my 3ds just refuses to find the wifi it had no trouble connecting to for days, great
@noiob i had to make a special 2ghz-only simple-password wifi for my sous vide cooker
@bonzoesc do you have a RADIUS setup or sth fancy like that?
@noiob i have three wifi networks: the me-only wpa2 enterprise one with radius, the normal wpa one that all my friends & family know the password for, and "let's cook jesse" for the sous vide cooker
@noiob being good at computers doesn't mean you have fewer problems, it means you have more partially-solved problems
@bonzoesc and now I'm at my parents' and they have some fancy fritz!box meshnet (can you call it a mesh with two routers?) and the same network I used to ftp over a gigabyte yesterday just doesn't show up anymore
@noiob for wifi jargon, you can have a mesh of two, absolutely
glad my parents' wifi's been holding steady for six years now
@bonzoesc yeah this one's usually fine but the walls are thick and it gets a little overeager when it sees a glimpse of the neighbor's wifi
I just turned on b/g/n and suddenly the 3DS is fine again, even though it totally worked with g/n at home 🤷
@noiob i could stand thicker walls if they blocked out the other nearby access points
@bonzoesc two hundred and thirty??? my city apartment doesn't have that many, but then again, thick walls
@noiob high up and lots of windows both in my place and across the street
@bonzoesc sounds like hell for anything wireless
@bonzoesc stop showing off I don't think I could get that much if I paid for it
@noiob I found out my espressobin router had been bottlenecking me at a third of what I’d been paying for for a year
@bonzoesc oof
I use my ISP-provided router and it's luckily suprisingly not complete garbage, it even has gigabit LAN :D
@noiob lmao that makes sense in a confounding way
