    I dunno when it became the norm to say the WiFi’s down when it’s actually totally fine and unrelated to the internet connection being down.

    People at my work have said this even though they’re using docks plugged with Cat 5.

      Non-technical people don’t have any idea what a LAN is, and can’t imagine any reason for WiFi to exist other than to get their device on the Internet.

      So WiFi becomes a synonym for “Internet connection”, perfectly interchangeably.

      First of all, fuck Rogers with a rusty statue of a cactus, and second, fuck them again.

      I don’t understand how a company that big can be that bad at uptime. I moved to Teksavvy years ago and haven’t had any outages since. I refuse to do direct business with any of the big three.

        No, v1.2 is the higher version. The full name is “hamster gen 3 maxpro v1.2”

        v1.18 was the final version of “hamster gen 3 maxpro first edition.”

          I was gonna say that the hamster is too new and the router can’t parse minor versions with two digits in it, but I like your answer better.

          The actual solution is to flash it with OpenWRT
