Wifi network extenders and ISP provided mesh-ready routers

I just fought getting a 3rd party range extender working and wanted to share what I learned.

Equipment:

Macard re1200 range extender and Gigaspire blast u4 GS2028E router

After setup of the Macard extender, all 3 lights were solid green meaning that it connected and authenticated to the router. However, devices connected (wirelessly) to the macard could not access the internet.

What I found that fixed it was I had to enable the "ARP spoofing" security flag in the Gigaspire's settings. The initial user ID and password are printed on the label on the back of the router so use that to log in.

  • They charge to 80% quickly so I think anyone staying longer than about 25 minutes probably found something to do nearby such as eat at a restaurant or do some shopping. I think most people that own EVs do most of their charging at home so the only time they use chargers is on long trips and they plan their charging stop(s) to be when they’d already be needing to pee, stretch their legs, and maybe eat a quick meal.

  • Nebraska senator invokes colleague's name while reading a rape scene from a memoir
  • Finally a headline that doesn’t bury the lede. Local news outlets have been using headlines that suggest the concern is his reading of profanity and not that he substituted a colleague’s name into a story about rape.

  • CPI inflation is up 20.29% from January 2020 to February 2024
  • Seeing the CPI plotted over time helps to get a clearer feel for how it is changing:

    https://www.bls.gov/charts/consumer-price-index/consumer-price-index-by-category-line-chart.htm

    Based on that chart, things don’t look as dire as the cited “~20% since 2020” stat. Yeah, we’re all still feeling the effect but it seems that the rate has dropped into normal-ish territory. Now the questions are “How close are businesses to really feeling the hurt of the lack of cheap borrowing?” and “If/when we drop interest rates how much immediate effect will that have on inflation? How much can we drop it without really spiking inflation again?”

  • What petty hill will you die on?
  • I recently saw another lemming call LLMs “spicy autocomplete” instead of AI which seemed appropriate given that calling it AI, while technically correct, I think leads some people to think that the LLM is intelligent. I plan to use that terminology.

  • Half of recent US inflation due to high corporate profits, report finds
  • Edit: per other commenters, the lemmy_world community isn’t very active. Looks like !anime_titties@kbin.social is a better bet.

    Note that for some reason when I subbed to that one I couldn’t see any posts but after a few hours I started to see any newly posted content. I’m guessing that has something to do with how kbin and Lemmy integrate. So if you don’t see any post when adding it just subscribe anyway and then wait a bit

    Tip: If you are looking for global news without as much US content try out: !anime_titties@lemmy.world

    Don't let the name put you off. It is a real news community.

  • Feeling the lack of moderation now Reddit?
  • A key thing about the API is that moderating gets harder when the apps that moderators use to streamline/facilitate their work suddenly stopped working. Those apps relied on the Reddit API. These were created by and for the moderator community out of necessity.

    Moderators had asked Reddit for tools and when Reddit didn’t provide they built their own. Then Reddit switched off the API without offering replacement tools.

    That’s likely the primary reason that Reddit’s mods left and its content took a nosedive.

  • Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net.
  • Do you see the comment from user “Maalus” immediately prior to the comment that you first replied to? That’s where it was said.

    If you cannot see that comment it’d be interesting to understand why. Maybe you have blocked that user so can’t see his comment but you are seeing replies to it?

  • She probably saw from your eyes and expression how stressed you were. You might have looked a little "wild-eyed" to her. She barely knows you so she wouldn't know with confidence that you behave well under pressure.

    I suggest that you leave a message informing your dentist of what happened here regarding insufficient pain management. You can include an apology if you want for seeming stressed.

    The goal here is to inform her that she can do a more thorough job managing pain. Part of that needs to be telling her patients to speak up as soon as they begin to feel pain. I'll bet that had you told staff of the pain they'd have found a way to manage it. Probably the Dr would have popped over and dosed you with something.
