Re: How to enable and disable my networks on Home Internet
Having concurrent 2.4 and 5 (and 6GHz) should NOT affect each other, they're on completely different wavelengths. I'd suggest doing a basic WiFi survey (lots of great YT videos on this), and adjust your 2.4 and 5 channels, based on the results, which will also likely increase the reliability/throughput of both radios. On 2.4 you will want to stick to 20Mhz channel-widths, and on 5 you want to stick to 40 or 80Mhz (NOT 160) widths, for a good combination of range/performance, from both. For 2.4 you want to end up on channels 1, 6, or 11 (the least busy based on the survey), and for 5 you want non-overlapping channels, see this chart. If you have additional APs (wired or meshed), make sure they aren't overlapping by more than 60dBm or so, and ideally are on separate and the least-busy channel (for other radios near each AP), if the APs are wired (if meshed, you likley have to leave the 5MHz channels the same or they can't mesh between APs).17Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Does Internet Price Go Up If You No Longer Have A Cell Phone?
From all the pricing I've seen, you definitely get a substantial discount if you have >1 service. Getting by without basic texting/mobile-access is quite difficult these days, IME, you need a way to get 2FA texts for some things and a way to run a MFA Authenticator app for others. You can use a security key (such as a Yubi key, one example) but the support is still somewhat limited, at this point. You can run Authentication apps on most tablet devices, using home internet data, certainly, but again support is limited and sometimes requires a text to configure, or as a fallback. Not having 2FA of some sort on your "critical" stuff, such as email, mobile-account, financials, and a few others is pretty sketchy; if someone compromises it (which is almost a "when instead of if" at this point, if you have a simple credential for login), not only will you lose control of that account and whatever's associated with it, but you'll have a VERY difficult time regaining control. I'd suggest just getting a low-cost prepaid plan or something and combining that with Home Internet, simple, cheap, and covers all the bases.11Visto1like0Comentarios
