How far is the Marysvale from where you want to be? Close or far?

If you turn the maps link about 4 o'clock a unique car will be shown in the parking spot.
LMAO, that's hilarious!

Marysvale is roughly 3 hours from me. More like 4 by the time I stop at every gas station for someone to go pee.

If I may throw out a little info on wireless, the issue with 2.4GHz in most places is simply overcrowding. Almost all smart bulbs, smart hubs, smart just about anything runs on 2.4GHz along with all older device before 5GHz was prevalent. 5GHz has higher theoretical speed and far less devices competing for bandwidth. Think of it like a 2 lane highway where all the semi's and old people clog both lanes vs. the 5 new lane highway that only newer cars are allowed to use. The downside, as White pointed out, is that the signal does not travel as far or through as many obstacles. This is why all the smart device use 2.4GHZ since it has a longer reach meaning less support calls from people with poor Wireless Access Points. Ramble over.

It's the guy Matt is talking to (you can't see him, only hear him) while Rory is beating the u-joint out of the shaft.

This is the third time I've used 5ghz. The first couple times was a disaster... very small zone coverage. This setup seems to have a lot more range so far. I'll keep monitoring, and may just replace my other AP's with these.

Weird thing is, all of the same stuff is in the room. Nothing has changed... well... now it just hit me. My Wife put one of those "sunlight" lamps on the fireplace mantle, which is right under the TV. Hmmmm..... investigation time.

Yep, early 5GHZ was crap and just as with most tech, it gets better with age. I'm not sure how close your neighbors are but their devices will slow your wireless down as well even if they are not on your network. The more 2.4GHz devices there are, the more congestion there is. Wireless home phones (not cell phones) remote control cars, etc. all can use 2.4GHz and clog up the airwaves so even if you haven't added any more devices, your environment can change. It's good to have 2.4 for the devices that need it and 5.0 for the ones that can use it. Like having 2 freeways to the same destination when there is a lot of traffic instead of just one clogged highway.

Man... I didn't get home until 12:30 am this morning. One heck of a concert.

I took vids... I'll probably throw them on my personal channel so I don't get a copyright infringement case against my main channel.

Hadn't heard of Arch Echo before last night, but damn! I'll be definitely getting into them now.


BTW, I gotta say.... This laptop runs circles around my old i5 Toshiba. She's not the newest unit, but it's just what the doctor ordered.
