Accomplished absolutely nothing on my todo list from this morning. Productive day though.

Picked up trim paint and supplies from sherwin Williams. Electric hedge trimmers from HF. Visited sister and her husband for an hour or so, dog park, grilled brats, Italian sausage and a bunch of peppers. Hit up Menards for flowers and some misc crap.

Popped positive for Covid but feels like a nasty head cold

Well, Memorial Day weekend is down the shitter
Fiancé had it all week, just started getting over it yesterday. I took a test yesterday and showed negative. Had the whole week off of work to quarantine and work around the house. No complaints.

Hope it passes quick man!

Found this old Stanley No 6 plane at a garage sale down the street for $8. Looks like they’re going for $60-100 on eBay. Prob just hanging onto it.

So weeks ago I asked about setting up my router extention thing.

I set everything up just same as the house, same ssid same password, same exact everything. Anytime I walked near the garage I'd lose wifi. I'd select the 1 and only available deezulranch. It would password is incorrect.

I'd go in the house, have to click on deezulranch, all good. Wifi connected.

So I renamed and re password the router extender, it works absolutely fucking perfect, sometimes when I'm in the house I may have to select the deezulranch that's 10 feet from me cause it's still connected to the one outside (250+ft).

But shit works amazing.

Nice.

For the second part, there should be an option in the extender for "minimum RSSI /DBm", if there is, set it to -80dbm

Basically its a setting that says " if signal strength gets this low, kick client off " so it wouldnt try to hold onto the connection til the farthest it can, it'll drop it when you get low enough and then it'll switch over to the house cause it will be a stronger signal.

Right now there is nothing telling the extender when to boot the client, so if the client still has some sort of connection, it'll try to stay connected.

FYI:

Generally,
dBm >= -50 dBm = 100% quality
dBm <= -100 dBm = 0% quality

For RSSI signal between -50dBm and -100dBm,
quality ~= 2* (dBm + 100)
RSSI ~= (percentage / 2) - 100

For example:
High quality: 90% ~= -55dBm
Medium quality: 50% ~= -75dBm
Low quality: 30% ~= -85dBm
Unusable quality: 8% ~= -96dBm
