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.

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?A few additional years in IT should dampen that down to a slight fizzing sensation in the general area.
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.
It’s more dangerous for them to connect to me…
My Wi-Fi password is a simple sentence that’s funny. It’s long enough (and has spaces and ‘) so not easily cracked, but very easy for friends.

It’s ready to remember, and occasionally you get a dollar
Curious that your download speed increased.
I recently upgraded my old ISP provided router to a tp-link omada router with a couple in wall access points that also serve as switches to have everything that can be hard wired, hard wired. As well as having good Wi-Fi through the house.
It’s the little things in life but a nice, fast and robust home network is super satisfying
