Pues nada chicos, me rindo, mi batalla por instalar #linux en un #macbookair me ha superado, no soy capaz de que funcione la #wifi, ninguno de las distribuciones ligeras los carga por defecto y cuando intento meterlo yo, no lo reconoce y da error. Ya he perdido muchas horas por intentar hacerlo funcionar y estoy totalmente atascado, al final este ordenador se irá para el reciclaje.

Can I have a cable... please?
I must be getting old, because I've found recently that I quite like cables.
If you provide #WiFi access in public places, like cafes or conferences, consider QR codes encoding name/password. E.g. using https://qifi.org/. When scanned, your phone connect to said network with one click.
OTOH: be careful when scanning random codes and connecting to random networks...
Kaum im #ICE die ersten Lamentierenden am Telefon, dass sie sich vielleicht einwählen würden, wenn das WiFi nur funktionieren würde. Also ich bin im #WiFi und es ist besser als auf der ganzen Strecke von London kommend. Da hat es zwischen Lille Europe und Brüssel gar keines gegeben. 🤷 Wir sind übrigens 16:08 (anstatt 16:06) in Midi angekommen und Punkt 16:22 abgefahren. Ich habe große Hoffnung, dass es wieder ein Erfolg wird. :-)

the problem with dual band #wifi is that it'll tend to pick the 2.4ghz if it's stronger even though the 5ghz wouldve still been a lot faster
Today in my neighborhood.
Making 5ghz #wifi unusable again.
Was wondering why nobody was on channel 100+ anymore.
After looking at the transmission speed and even the Fritzbox reporting errors I'm not surprised...
Probably time to inform the Bundesnetzagentur about this.

The Govt doesn't believe #wifi on trains is a priority for customers;
I'm sure that's right; we're more focussed on trains running on time (or running at all), and services not being so full you have to stand for hours;
so, yes there's lots of things that need to be sorted before one might get into the where's & wherefores of wifi, but equally if they think passengers (sorry customers) will be happy when they cannot connect in-train, the Govt. may find its opened up anther front of hostility!

My latest home network upgrade is completed!
I managed to buy Mikrotik hAP ax³ and cAP ax wifi access points. These replaced my two old wAP ac access points which have served me well since ~2015.
This brings my home network to 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6 Wave 2).
Currently the hAP is serving my house and the cAP is serving the utility building. However, I plan to run some benchmarks to see if there's any difference and then switch their places.
@haxorthematrix
I'm no security researcher, but my intuition has always told me that #SmartHome devices shouldn't have direct access to the network. Therefore, I've gone out of my way to avoid #WiFi based devices in favor of #ZWave or #Zigbee whenever possible, working under the assumption that an attacker would first need to #pwn my #Hubitat before they could access any of my actual #HomeAutomation devices. In your expert opinion, is my intuition on this subject more or less accurate?

I wonder how reliable WiFi connections are on the Raspberry Pi Pico W. Could I set two up to talk to each other and it'll just work, even after I ship it to someone across the country? How reliable is it? Will they always see each other properly?
I haven't done much with WiFi stuff on microcontrollers, and... I know it *should* just work, but the real world is a harsh environment.

So the Unifi U6 Pro wifi6 access point only has a single Ethernet port, rather than in/out.
Sigh.
So on the assumption that running Ethernet through plaster/lath walls is going to *absolutely suck,* does anyone have recommendations for a Wifi-to-Eth bridge, and/or thoughts about Unifi vs. Anything Else for wifi?
@schizanon@calckey.social I ended up getting a #Ryzen 5500U #miniPC for $290. With 16GB RAM and 6 CPU cores it should be able to handle any emulator core #batocera can throw at it. I'm pretty confident in #AMD's #Linux support, so I shouldn't have any trouble (except #Bluetooth and #wifi of course!)
@linmob @nikodunk Appereantly I am not able to access linmob.net in #India since last week? I was not able to access it through BSNL network's broadband #wifi. I checked again on my phone, I wasnt able to access it on Vi network's mobile data either. Did they just secretly block linmob.net?

Klingt nach einem sehr interessanten Artikel! Hab's nur kurz angelesen.
Does anyone know why, after rebooting, it takes so long for a Virgin Media router to offer a stable wifi connection?
I've got 2 home networks on ours. They both come and go intermittently during the reboot cycle. As if it initialises them several times, with the more secure network being the flakiest.
I’ve had a few amusing wireless SSIDs over the years but haven't seen these before 😆

Started #rsync of my home directory, from my old #ThinkPad X220 to my "new" ThinkPad T480, over SSH.
Started with one of them on #WiFi N (while the other was wired), got only a couple of megabytes per second. Unacceptable!
Plugged the X220 into the wired network, and now I'm getting between 80 and 110 MiB/s (i.e. ~640 to 870 mbits/s) 👌🏼
I'm going to save hours of waiting. This is why I insisted to have all the walls #wired up with gigabit-capable #ethernet cables in the @ideemarque HQ 🦊
Hoping someone might have a thought or two on the easiest way to set up a #bluetooth to #wifi bridge/extender for @homeassistant with an #ESP32.
How would you recommend someone who's never used an ESP32 before go about it?
Essentially I have a couple lying around, and want to extend the range of my #Miflora devices in #HomeAssistant, so I can see how my plants are doing.
Also, if I do this, am I likely to be able to see battery levels in my Miflora devices?

Does anyone on here have a Wifi 6E router and have tested their network speed between 5Ghz and 6Ghz?
Because every device I try in whatever configuration has roughly ~400Mbps Down on 6Ghz, but reaches nearly ~850Mbps Down on 5Ghz. All happening on 80Mhz bandwidth
Making the availability of 6Ghz basically useless, it gives no speed improvement whatsoever.
Is this just my router (Netgear Nighthawk RAXE300), or is WiFi 6E simply just not as developed as I thought?

How have we not solved #WiFi redirects yet? If you're activating a new model or accessing a public network, you just get a bunch of #SSL errors as the network tries to redirect you but the browser refuses them. Users don't understand what these errors mean and definitely don't know the neverssl.com trick.
Is there really no way we can securely say: "The router is refusing your connection and redirecting you to your ISP's website"? This feels solvable, isn't it?
"Wi-Fi" is a trademark, so written. The logo of the Wi-Fi Alliance lacks a hyphen, and the variants WiFi, wifi, and wi-fi are very common. "Hot spot" is quite often one word in common usage, but most style guides call for two words. Edited text most often refers to a "Wi-Fi hot spot."
The real problem with #IoT is internet connectivity that:
- has global reach
- does not require any user authentication to connect (as in #wifi)
- is not user-controlled (cannot be switched off or checked to see if it is sending/receiving anything)
Currently, the #ecall system in cars fulfils all the above conditions and, unfortunately, is generally required by law in the EU.

Android’s Wifi stack is very weird, especially in prioritization and fallbacks.
You have two networks configured.
Number 1 uses WPA EAP (enterprise networking with username and password)
Number 2 uses WPA PSK (just a password)
Number 1 has priority.
On a location with both networks, the device connects to #1. Location with only network #2, it happily connects to #2. Change any of the cipher details on the network of #1, it automatically connects to #2.
But: remove the user from network #1 (so it can’t authenticate) and it will continue to try to connect to it, constantly. It will never fall back to #2.
This is sucks for M2M devices in enterprise environments. We use the fallback network (#2) to reprovision the username/password for #1 in case of relocation of the device or if the password expires, but we can’t now, because it doesn’t fall back automatically.
Oh well, another change I have to make to my Android ROMs…
