Re: [NF] Are they watching you?
/TDS Telecom/ Wow I didn't know their reach extended that far! /Deco/ I saw that one too as a possibility. It looks like for real decent coverage of a 3,000 sq ft home it's going to be necessary to invest 2-3 hundred in a good mesh system. The weird thing about my current router is that it's been working well for a long time, and then it factory reset on its own. I restored the configuration, and then it reset again. The only difference is that I plugged a new receiver into the same power strip. I wonder if the power might have dropped below a certain level so it reset? Does that make sense? Maybe I'll try a different circuit. Eric On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 2:14 PM Ted Roche wrote: > On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 2:05 PM Eric Selje wrote: > > > Who's your ISP?? > > > > TDS Telecom.

Re: [NF] Are they watching you?
I put a three station Deco mesh setup in at home a few months back. It uses powerline networking for the 'backhaul' comms between the stations. Wifi coverage is absolutely no longer an issue, lovely strong dual band everywhere. The system also has pretty good built in content filtering, you can apportion bandwith to devices, prioritise certain types of traffic etc. Expensive but would recommend. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm On Tue, 21 Jul 2020, at 6:35 PM, Ted Roche wrote: > On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 9:17 AM Eric Selje wrote: > > > I am thinking about getting a new wi-fi router and a few folks are praising > > the Google WiFi system. > > > I'm sure you can trust Google. ;) > > Mesh networking is the way to go, say the goo-roos. eero also gets good > reviews. > > https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-wi-fi-mesh-networking-kits/ > > My home iSP, based out of beautiful downtown Madison, Wisconsin of all > places, offers an eero mesh setup as their "WiFi+" option. > > That said, it's usually better to buy your own and set it up , so you can > do all the support yourself. > > > > No thanks, not even if they were giving the > > devices away (like they do now with Google Homes). > > > > Yeah, that's a pretty clever "first hit's free" marketing scheme.

Re: [NF] Are they watching you?
I am thinking about getting a new wi-fi router and a few folks are praising the Google WiFi system. Their website specifically says they don't collect data except telemetrics as needed to improve performance or somesuch. There's *no way* I believe that's true. They're upset that I'm using FireFox and DuckDuckGo so the only way they can see what I'm doing is by becoming my wifi provider too. No thanks, not even if they were giving the devices away (like they do now with Google Homes).

[NF] Vista is Watching you
A very interesting article on the number of services in Vista which collect and transmit data back to Microsoft. Another good reason not to use the O/S I think. Are you using Windows Vista?

But could Microsoft turn the data it has collected against you? Of course, what did you think?
