my dad moved the house's wifi setup from two distinct access points with different SSIDs to two access points with the same SSID so now I can't force my devices to use the one that actually works

I'd talk to him about it if I expected any other answer than "it works for me" well of course it does if you're sitting on the router that's plugged directly into the wall, and it still does if you use your iPhone that will just use mobile data if the WiFi is slow

@bentosmile the greatest revelation I had when I grew up was that, actually, my dad didn't know shit about computers
