Screwball

Love it!!!! My over/under is 2 hikes. They are scared shitless.

When you are my age there isn't much booming going on. It is a room in the corner of the house and garage. It was a back porch slab when the house was built, but now an enclosed room that I totally remodeled. It has two outside walls that have windows I can crank up which are also screened to keep the bugs out. A ceiling fan, TV, stereo, chairs, table, and made up to look like a beach house. Complete with sea shells, driftwood, sand, fishing pole, and boat oars (mounted on wall) and a large map on one wall of Clearwater Beach in Florida. I did have a kegerator in there but draft beer got to expensive. So there is a lot of fun going on there while staying clothed. I have a satellite & external antenna feed to the TV but sometimes I take the laptop and hook into the TV to stream something off the computer. At night when our lines are busy I have buffering issues. This should fix that. It will also allow me to mount another security camera over the driveway, which I couldn't do before due to lack of signal. I can mount it on the dish mount and I have a solar panel to charge it since it will be up in the air. These things made me so happy I had to drink a few beers. 🙂 I drank two, just for Biff.

I’m here to thank you. I didn’t know there was such a thing until I read that. What? Really? I’ll give you a consumer report kind of thing. I have WIFI issues – dead spots where I don’t want them. I’m on physical cable coming in the front corner of my house. Spectrum, used to be Time Warner. Cornhole, Ohio, so we don’t have the last mile good stuff. My 60 buck plan a month gives me a 20 Mbps connection. Sometimes I get more, other times not, depending on time of day. For reference. I want to expand my WIFI to a back room just out of the main house, and the garage as well. You know, party central. I also have security cameras. Two in the front of the house, and two in the back. The ones in the front work pretty good. When you get an alert, you want to hook into the camera and see a live shot. You can do it with your phone from anywhere if everything works. Since the ones in the front are closer to the router, I can get a visual in not too much time. In the back – not so much - if at all. Too far from the router. If something is going goofy – time matters. I researched that system and said – yea – that makes sense. So I pushed the button. Came in today, so off we go. But before I killed the old router, I went around the house with my phone and checked speeds. I used xfinity speed test. I took 4 readings. 1) in the same room with the router. 2) far corner of my basement. 3) out of house back room with the door shut. 4) far end of my garage from the router (doors shut). I took multiple readings over an hour or two. Router room = 40 Basement = 40 Fun Room = 30 Garage = 15-20 (at least 5 tests) I ran at least 3 for all of them. Install new system. Followed directions, didn’t take long. You hook up the main router first, then the other two takes care of themselves. You might have to fiddle with a few things, but painless. Once I could see everything was working, I took another speed test. Router room = 70. WTF? That’s what it said, and so did every other place in the homestead. Unreal! I had an old Belkin router. I don’t know what changed, but I’m sure glad it did. This is sweet. Might be the best 130 bucks I ever spent. Thank you!!!!
