Bet you came home speaking with a French accent too, using words like “Carpark” and “University” when telling your friends about your trip. Kind of like the Island Niles episode of Frasier. Douche.

I invested in Ubiquiti Gear long ago. Totally changed home networking, future proofed really. I've got 5 access points for perfect coverage on the compound.

It's coming.. fiber. Starlink is available now.

1000 Mbs... if Fiber, it's both up and down. If cable, they shortchange you on the uplink.

Glad to hear this Smash. We stream EVERYTHING in my house so I switched over to a Mesh system about 5 years ago. I actually had the Ubiquiti system but gave it to my brother. We now have the Netgear Orbi WIFI 6E system and Nighthawk dual router ... it's not cheap but NO MORE DEAD ZONES in the house! Constant buffering was killing me, especially on Saint's game day.

As for Fiber Optic, SPECTRUM keeps telling us that it will be available in our area soon. That is about a 10-year-old lie now

.

But yeah I agree, those new WIFI network systems are awesome

Your bottleneck is your firewall/router, even on a mesh. Their processors simply can't hang with the traffic. It is more work to run cat6, but worth it in the end. It was an easy upgrade to WIFI6. Dream machine Pro or SE is the shiznit. MU MIMO is key also... It stands for multiple user, multiple in multiple out. In plain English, it means it can handle all wireless hardware and then some with all the extra lanes of traffic, unlike a mesh or worse yet, a standard Wifi router. The WiFi routers that have MU MIMO cost an arm and a leg. Hence the no brainer to Ubiquiti gear. Side benefit with Dream machine is you can fast track your home to a smart home.

Nope. Same old midwestern accent. Douche? I take it that is a French term of endearment.

Douche, Dude!

I doubt there's a chance of that happening this season. And if he has the season we're all hoping for, then wounds will likely heal.

Trading Mike in 2022 ain't happening boss.
