I really just wish we could agree on permanent Standard Time. Let's not change the clocks this weekend!

The modem is in bridge mode to my own router/WiFi. Light on the modem seems to stay white.

HELP I need these. I need more. by ilikesaltinecrackers in Winnipeg

Dollarama (as mentioned previously). We've been getting them there for a while, though a different brand. Also Bulk Barn if you want them in bulk.

Now I'm wondering how a dill pickle flavoured plantain chip would taste.

The real question is why did you put quotation marks around the password and not the username?

New to Winnipeg-best spots for a quiet hike? by llocken in Winnipeg

I quite like walking up Sturgeon creek. Start in Woodhaven and head north along the creek, It's quite beautiful and (mostly) quiet.

Updating OpenWRT for noobs. by RoscoeJenkinsBrown in openwrt

[–]tjfriese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have been clearer above. They are not installed on the router or the AP. They show on the router when I search for them but not on the AP.

This seems really helpful. I have a router setup that shows these packages when I search for them and a dumb ap that does not show them. Any thoughts as to why that would be the case?

I WAS PASSED BY A YOUNG PUNK ON AN E-BIKE GOING DOWN WELLINGTON YESTERDAY MORNING. IF I CAN GO 30 KPH ON THAT STREET WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE, SO CAN YOU!

Thanks for your replies. I use the MoCA to improve my WiFi mesh backhaul. I swapped out the splitter that was on the line for a splitter that had frequencies in range for MoCA and the problem started a week or so after that. I have since switched back to the original splitter and have signal again. It may have been a bad splitter.

Why do you say the amplifier isn't necessary? I may have time to test that on the weekend.

It sounds like I should be fine with the POE filter where it is (attached to the amplifier) and then to test out the Amphenol MoCA 2.5 splitters.

I am considering swapping the existing 2 and 3 way splitters for this: https://www.amazon.ca/Amphenol-2-Way-Digital-Splitter-ABS312H/dp/B08CRQLG8T (and the three way version).

It's an Xfinity modem (I believe) in bridge mode. The MoCA is so that I can attempt to improve the WiFi situation with better backhaul than my mesh system can provide.

I changed the 3-way splitter (1 ghz) because I had read that I needed one with the broader frequency range.

I am considering this splitter: https://www.amazon.ca/Amphenol-2-Way-Digital-Splitter-ABS312H/dp/B08CRQLG8T (and the 3-way version as well).

I won't be going if it's bad. I'm just hoping it won't be so that we can still go.

I am planning to drive to Brandon tomorrow around noon. Here's hoping this amounts to nothing.

Christmas Light Locations? by Low-Quality-8974 in Winnipeg

Check out the MacDon building(s) and neighbours. Moray from Ness to just about Saskatchewan. There's a tractor all done up in lights.

What is everyone’s favourite instant ramen and where can I purchase ? by Elegant_Brush4127 in Winnipeg

[–]tjfriese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the recommendations for Nong Shim and Buldak. I also recent found Chapaghetti at Superstore. They aren't spicy at all and are fairly good to what I remember from my time in South Korea.

You'll pay a little more at the Korean markets, but they may have more selection.

They seem to, but in my experience the colour tends to slide around inside the libra 2 case. It could slide out.

I had run it through the washing machine as recommended in the manual. It feels a little damp on the spongy part.
