHz receiver as an amateur project, it would matter.

  • I looked into my router's datasheet and all I can say is that it either doesn't have it or they didn't care to write it in (home model, nobody cares about details).

    Also, the settings interface doesn't have any reference, neither is the Transmit Power field saying "Max Transmit Power" (which would have lead me to believe that it may reduce the power in certain cases), so I am going to go with "No", considering how old it is

  • Simple. \n when you just want a newline.
    endl when you need to flush at the moment.

    Useful in case you are printing a debug output right before some function that might do bed stuff to buffers.


    Edit: I wrote println instead of endl somehow. Guess I need more downtime
