    i'm probably way behind on this one, i don't know how many years ago it was released...but the World War II series is incredible, primarily because the footage is absolutely astounding! 😮 we ended up watching sort of in preparation for a WWII site-seeing trip to Germany and France we've got planned with my dad in a few months. i have never seen footage this extensive, plus they colorized a lot of it, so it's just mind-blowing. i'm legit shocked that this much footage even exists!

    anyways...it's really, really good.

    I couldn’t find a car audio thread, but here’s a teaser of what just happened

    What's going on here.  I never understood where to put a bunch of speakers in a truck.

    Blackjack are a great pair of boots. My sueded hippo’s from them have that same upper inlay, just 17” and baby blue

    I would like to see these baby blue hippo boots please.  That's an exotic I never imagined.

  4. Shingles.  Fuck that.  My dad RIP got shingles inside his eyeball.  Yeah, he had shingles on his retina.  It was awefull. He had this schedule of something like 14 eye drops a day, 4 or 5 different types of drops. I would have probably killed myself if that was me.  

     

    I'm 45 and I had chicken pox when I was a kid like everyone else.  Does the shingles vacine actually work to prevent shingles?  How does that work?  I would rather not have to kill myself over eyeball shingles in my golden years.

  5. One of my favorite shows of all time.  It's really a show about father-son-brother releationships.  Texas country ethics thrown into European and Middle Eastern war politics through a Wes Anderson lens.  And great music.

    Wait a week. I took my ostrich to Austin Shoe Hospital. should have back next week, will tell you how they did.

    How did they do?

    One hypothesis; your AP's are close enough to each other than your clients are still connected to a single AP vs roaming to the nearest, because of signal overlap (and your AP's are broadcasting at higher transmit levels).  When you brought everything back on line, all of your devices attached to the first AP they saw, and the signal was strong enough there was no reason to roam to a different AP.

    In a multi AP environment (Cisco, Aruba or Meraki I'm familar with) the controller will turn down the power on the AP's automatically if they detect each other, minimizing the overlap.  

    Also, I have a similar setup at the house (just under 4000 sq, including the garage, all Meraki gear) with 4 access points (one upstairs, one at south end of home, one north end, and the last in the garage).  What I did on the 2.4 side only the three first floor AP's are broadcasting.(Channels 1, 6 and 11).   On the 5GHz side, I spaced the channels far enough from each other to eliminate the overlap, then further reduced the power on each.  By doing those two things, I'm forcing a device on the 2.4 side to attach to one of the 3 AP's--pick one, any one, but only one of the three.  On the 5GHz side, I turned down the power enough that a device on our first floor will barely connect, if at all, to the AP on the second floor.  

    This seams like a good answer and I will try this.  Unfortunately my controller is retarded.  

     

    I don't want to manually reset everything and reprogram the network again if the controller (cloud key) is going to keep borking.  (2 of my APs are on the ceiling and kind of PIA to reset).  Plus the risk of losing the whole network.  I guess I'll order a new one and then redo everything.

    Have you tried rebooting/restarting the Hall AP to see if clients switch over the the other 2 APs? 

    I tried that.  All clients stayed online throughout the restart.  They just moved out of the topography into "open space" and didn't attach to the other APs.  When the Hall AP came back on they all moved right back to it.  I don't know what it's doing, but I have fewer bars on my laptop now than before the reset.

     

    Also, my cloud key just lost it's marbles again.  I loaded a backup config that was confirmed good.  Now none of the devices are adopted.  Luckily the network is still up and all the wifis are working.  

     

    I think the cloud key is dying.  I don't understand this.  I had a 1st gen cloud key that died after 3 years and now this 2nd gen cloud key plus is dying after 2 years.  Why is solid state equipment in a ventilated rackmount closet fucking up so frequently?  Most of my stuff lasts a very long time because I oversize it and under utilize it.

    Safe to assume those other APs are closer in proximity to some of the devices than the one AP?

    Are all APs running updated firmware?

    Did you check the devices to verify they are going through that 1 AP? It's possible the topology ap is not correct.

     

     

    I have 3 APs.  One in the hallway that is in the middle of the house.  One in my office in the front of the house.  One in the living room at the back of the house.  

    Everything was working fine until my console (cloud key) lost it's marbles for some reason.  I had to reset the cloud key gen 2 gateway and all of the hardware and reconfigure everything yesterday.  Now the system sees all 3 APs, but devices only connect to one of them (hall AP in the middle.)

    The Unifi software is how I normally look at the network topogrophy.

    I can easily see which wifi network it's connected to (I have 4 wifi networks with different passwords, one for each family member so I can kill their wifi if I want to).  The client to wifi network is correct in the Unifi console topogrophy.  

    To the question above:

    How do you check inside the client to see which AP it is connected to?
