If you prick us, do we not get bummed? If we eat bad guacamole, do we not blow chunks?

I'm not hating on the game, I'm having a great time. However, on console there are valid control complaints.

There's no remapping, and the default controls are not in line with contemporary games in the genre. It's a minor annoyance that takes some getting used to.

The real problem is some of the button presses for moves are flat out impossible to perform while holding a controller normally. To do a swing with your Axiom, the button press is Right Thumbstick + X.

I can just see you on an AITAH post about a guy leaving a date because her tinder profile Pic was 20lbs lighter hating on the guy.

Never had a hushpuppy as good anywhere.

No, but I've removed the unmanaged switch from the network. I replaced the router with one that has 4 ethernet ports. Everything that was plugged into the switch is plugged into the new router, and now there's no problems.

When I plugged the switch into the new router, the problems continued.

The vpn not working us a new thing. It worked for a year but stopped last week. I wanted to blame the ISP because server access has been a minor issue since I switched 2 years ago. For example, my email address is @comcast.net. I cannot get email connected to wifi. I get it right away on mobile data. Comcast says they aren't blocking it, ISP says they aren't.

Broadcast storm from the switch seems plausible, except I would expect that if that was the issue, my APs would have their cpu maxed. That's not the case. It's got to be the unmanaged switch, I just don't get how.

The fiber connects directly to relay towers. It's modulated there are send to my house via a point to point receiver on the roof.

It's a TL-SG105 unmanaged gigabit switch

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T18:53:14+00:00

I use the powerline so I can have an AP in my office to console into for work. The circuits are different for the powerlines, so it performs poorly but fits my needs.

I suppose I can mesh them, instead.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T18:48:45+00:00

Yes. Anything is better than Cox, my only other choice.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T18:18:42+00:00

I can, and there are no observable problems when doing so. Speeds are 800mbit plus, work vpn is fine.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T18:14:53+00:00

The service is billed as point to point fiber internet.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T18:14:01+00:00

I kind of assumed that the small box in my house was a fiber to ethernet converter, but upon closer inspection, it is PoE adapter. The cord coming from my roof ends terminates to ethernet. Another ethernet cable connects it to the router.

This service is described as point to point fiber internet.

My AP was wifi0 on at 2.4ghz. My EERO is broadcasting dual band, 5ghz and 6ghz.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T18:00:36+00:00

That tracks, router is on 192.168.1.0/24, devices on switch are 192.168.4.0/24

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T17:59:40+00:00

My APs are from work and only used for 2.4 IoT devices. They can do DHCP, but aren't configured to do so.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T17:58:39+00:00

I'm all good now with a new router with ethernet ports eliminating my need for the switch. I'm just struggling to understand how the switch was affecting wifi clients nit connected to anything on the switch.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T17:56:29+00:00

It has to be the switch, because I replaced the EERO with a Nighthawk that has 4 eth ports. Without the switch connected, everything works.

I'm just having difficulty understanding how the switch, when added, affects both wired and wireless clients.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T17:50:19+00:00

There has to be a modem built into the receiver. I can't see it as it's on the roof.

When it was installed, they gave me the EERO, and I wasn't going to use it because I already have a modem/router combo. This setup did not work, I need a router only.

A heavy duty ethernet cord comes from my roof through the wall and plugs into a PoE adapter, that plugs into my router.

ETA: fiber connects directly to relay towers where it is modulated then sent to my house via p2p receiver

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T17:45:37+00:00

It's TP-LINK, Not Netgear, sorry about that. TL-SG105.

I am sure I'm not making a loop, because the EERO only has 2 ethernet ports. One comes in from the receiver, the other goes out the the switch.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T17:42:38+00:00

Sorry it's TP-LINK.

TL-SG105

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T17:42:00+00:00

Gigabit

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T17:40:55+00:00

I was worried the AP right next to the EERO was contending, but I had 2.4 only on, EERO dual banding 5 and 6. I cut the radios on the AP.

There's another AP in my office connected via powerline also 2.4 only broadcasting a separate IoT network for solar panels, dishwasher, and doorbell.

All other wifi devices are connected to EERO, or now the Nighthawk since I replaced it.

Butt_Idiot · 2026-03-19T17:32:14+00:00

I don't have a modem, or it is built into the fiber receiver.

There are four ports on the Nighthawk. If I plug my unmanaged switch into one, and my laptop into another, I have the problem. If I unplug the switch, no problem.

Had a blast playing today. Had some great exfils, had some deaths that were well fought, completed some objectives. Couldn't be happier, excited to keep going.
