![]() ![]() Find your router in the list, and click on it.ģ. This is a good tactic, but with inSSIDer, you can measure whether moving your router made a difference or not.Ģ. Every online guide about WiFi ever written says, "move your access point to a better spot!" to fix coverage problems. For more details about security, check out the inSSIDer 4 User Guide.ĭead spots can be very frustrating, and they are one of the most common pain points in WiFi, especially at home. This icon indicates that the selected network has a poor or broken form of security. It lists the type of security in use, but also provides a "lock" icon to show whether the network is open, secure, or using a broken form of security. There are lots of different types of security that you can use on your wireless network, and inSSIDer detects that for you. InSSIDer has tools built-in to evaluate your environment, and pick the best channel for you. This network is on a much better channel, even if it shares with a lot of other networks on channel 6. Sharing a channel is always better than partially overlapping. This access point (in blue) is on a bad channel, because it partially overlaps with a lot of other networks (all colored red). One of the most common uses of a WiFi scanner is to make sure that your router or AP is using the best channel. InSSIDer visualizes what channel each WiFi channel is on, to see how they share channels, and how they partially overlap. If you know what is happening in your wireless environment, you can use that data to fix problems, or just improve the performance of your network. It also visualizes which channel each wireless network is on. ![]() It lists out all of the networks that are nearby, as well as some information about them. If everybody pushed back and rejected the abuse, they would eventually stop doing it.A WiFi scanner uses your computer's WiFi adapter to scan for wireless networks. Get a phone and you have to root it to get rid of this "google play" crap completely, and then it's extra steps to find/hack/fix programs so they're not aren't ad infested and not funneled through their "store". Same with Apple, Microsoft, and even Google. Then when that monopoly happens, small/subtle changes to make it worse can happen without consequence and we all suffer as a result.įacebook in it's present form would have never existed if people did a modicum of research and realize the motifs and direction that company is going. They get most people by them being off guard saying "oh, I just use it for this/that", or "I don't care if they track or sell my data to someone because I have nothing to hide", "you worry too much", then after a while, the rest of us can't even find a legitimate alternative without being partially isolated from society. The reason is that the companies build up to a status quo where using their services is expected among society which are designed to be abusive. People should care about what they buy, and what the motifs of the companies are. I'm arguing in favor of you/me and everybody who buys stuff from corporate giants who push these things on it. Some people just don't like it, it's just Apple's way or the highway But your statement of "If I forced you to use nothing but blah blah blah /#facts (pretty sure you’re genZ)?" is just false. I've given them all a fair chance, and I see the appeal. ![]() At least with Android there are smaller options available. Plus using the iPhone just feels like I'm using a kid's toy, it is just so weird and filled with nebulous gestures, and even just typing a text message is such a chore. My android phone feels way snappier than my iPhone, and the iPhone always gives me bullshit popups when I barely have anything on it. Plus for my servers.Apple is just not an option period. It doesn't have any of Microsoft's bullshit, but it just substitutes that for Apple's bullshit. MacOS is just.okay? The GUI file management is just wonky, and the touchpad is annoying for dragging things. My laptop runs a super light linux distro that only does exactly what I tell it to do when I want it to do it, which is exactly what I want on the go when speed is important. Apple doesn't make high refresh rate monitors, which to me is better than the barely noticeable difference in the color accuracy on their displays. My Windows computer will run circles around any Apple computer that exists, at roughly half the price. ![]() My mom had Macs growing up and that's what I used. I've had iPod touches when those were still a thing. I've had iPhones before, I think I had a 4 and a 5. And then at my next job I got an iPhone (again, because I have to support it) X.S? It's an X something. I mean, through work I needed a Mac as my main computer (working in IT, I had to be able to support it). ![]()
