  • This is the right approach.

    I personally use UniFi 6 dishes for my APs, and am never going back to “consumer”.

    A note unsaid: typically these also handle band steering and roaming awareness. This means that you can walk from one AP to another and they will connect you seamlessly without fighting over who is stronger, and will adapt to prevent collisions.

    Not sure about Aruba (almost guaranteed they have the same), but you want the options to deploy a Wifi config universally across your house, with each member being aware of and cooperating with the others. In UniFi case, they will occasionally scan the spectrum and auto assign the channels for what is least crowded in the range. The group automatically avoids each other during this process and it’s beautiful.











  • Not sure about your area, but a wireguard accessible OOB connection is a great piece of kit to keep handy. I use a cheap 768kbps SIM in an Ethernet connected switch into my personal systems. It’s saved my skin numerous times.

    I’m sure this is obvious, especially in hindsight, but just mentioning because the existence of IoT LTE data plans for a minimal fee ( $100/year for me in Midwest US) was NOT obvious to me until 2 years ago.

    I agree billionaires shouldn’t exist.

    I don’t like steam.

    I don’t really do much gaming… And it’s worth stuff from GOG.

    Chill out. I’m not the fanboi you are looking for.

    I’m only saying perhaps he sees $$$ in a venture that is rife with much worse people doing far worse to vulnerable people.

    On the off chance better access comes about from rich assholes eating each other, I’m game to at least watch.
