Pain struggling and torture

[crystal sleet]

minute

need to find somewhere in a box

[charred pulsar]

bro wtf

there is so much crap on the back of your computer

ok

i don't see ethernet

how tf are you connected to the internet

[charred pulsar]

oh no

thats the bad extender

because its not dual band

[crystal sleet]

yuh

[crystal sleet]

ush on fpanel

because it worked better then the others

[charred pulsar]

you can do this

now i just plug it into a laptop and enjoy wifi

[crystal sleet]

that's jsut

ethernet

no?

[charred pulsar]

pc <-> ethernet <-> extender <-> wifi <-> router

[crystal sleet]

'

[charred pulsar]

no wifi

because the extender does the job of being the wifi adapter

[crystal sleet]

ah

[charred pulsar]

how is that hard to understand

[crystal sleet]

I was just clarifying bruh

[charred pulsar]

i say invest in a wifi extender that has a gigabit port

run ethernet over it

[crystal sleet]

like the re505

[charred pulsar]

and get a much better signal via the extender

[charred pulsar]

re450 also works

if you don't need wifi 6

or just need something that can use the 5 ghz band

[crystal sleet]

will the 505x have better speeds because better roaming or wtv

its the same price as the 450

[charred pulsar]

get the 505x

then

[crystal sleet]

nevermind the 450 is like double the price?mm

ok I'll defo get 505x

[charred pulsar]

just ensure you got a spare electrical port

and the ethernet cable is long enough

i had to get a 5 ~ 6m long cable

[crystal sleet]

I could A: wait like 3 days for 505x that's like 43 euro on Amazon or B; get the 450 for 52 euro in person today

[crystal sleet]

I do

[charred pulsar]

re450 ig?

just compare their features by checking online

and price wise

[crystal sleet]

is there much difference besides

wifi 6

[charred pulsar]

full speeds (bufferbloat due to limited 100 mbps ethernet port)

look on tplink's website

[charred pulsar]

ig size?

the re450 is a brick

re505x has adjustable antennas

[crystal sleet]

not an issue ngl

[charred pulsar]

just check their website tbh

instead of asking me

i went with the re505x

cuz price

[crystal sleet]

I'll check the 450's Ethernet capabilities

[charred pulsar]

both are gigabit

[crystal sleet]

oh ok

I'll get the 450 in that case

[charred pulsar]

just check online

before you buy

[crystal sleet]

for differences or what

I just want decent speeds and for it to work and not mess up other people's stuff

which shouldn't happen since it's dusk and

dual band

the speeds are good

and it should work

[charred pulsar]

if you are pulling the full 500 mbps then everyone will be affected

[crystal sleet]

id iamgine if my phone is getting 300 then ill get 300

[charred pulsar]

re505x if possible (depends on the price)
re450 (again on the price)

[charred pulsar]

yeh if in the same room

but your pc is interfere with your wifi adapter

jk

i am pretty sure you got this?
https://www.tp-link.com/in/home-networking/adapter/archer-t3u/

[crystal sleet]

ill pick up the 450 in person

[crystal sleet]

yep

[charred pulsar]

k

should work fine

if you just use 5 ghz anyways

[crystal sleet]

exactly

[charred pulsar]

once you get it

[crystal sleet]

im gonna be on ethernet

[charred pulsar]

ensure this is enabled:

[crystal sleet]

this could very well be a windows issue

actually

[charred pulsar]

disable

[crystal sleet]

im gonna boot into fedora again to double check

[crystal sleet]

ok ty

[charred pulsar]

elaborate hows its disconnecting exactly

wait

is it like reconnecting automatically by any chance?

for no reason

[crystal sleet]

my dad opened the cupboard that my router was in and my speeds improved too

[crystal sleet]

it would just drop sometimes

and my messages would just take ages to send occasionally

[crystal sleet]

don't think so

originally it would either just not connect, take ages to connect or when it connected be very slow

[charred pulsar]

why is router in cupboard in the first place

thats so stupid

DONT DO THAT

[charred pulsar]

WTH

LMFAO

[crystal sleet]

cuz it's a huge mess of cables

[charred pulsar]

thats stupid

[crystal sleet]

yeah true

[charred pulsar]

you are just reducing the signal strength

[crystal sleet]

my parents don't care that much about speed

[charred pulsar]

your parents are stupid sorry to say

[crystal sleet]

i agree

[charred pulsar]

no offense in that regard

ig get the extender

[crystal sleet]

my dad has a degree in comp sci too 🥀

[crystal sleet]

well all they use internet for is just

streaming netflix

and video confrences

[charred pulsar]

get the extender

[crystal sleet]

is this fine

i heard the raptor thing was a 13th and 14th gen intel thing

[charred pulsar]

i got these dual band nano adapter: https://www.tp-link.com/in/home-networking/adapter/archer-tx1u-nano/

my experience?

don't get these

[crystal sleet]

how is that related

[charred pulsar]

using an extender will much better due to the antennas being designed for high gain and range

[crystal sleet]

ok its lowkery

working kinda fine on linux 😭

this could be related to my

[charred pulsar]

the length of said antennas also matters

[crystal sleet]

2011 driver

[crystal sleet]

yeah

[charred pulsar]

no its your fuckin usb adapter's antenna

for godsake

🤦

[crystal sleet]

fine on linux

very spotty on windows

[charred pulsar]

for 2 secs ig?

play around and see it drop

because the driver doesn't matter

its the damn antenna on the usb adapter

[crystal sleet]

alr

[charred pulsar]

mf don't show your public ip

💀

[crystal sleet]

i dont care 😭

[charred pulsar]

yk

do what you want to do

tbh

[crystal sleet]

congrats ur gonna make me loose internet for like 30 seconds 😭

if u ddos me

its not worth it

I HATE THIS DUMB BLUETOOTH

to clarify what i mean by internet being spotty

mid internet test

it would just

stop increasing

drop for 5 seconds to like 30

[charred pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/talking-to-a-wall-gif-9702424950693960694

[crystal sleet]

then go back to normal

[charred pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/talking-to-a-wall-gif-9702424950693960694

[crystal sleet]

also if i wanna connect to a bluetooth device then i need to remove the device then reconnect :sob;

[charred pulsar]

ok so

[charred pulsar]

ok so

bt shouldn't be an issue

wifi is

[crystal sleet]

yea but its just

very obscure

[charred pulsar]

dude

i got 4 cables to extend my mobo's antennas

didn't work

[crystal sleet]

im using mac now

[charred pulsar]

so i got an extender

i guess what

it worked

[crystal sleet]

problems will go away

[charred pulsar]

you are just looking for solutions in the wrong place
