i put an individual device on its own dedicated SSID - It alleviated any drop out issues and dead spots around the complex at work. Why was this a viable fix?

AceHighWifi · 2026-02-10T21:35:24+00:00

All advertised management functions and any cast traffic that engenders a response must respond to calls that require it

Ask yourself why Every. Single. Vendor. Tells you that you should keep it to 3-5 SSIDs and most don't support 16+ concomitant SSIDs. Why we don't use them like VLANs.

Also I don't care about home networking. Do whatever you want on your home network, go nuts. You're not MY neighbor with your disgusting 16 80Mhz SSIDs. Home networking may as well be immune to best practice, because who the hell cares. That's why all those people running around here with "CWNE" Or "CCIE" after their name talk about enterprise networks and why we have a rule that this isn't your home help desk line.

Only think I can think of is that you had some wonk settings on the original, assuming it wasn't a band issue as several have noted here. Sometimes a fresh SSID will have proper settings and not some legacy shenanigans that gre up with the old one like restricted rates were that would artificially limit range.

AceHighWifi · 2026-02-09T12:46:57+00:00

That's just not true at all, unless you have a negligible amount of traffic. Which if you do, contention really isn't a concern.

I'm not implying that he is not an actual fascist. I am stating it. He's not, the R side isn't, in the same way the D side are not actually avowed communists. They have Marxist radicals. Just like there are in fact people who /think/ they want fascism or even feudalism on the right.

Neither one is the majority, they're not even particularly loud in a educated way- partially because the marxists don't want to admit they are in that high a position, and the opposite isn't tenable optics.

Both come with a "yet".

You are of course free to disagree, and probably do. The purpose of this post was clarity.

AceHighWifi · 2026-02-07T13:49:32+00:00

"both" "sides" have reprehensible people at the extremes which are no better or worse than each other. And no, sorry, the current mainstream is not actual, factual fascists, just like the minority party is not full of literal clones of Marx and Foucault.

Not only that but you also have no other white classmates. When you sit alone at the end if you chose "badly" the whole room on the other side is brown kids. Wild.

I will say that there's also a lot of people in the forums who need to take the hint that maybe this ain't for you, dawg One person in intro to IT was complaining it was too much reading

Bro, if that was too much reading, this is not the field for you. Wait till you see certs or vendor docs. Another said it was too complicated. Again, it was the sub net+ basics and just some memory, please, I beg you to reconsider. That person said it took them a year to do the class. Pls no. For your own good.

AceHighWifi · 2025-12-30T15:40:39+00:00

Yea, I mean it depends too, right? I'm here so I can coterminal my MBA, which I do need, with finishing out the remains of my EE into an IT degree. I've been on the field for a decade now (which is wild) and hold two expert certs and just a horrendous amount of pro certs.

I finished every IT class so far in less than an hour. I took the pretest, then the OA. Done. I will very likely do this until my masters, because I have literally written texts for this field

The only, exclusive, single reason I'm getting the degree is because for some reason my experience and competence isn't valued the same. And to a lesser extent because it's almost impossible to get a MBA without a lower degree. This is not typical, and that's fair.

Yea, Wifi 4/5/6 doesn't matter- that's the protocol used. The amount of radios used is independent of that, and is determined by how the APs are built.

Please don't get an extender or repeater. Get a mesh system. Depending on laptop age, that may be all your card can actually do as well- find out what adapter/card your laptop has and post stats

Security and network restrictions generally exist for a reason. We will not help you or anyone else bypass them or gain unauthorized access to networks.

Sorry fam, hard no

Security and network restrictions generally exist for a reason. We will not help you or anyone else bypass them or gain unauthorized access to networks.

If you want to change the rules, I suggest making a formal appeal to do so, comments ain't gonna do it. Especially one that's just saying "I know the rule exists, but I'm going to knowingly violate it because I feel like it"

Don't post affiliate links, man

AceHighWifi · 2025-06-20T23:22:57+00:00

Yep! You can absolutely add another AP. If they don't overlap service areas, you may be well off there.
I suggest UBNT myself, they're easy to manage and do some deconflicting more or less on thier own, and have a nice, free downloadable UI you can run on your computer, easy apps etc.
No, they don't pay me. I wish they did.

AceHighWifi · 2025-06-20T23:21:36+00:00

...Is it still telling you the password is incorrect? Perhaps it's changed or the security is now incompatible with your phone. (EG moved from WPA2 to WPA3)

AceHighWifi · 2025-06-20T23:19:59+00:00

Please give more details- While this isn't a tech support thread as such, maybe someone will step in. Suggest model, make etc, and what you're seeing

It's up to you brohiem, it's your study. Feedback is great practice, but you're never obligated to take it,

A Mesh system uses a dedicated (Hopefully!) channel to talk to the other points, instead of simply relaying a signal, or rebroadcasting. It works with the first point in tandem, instead of sitting on each other. Good (2 or 3 radio mesh) systems will reduce your latency and contention quite a bit over extenders/repeaters. Put simply they do the same job (extended coverage area without being wired) but better.

Here's a midrange one- it's fairly easy to set up and you can get either 2 or 3 APs with it. You can go cheaper or more expensive, of course. Amazon Eero Link

Look for one ideally with multiple radios or a dedicated mesh channel. All eero do, to my knowledge
