Maybe this is too nerdy for this group. I got an OpenWRT ONE router, replaced the old TP-Link one I had. The bad press got to me. The new one is fast, I could not believe how much faster things like downloading files is now.

The worst part was that I had picked out a complicated password with lots of punctuation, and typing that on phones and on-screen keyboards for TVs and game consoles was painful.

Also I pinged Google, and got an IPv6 response for the first time.

    too nerdy for this group

    My GL.iNet OpenWRT arrives tomorrow to replace the TP-Link I’m currently using. I guess that answers the question about whether I belong in this club.

    I’m not sure it can be considered dull if half the people here got an erection reading"OpenWRT".
    Or am I just speaking for myself?

        Can confirm, in my head op’s post meant : “I replaced some old appliance with something quite standard that won’t bother me for years”. The fizzing is just replaced with the warmth of undisturbed uptime after about 4-5 years
