Maybe this is too nerdy for this group. I got an OpenWRT ONE router, replaced the old TP-Link one I had. The bad press got to me. The new one is fast, I could not believe how much faster things like downloading files is now.

The worst part was that I had picked out a complicated password with lots of punctuation, and typing that on phones and on-screen keyboards for TVs and game consoles was painful.

Also I pinged Google, and got an IPv6 response for the first time.

    too nerdy for this group

    My GL.iNet OpenWRT arrives tomorrow to replace the TP-Link I’m currently using. I guess that answers the question about whether I belong in this club.

    I’m not sure it can be considered dull if half the people here got an erection reading"OpenWRT".
    Or am I just speaking for myself?

    I gave up on complicated Wi-Fi passwords. Who am I keeping out? To connect they’d need to be in or right next to my house anyway. 🤷‍♂️

    The admin password on the router is intense though.
