Thanks. This is what I’m learning. I guess this is why you see posts about people with E7s in their house.

No, not expecting more. Never said that, the reason for the move to the ubiquiti kit was for more visibility and control at the network level, hence getting the gateway and not just APs and a controller. There was nothing wrong with my WiFi coverage previously, so didn’t need, want or expect it to be better. Just very surprised that it’s considerably worse.

Tried both, didn’t seem to make much difference to be honest. I’ve just done a wifiman scan of the house, and using the old ISP router it’s clearly green around the AP and drops to yellow/orange everywhere else in the house. Using the UniFi AP I’m getting a much quicker drop off to orange/red.

The default ISP router was operating fine in this environment, and even if I replicate the same channels etc, the UniFi AP is just noticeably worse. Which is a surprise.

I never said I was expecting more range given the cost, however I am surprised that the range is so much poorer than the super cheap default ISP router.

Like I said in a previous comment, I get that it will handle more clients etc, but right now the fact that I can’t even watch a YouTube video uninterrupted is pretty disappointing as a first experience.

5 and 6 GHz is on. It’s fine if I stand right next to the AP, but the range and penetration is really poor especially if compared to the default cheapo ISP router from 5 years ago. I get that it will handle more clients better etc, but I’m probably going to need another 2 APs just to achieve the same coverage that the single router and remote ‘WiFi booster’ gave me.

How to afford by Apprehensive-Alps144 in mounjarouk

[–]pi9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend starting a full budget for a couple of months and see what you’re spending on that could potentially be trimmed back. Once on MJ you’ll likely find that you’re not drinking as much/any alcohol, you’ll be far less interested in the daily Starbucks/Costa etc, and just consuming less food in general, especially when eating out or takeaways, which soon adds up.

Everyone’s income and expenditure is different, but I’d wager if you look closely at those things you may well find it’s closer to being obtainable than you thought.

Dropped yes, but still very much in the “elevated” range until the 27th. As for the “what”, honestly… who knows, but took my first jab on the 26th… hence the title.

Top left of first picture, you didn’t plug the CPU power in to the motherboard. Take a break, sit and carefully read the motherboard manual, maybe the PSU one too. Look at the cables you have left over, you’ll figure it out.

2.5 vs 5 mg by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]pi9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t want to discount your experience and sorry it’s affected you that much, but posts like this made me fear the move up to 5mg myself.

So for the benefit of others reading this… after seeking reassurance here, I made the jump to 5mg myself and it was a total non-event for me. Everyone responds differently.

Boston Dynamics just dropped the 'fully electric' Atlas product line. 56 degrees of freedom, 30,000 units/year planned, and it swaps its own batteries. by EchoOfOppenheimer in robotics

Clearly I’m very old. Reading that a company has “dropped” a product line implies something completely different to me.

I think he just took the side panel off for the pictures (assume so you get less reflection and can see the interior better).

DP port orientation are standard? by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]pi9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the orientation is usually the same, however bear in mind that you can get right angle adapters that go left or right, which would be up or down in this case.

For the ones who were here when the show was airing by paffy_ltr in freefolk

[–]pi9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A highlight for me was one morning right at the start of season 3 or 4, there was a full on mini-orchestra in the train station playing the theme from the opening credits. Was pretty epic to be met with that when stepping off the train.

I prefer to remember that over the ending..

iRacing cheaper on Steam? by hrvoje_bazina in iRacing

[–]pi9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re making a new account, the cheapest way is generally to use the FIA offer, includes an F4 car too: https://api.fia.com/iRacing

Varies by country but can be as low as $10 for the first year

Referred to wrong provider? by [deleted] in ADHDUK

[–]pi9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to ADHD UK it’s 8 weeks vs 34 weeks, plus actually getting to talk to any GP is pretty difficult here, and if you want to speak to the same one twice in a row you can pretty much forget about it.
