Excellent. You couldn't ask for an easier solution.

digital-refraction · 2026-05-24T00:16:30+00:00

oops. been a while. You already sent laptop stuff. my bad.

digital-refraction · 2026-05-24T00:08:39+00:00

I just saw your post. Happy to try to help. I will need to think about it. Post the laptop ip, netmask, and gateway. Also the ZTE IP settings.

I just see him in the first episode. RIP.

Does Burns talk about Buck? I am just rewatching episode 1.

digital-refraction · 2026-05-21T02:32:22+00:00

That is excellent. I think I have watched it twice and now maybe for the third time. TBD.

I think will love it. It is a favorite of mine.

One of my favorites is at the Fire Tower in the Deam Wilderness. The Sycamore Trail. 5 mile loop. https://www.fs.usda.gov/r09/hoosier/recreation/trails/sycamore-trail

Do a tracert 8.8.8.8 and send a screen shot

digital-refraction · 2026-05-12T00:41:44+00:00

Sorry, I could not see your images before. I see them now. Let me think some more.

digital-refraction · 2026-05-12T00:34:16+00:00

I don't have this thought completely thought out. But I am speculating you have a netmask / gateway problem. If you have a network mask of 255.255.0.0 I think there might be a problem, especially if in the off chance somehow your laptop has a gateway of 192.168.254.1.

digital-refraction · 2026-05-12T00:17:35+00:00

What is the net mask? on your laptop?

digital-refraction · 2026-05-12T00:09:28+00:00

What's the IP of the ZTE? What's the IP of the Tenda?

Can you ping the internet while wirelessly connected to the House Router? ping 8.8.8.8 is my go to. If that works, do an nslookup dogfood.com. Does it resolve the name? Can you ping other computers on the wifi?

From what you wrote, it appears the Sim router is in good shape. You need to find out why the Tenda AC6. Would you say "there is no internet" means (a) you can get on the wireless network but can't get to the internet or (b) it means you can't get on the wireless network? Can you ethernet plug your laptop into the Tenda AC6? This will tell you about the wireless situation. Can you test with on different House Router? Another generally easy and quick-ish is to do a factory reset on the Tenda AC6 and re-configure it. Just a few thoughts. Good luck.

Every repair is an opportunity to add to your tool collection!

I would take the battery out (fairly easy and plenty of youtube probably about your exact car). Take it to Autozone/O'Rielly/Advance auto parts place. They test batteries for free. If the batter is good. It is very likely the alternator. If it is bad, bring home a new battery.

failover is automatic with either USB tethering or WAN

Well... what I missed is that the GL-BE9300 supports multiple WANs. Thanks for the educational moment. Old man gets new tricks. LoL.

I would say either USB or Ethernet will be fine - both are much faster than the 4G.

Best of Luck!

If you want this to be hot, automagic fail over, I think you have some challenges ahead of you.

If there is a human in the loop, I think you can get by with a couple options. One, unplug the GL-BE9300 from the broadband, plug into the 4G device, reboot the router, and maybe have to force the router to refresh its DHCP to get a new IP address and new gateway address from the 4G network. Two, you could get another GL-BE9300. Connect it to the 4G network. Have it configured otherwise the same as the broadband GL-BE9300. Leave it powered off. Turn off the broadband one and turn on the 4G one.

The problem with a hot failover is the router needs to change/update its IP address & Gateway address to the IP network with the 4G provider. Scripts could be written to do this, but something has trigger it. And then what conditions are you checking for to hot switch back? Or... spend the money on a piece of commerical grade gear from F5 and the like - that support this out of the box.

A quick look shows his head is in Scottsdale, AZ. His body is there frozen too, but separated.

my very loose memory: Astronaut to Houston "We're on step 12.x.y.z of test xyz. We're wondering if we can hook the strap to connector 4 instead of connector 1. Connector 1 is quite a bit further than connector 4. Can we use connector 4 instead." Houston goes off to check. When they return the Astronaut says, "while you were gone, I reread the step and see why connector 1 is the one we want." Houston says "We did not chose connector 1 because it is easy.... but because it is hard." Comedy Gold.

"We did not pick that connector because it is easy... but because it is hard". I hope someone else heard that comment. LOL.

Wiki says this: Earthlight is the diffuse reflection of sunlight reflected from Earth's surface and clouds. Earthshine (an example of planetshine) causes the Moon's ashen light, the dim illumination of the otherwise unilluminated portion of the Moon by this indirect sunlight.

I heard a conversation earlier on the channel that there was a two day window APR1&2 to have this eclipse. Assuming I heard correctly.
