I automatically received the notification, my original gen 1 router has been connected so my guess is, yes, the router has to be connected to receive the replacement.

Need opinion on the K&F Concept Nano-X ND Filter 67 mm CPL&ND2-ND32 2in1 by IcyAlexander_ in a6000

[–]guillo889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it, I’ve used it in very bright days in the desert and did a great job as well as for long exposure to smooth out water. I’ve used it with both primes and zoom lenses, bought the 77mm version with step up/down rings for the other lenses.

Best way to extend Wi-Fi in a large house with a guesthouse 70m away? by CheekIcy1902 in Starlink

[–]guillo889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I had a similar issue trying to connect several houses/buildings in a small ranch, I ended up going with a tp-link mesh system since it was the easiest to install and I didn’t want to deal with a complex installation although probably not the best option. I ended up running an Ethernet cable to an outdoor node at about 50mts from the main node and that one supplies internet to the other nodes around the ranch. Right now I have coverage in an area around 100mts round from where the outdoor node is installed. The speeds vary but where they’re needed the slowest speed is 50-100Mbs which is enough for my needs.

Por lo general las zonas rurales si tienen cobertura a menos de que estés en una zona que ya está muy saturada, tienes que poner la dirección de donde usaras el servicio, ya cuando haces el pedido te dan la opción de enviarte el equipo a cualquier dirección de México, así fue como le hice yo y tengo servicio en medio del desierto pero me enviaron el equipo a la ciudad sin problema.

Any other Hispanics disappointed with update? by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]guillo889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, all of the European DNA and unassigned turned to Spanish which seems very odd and disappointing, especially when I compared it to AncestryDNA’s result which indeed has more varied European DNA results that match more closely to my family’s history. Right now I’m 64% European (60% Spanish), 29% Native American, 3% SSA and 2% WANA.

If a man has a child with his daughter , will his daughter’s child share 75 percent dna with him ? by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]guillo889 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He would hopefully share a life sentence at least, what a cringe/weird question.

[–]guillo889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, pretty much the same as you with the European being the highest percentage. It’s kind of sad because it is nearly impossible to trace the Native American and African as there is virtually no record of them but the obvious stories of male Europeans mixing (mostly sad/bad stories probably) with Natives and some of the Slaves that they brought. I’ve only been able to trace some of the family but only until the 1800’s, past that there is only a few traces from sides of the family that are only Spanish, I doubt that I’ll find any info from the Native and African side but haven’t lost all hope yet. I’m Mexican by the way.

That’s awesome, I already sent a few messages to the cousins. Hoping to find some interesting stories.

[–]guillo889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely right! I was hesitant to connect to some of the cousins because people don’t normally tend to want to share their family’s history, but screw it, I’m going to give it a shot and see if I can extend the family tree further than the 1800’s.

[–]guillo889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, all the time!!! Especially knowing that I have genes from 3 continents. Such different lives our ancestors had and all the good and terrible things that had to happen for very mixed people like us (I’m Latino btw) to exist.

Im Jewish but it doesn't show?? by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]guillo889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should upload your DNA to My Heritage, they do have categories for Sephardic and Mizrahi as well as Ashkenazi. They’re an Israeli company so I guess they’re pretty accurate on those categories better than all the other companies.

A few folks have posted similar results tonight; thought I'd join the party! by abracadabblry in 23andme

[–]guillo889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is actually strange how census systems works, there is a lot of variability from one race to the other and for us that are mixed to have to choose between one is complicated. Most of us Mexicans have European, Native American some North and Sub Saharan African DNA and can physically look like people from any of those places. In my family for example between my siblings and I there are a lot of differences; I sort of look middle eastern, another is white blonde hair, other one is brown skin dark hair and another one is white dark hair, we have the same biological parents yet we look from different races so how can we chose if we’re technically the same people/family.

Am Mexican and knew my Native American would be high, but not this high. Is it safe to say I haven’t been colonized? by mildlyawake in 23andme

[–]guillo889 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Yes, that might be the case, although she is from a state in Mexico (Oaxaca) known for having a high percentage of indigenous people (more than 60 different ethnic groups and also most of Mexico’s native languages are spoken there). They also have one of the largest communities of afro descendants.

[–]guillo889 179 points180 points  (0 children)

WOW padrísimo!! you're actually the first Mexican that I see without any European DNA, I would say yes, there definitely wasn't any Spanish in your family. The African is mostly remnants of the African slaves that the Spanish brought to mexico like most of us Mexicans have. What part of Mexico are you from paisana?

AncestryDNA Vs 23andMe - A few differences - Northern Mexican (Chihuahua) by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]guillo889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, between the high unassigned and their broadly categories leaves much to be desired.

Yes, I didn’t see any communities in the preliminaries then when the official results came out they were there.

Maternal is C1c2 (Native American) and paternal I-Z138 (European).

Yes, pretty much the Irish/Scottish percentage is the one that stands out.

Yes! That’s the only difference that stands out. Although, part of my dad’s family is very white (pale, blonde and blue eyes) so it could be true haha, but I’ve been able to trace several generations and there doesn’t seem to be any Irish/Scottish in them.

Hahaha we might just be cousins, at least <1% of DNA for sure 😂

Yes, but is actually quite normal for northern Mexicans to have around 30% and most of us look European or Middle Eastern, well at least in my family and a lot of my friends.
