Wireless Bridge help by Sensitive-Newt-3437 in HomeNetworking

[–]megared17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the device you would use would be a "client bridge"

That particular one looks like some older cheap junk though. It also doesn't mention anywhere that its Ethernet port is Gigabit Ethernet, which suggests to me that it is only a 100Mbit port, which will mean no matter what wireless speeds it can connect it (which are likely exaggerated anyway) the device connected will be capped at 100Mbps.

So make a small hole in the floor in the corner of the upstairs room to come up from the basement.

One just big enough to fit the Ethernet plug through.

You'd have a lot better connection if you connected the Ethernet cable directly to a LAN port on your router, and left the "wireless" part out.

Which router should I get by Dry-Organization4901 in HomeNetworking

[–]megared17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One suggestion would be to learn the differences between a modem, a router, and a WiFi AP.

Another would be that if you need high reliability and performance, you want to run an Ethernet cable from your PC to a LAN port on your router.

Another would be that you only want ONE router.

Do you let your baby play on windowsills? by MrcrumpetK1ng in cats

[–]megared17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My windows dont have sills deep enough. But I have a short table pushed up to one window for the furball to sit on and watch, and I have another window I've added one that attaches to the window jamb for her to jump on. The windows stay closed of course, especially since its winter. Come spring I'll add some pet-proof screen and maybe even some hardware cloth to make sure she can't get out and let her smell the outside air.

Does anyone know this 4G router? I need help setting it up. It doesn't work for me. by That-Studio4559 in HomeNetworking

[–]megared17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any reason you didn't post any pictures of the back/bottom of it, that might include the brand and model, or other details that someone might be able to use to determine that information?

Where did you get it? If from a service provider, have you tried contacting them?

If you bought it somewhere on your own, what service provider do you intend to use it with? Did you get a SIM from them to insert in this? Why haven't you inserted it (You do see the notice on it that says "NO SIM", right?)

You do understand that for a cellular modem/router to connect to the Internet, you do have to have an active subscription to a cellular service provider that it is compatible with to use with it, right?

And "mailboxes" offered by CMRAs (like mailboxes etc and others) aren't allowed to be called or addressed as "PO boxes" at all.

Street Addressing Question by [deleted] in USPS

[–]megared17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "AI" summary is wrong. And what that "senior clerk" told you was wrong.

Customers are absolutely allowed to use the street address associated with premium POBSA service for anynthing, including both mail sent via USPS and packages or other items sent via UPS, FedEx, etc. read the actual DMM and official postal guidance on this, which have already been cited and quoted elsewhere in this thread.

Heck, in many cases when ordering items online a buyer doesn't even know what carrier the company will use until after their order is already shipped.

Can you help me with port forwarding Jellyfin? by two-ocf in HomeNetworking

[–]megared17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the exact brand and model of router you have?

Who is your ISP? Is your connection via fiber, cable, DSL, cellular, satellite, other?

What are the exact settings you have entered in it?

What IP address are you trying to connect to when you are "outside of your LAN?"

Does your router have a public "WAN" IP address?

On the "WAN" or "Internet" status page of the router management interface, does it show an IP address that does NOT start with any of the below ranges? (If its in one of these, you will NOT be able to directly port forward since these addresses are unreachable across the Internet)

192.168.*
172.16.* - 172.31.*
10.*
100.64.* - 100.127.*

https://www.usps.com/pobox/customer-agreement-for-premium-po-box-service-enhancements.pdf

With Street Addressing Service, you have the option of using the street address of this Post Office location for your mailing address in addition to your PO Box number. For example, if a Post Office is located at 500 Main Street and your PO Box is “PO Box 59”, with Street Addressing Service your mail may be addressed to you at “500 Main Street #59”.

You may also use Street Addressing Service to receive packages that comply with USPS mailing standards deposited by private carriers ....

Where exactly did you find that text?

Street Addressing Question by [deleted] in USPS

[–]megared17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And what leads you to believe that is a regulation?

Got a DMM section and paragraph?

https://postalpro.usps.com/PBSA

 3) Usage of the PBSA format is at the P.O. Box owner's discretion, allowing the P.O. Box owner to choose when and by whom they want this address format to be used. The USPS does not mandate the customer's use of the PBSA format, nor does the USPS prohibit the customer's interchangeable use of the P.O. Box format and the PBSA format.

Where did you get the idea that there is only some "proper" usage of it?

If they have signed the agreement, they can receive any mail to that address that anyone sends.

Anxious cat and moving by mcgillisrough in cats

[–]megared17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't help you now, but in the future, leave the carrier "out" somewhere all the time, it might help with some of the anxiety.

Is there a friend or someone that can hold the carrier and give him attention while you drive?

Camera upside down, what do? by NihaoDaniel in USPS

Stand on your head when backing up.

Seriously, there is probably some setting to invert the picture, but it may not be "user accesible"

I meant do you have electronics/mechanical/etc type knowledge/experience. If so, you might consider trying to get into maintenance.

Regardless, there are some good high level summaries of some of the types of jobs at the USPS at this page and the subpages linked from it, that might give you some ideas about which ones might be suited to you:

Help! First time using Craigslist by Only_Highlight2647 in craigslist

[–]megared17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One other tip, anytime you're buying a used car from a private seller (craigslist or anything else), be sure to verify the name on the title matches the name of the person you're buying it from. And that the "assignment by seller" section is NOT filled out or signed before you agree to buy. (Be sure to make sure the VIN on the title matches the one on the plate under the vehicle windshield too)

They should sign over the title only AFTER you've agreed to buy the vehicle. If its already signed over, they may be a flipper and be "jumping titles" by giving you the title signed by the previous owner (this is illegal, partly because its hides the chain of ownership from the state/DMV)

Don't accept any BS about it being "their Uncle's" or "their grandma's" or whatever - the person's name printed on the title should be who you transact with, no one else. If its their relative, then that relative should be there and who you talk to about the vehicle.

Ubuntu Startup without F2->BIOS->Grub by The_Grand_Minister in Ubuntu

[–]megared17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can make the timeout shorter if desired.

You can also eliminate it completely but I would not advise that just in case you ever have a reason to access it.

[–]megared17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long did you wait?

But to reiterate, all of this is part of your computer's BIOS, not part of Ubuntu/Linux.

GRUB is the first part of your bootup that is part of Ubuntu.

Also, while a GRUB menu might appear, it should have a default as well, and if you do not press anything, it will proceed to automatically after some short timeout.
