i bought a thing that said in the title it would cut my wifi signal strength 90%, it cut my wifi signal strength 90%, i hate it this is awful!

also i assume they used an emf meter to confirm it "keeps radiation in" because this person definitely has an emf meter already

I feel like selling to 5Gphobes would be more lucrative than audiophiles but that the audiophiles would be less likely to show up on your front lawn with an AK screaming about your complicity with the ZOG so it's not as clear-cut as mere marginal analysis might indicate?

nah audiophiles have way more money since it's a weird stupid kinda-pathological hobby for rich people, whereas 5G stuff is a brain disease gifted by alex jones on mostly the middle class and lower

like if those boxes were sold to audiophiles they would be gold-plated and priced at $1500 for the small one

we have some mikrotiks at the office and they're decent. they have a lot of flexibility and handle routing well enough. we haven't had any issues with updates breaking anything in the past few years, either.

we were using one of them to do a site-to-site VPN connection to our AWS VPC, but the mikrotik firmware only supports one IPsec tunnel for a VPN, and not 2 that AWS wants you to have (for faster failover), so we got constant "YOU ONLY HAVE ONE ACTIVE LINK TO THE AWS GATEWAY" emails.

we got a dedicated appliance for that, so now the mikrotiks are just used purely for routing, and they've been nice.

i got the hAp ac2, afaik they all have the same basic software though, so it is a matter of what you want on the port/antenna/performance level.

i'm an absolute idiot about networking, but i really like it in that the basic setup was trivial and works well, and doing semi-complex things like e.g. setting up (the internal dns to) dns over https was very googleable and doable. a lot of what would be idiot-proofed in most consumer routers takes an additional step or two to figure out, but i all-around appreciate the level it operates at. things absolutely can be figured out and done if you want.

i have the hAP ac and it's great. i use the sfp port for my fibre ONT and the router reliably does 940Mbps/940Mbps over the wan

the only issue i've ever had with them is hardware offload for VPN. they are dire without it, and support for any given encryption method is all over the place, so unless you're buying both ends at the same time, it's hit or miss if they'll both support what you want to use in hardware

yeah, luckily we never ran into it. i think some of the newer boards have pretty much complete support for hardware offload of encryption, but it also depends what CPU type board you go with.

I recently purchased this item to reduce my EMF exposure. I had a EMF specialist come to my home to take readings to help improve my quality of life and try to reduce my overall exposure within my home. I'm ultra sensitive to EMF's due to chronic Lyme and a compromised immune system. He validated that the router guard had no impact at all. Save your money and do not purchase this product. IT DOES NOT WORK.

ive been using unifi for a few years and it's ultimately a pita dealing with all the dashboard bullshit if you don't actually have an entire building worth of equipment to manage. there's constant fiddling to keep things running, and finding out basic poo poo like "whats eating all the b/w" is surprisingly hard to accomplish, afaict you just gotta go to the full client list and find the one with a big number. meanwhile i've had a mikrotik dish for the last few months for leeching wifi from the building across the street as a backup connection thats been set-and-forget stable. so if you like wasting your home life constantly logging into dashboards then get unifi i guess

unifi are supposed to be EOLing my UAP-PROs in a couple months and i'm planning on just gradually migrating things over to mikrotik from that point onwards. im expecting the usg-pro-4 will expire next since it was a POS to begin with: the fans are loud and aren't temp controlled, and the internal power supply is a regular external brick that's just been wedged inside the case (i discovered this in the process of swapping out the fans with noctuas)
