Believe me I wish it were easy. It was a big accomplishment to get the access point within 20 feet of where I am now.

Oh I know - it is only a stop-gap measure to get me going until I get a decent wifi card. I had one lying around already configured as a bridge. It is still faster than that TP-Link card though. -- "You should sit in nature for 20 minutes a day.

Definitely some issues with the card - I connect to the Bell wifi in the basement and am getting some sketchy performance and 5Mbit down and 13 up Connect to the Bell wifi with my phone and getting 55 down and 105 up Dang.

Ug so regarding performance on the desktop I get 10Mbit down and 70 up. I have Bell Fibe 1G / 150Mbit On my phone from the same location gettings 74 down and 131 up. I guess I'm going to still try the ASUS wifi card I ordered from Staples online as it has an external antenna. I'll try adjusting these antennae a bit to see if I get anywhere with that.

[linux] Wifi issue with TP-Link TL-WN881ND
Ubuntu 18.04 with latest updates Linux HOSTNAME 5.3.0-45-generic #37~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 27 15:58:10 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Very strange issue here. Ubuntu recognised the card no issue and everything appeared to be functioning but I just couldn't connect to my wifi. After a fair bit of frustration I decided to try to connect to the Bell WiFi directly on the Home Hub 3000 I have for Fibe - BAM it works fine. Well, other than the fact that that thing is in the basement and I'm on the 2nd floor so I only get about 5Mbit up and down through it. I have the HH3000 in bridge mode and I have an Ubiquiti USG and a couple of Unifi-AC-PRO access points, along with the Unifi controller. This setup has been working great for years now and I've connected a wide range of clients to it without issues. rPis, various IoT devices from multiple vendors like smart switches and so forth, Windows, Linux. Mac you name it. Never a single issue. But dammit if I can figure out why this card won't connect. I've tried various SSIDs that I have enabled including both 2.4/5G mixed SSIDs, and 2.4 and 5G segregated. Here are the log entries from when it works against the HH3000 and below that logs from when it doesn't work against my Ubiquiti setup I've been doing a fair bit of googling and running some nmcli debug commands and have not been able to find anything yet as to what is up here >From within my Ubiquiti GUI logs I cannot find an instance of the MAC address of my TP-Link card.

Before you do, a few things: 1) Jitsi really, *really* wants its own server name. So you want to spin up a server like "meet.tricolour.ca" and not try to do it in a subdirectory like "www.tricolour.ca/jitsi" 2) Read this LWN article and follow the link where he talks about misconfiguration in Debian's default setup: https://lwn.net/Articles/815751/ 3) Keep yourself sane and install in Debian or Ubuntu.

Re: [linux] what are people using as opposed to zoom for videoconferencing?
I've used the "old" hangouts for meetings, but it is limited to 10 for the free version, and in our Stittsville Creative Writers Group we've found some people have difficulty connecting. Linux-Ottawa AGM is possibly going ahead using Big Blue Button. I'll let Scott announce that when he's ready. Thanks to Robert for starting a thread that could be very helpful. And I hope folk will share information e.g., about Jitsi trials. JN On 2020-04-02 8:39 a.m., Robert P. J.

Re: [linux] what are people using as opposed to zoom for videoconferencing?
There isn't a whole lot out there for Linux that is Enterprise grade. I've used both Skype and Webex and at both had relatively big issues in Linux. Not sure if they are resolved now that was about 2 years ago. We use Zoom corporately and have been very happy with it - we've raised bugs and they get fixed quickly. They seem serious about keeping the Linux client current which is huge for us. We've asked for a formal statement on these recent findings and unfortunately I can't share anything that comes back but based on our history with them I remain optimistic I do like the looks of that Jitsi / Jitsu on-premise solution though. When this pandemic started I raised this as a potential issue that with everyone going to the Zooms and Skypes of the world en-masse, that their infrastructure may collapse. So far that hasn't happened but wait until all the schools in the world are doing virtual classrooms - which may be starting in a couple of weeks. I'd like to have our own in-house solution on the ready just in case. I may toss that one at a coop student to play with ...
