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.

    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.
