Any slot, like a dollar bill would cause, can act as the element of an antenna. Horizontal slots will admit vertically polarized signals. From: Adam Moffett Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2023 7:47 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] RF Cage for WIFI A microwave

The advertised 2Gx100mb that's delivering 2.4Gx230mb is $100/month guaranteed for 2 years. No Contract, no Taxes. Free modem, no Data cap. Only Limit I've found so far is I tired to setup an EoIP Tunnel over it. The tunnel came up, but I can only get about 7mb/s through it. UDP Test shows

Yep, that is a decent promo. If you average over 1tb a month it's really hard to justify bringing your own modem to Comcast now. On Tue, Feb 28, 2023 at 8:34 AM Nate Burke wrote: > It's actually cheaper. $0 monthly cost for their modem, and unlimited > data for 2 years. Then it goes to

It's actually cheaper. $0 monthly cost for their modem, and unlimited data for 2 years. Then it goes to $25/month. Unlimited data is $35/month. On 2/28/2023 8:21 AM, Joe Novak wrote: In mid-split areas you will be downgraded to 100mbit upload if you move to your modem right now. Plus, they

In mid-split areas you will be downgraded to 100mbit upload if you move to your modem right now. Plus, they make modem rental + unlimited data the same price as unlimited data... they are fully milking every bit of cash they can get from a customer. They are basically rolling out higher

There is no turning it off anymore, it's a hidden SSID that forever broadcasts. I'm fairly sure it's for techs to do diagnostics from the company phone. The modem is in the new 'mid split' area, there is a huge thread tracking it on dslreports. On Mon, Feb 27, 2023 at 7:10 PM Nate Burke wrote:

Three items that come to mind... If they have external antennas remove them and replace them with 50 ohm terminators appropriate for the connectors. Or, wrap in copper mesh, leaving no holes. Foil would also work but then you have heating issues. I'd ground it to the shield on the coax

Why do you care? If the ssids are disabled and nothing is connected, the wifi beacons aren't interfering much with your own WiFi network. On Mon, Feb 27, 2023, 7:09 PM Nate Burke wrote: > I've got a Comcast residential Modem that I can't get the RF turned off > in. I haven't been able to find
