Fig Leaf with almost ripe fig.

Did you ever wonder why they used a fig leaf in the bible? I used to wonder that. I don’t wonder about that any .more.

Middle of the night on the wrt54g from the iPad.

So far nobody’s too upset at being on the Cisco/linksys router. Got a Netgear AC1750 on order from Amazon for $89, compare to $134 at the local Walmart. And that the heck why not have a free month of Amazon prime so it’ll be here Monday …

asus q200e laptop directly plugged into the hose, no router, real internet address. I suspect that the bottleneck now is either the built in ethernet on this laptop or the substandard cable i’m using, or both.

this one was directly connected to the wrt54g using nextlight servers. Odd, most of the other tests ive done had about the same up and down. This is the fastest Ive seen so far through this equipment.

New Nextlight Municipal fiber broadband in Longmont, wIred connection to crappy old wrt54g linksys using crappy old CAT5 cables. Apparentlhy there’s a CAT5E that’s better, i’ll be checking. This speed is limited by the router.

Thought i’d posted a bunch of other results that showed me how crappy the wifi on the linksys is when you have a big hose. I was getting speeds of 1-6 Mb/s wireless from that. The Comcast/cablemodem was at least delivering about 24 mb/s wirelessly.

So I’m looking for a new gigabit modem. it looks like i can easily spend $300 on one of these thing. What are the must have features?

this time from a laptop running ubuntu using the web client for speedtest.net, wifi on comcast via cable modem. Note that when i use xfinity server, i get a little faster, or so i’m supposed to think.

Newly installed Nextlightl Longmont municipal fiber service, using a crappy old wrt54g router and a CAT5 patch cable from the junk drawer. So much for using old stuff you stashed in a drawer.

Apparently CAT5E is a thing and I have to use that. To the store I’ll go. Thinking of a netgear or linksys , I forget, model Ac1760. Walmart price seemed to be comparable to new Amazon prices.
