It’s a story as old as time. I moved into a new place with great fiber internet - but the modem is in the garage, my desktop PC is not, and the place is a rental so I have limited options for making modifications. The signal is not bad, but I’m getting dropouts.
Since the PC and router are fixed in place I thought maybe a directional antenna or two would help? 5GHz directional antennae are kinda scarce which makes me wonder if I’m on the wrong track. Does this new “beamforming” thing supersede directional antennae?
I have 802.11ax (a.k.a. Wi-Fi 6) on both sides of the connection. Maybe I could upgrade to Wi-Fi 6E and give 6GHz a go? Maybe that would be worse due to the intervening wall…

Pass?
Unfortunately, no. My lemmy client wasn’t able to comment due to my profile having multiple languages set. And also, I can’t view any of these comments on my profile.
Edit: I set my profile back to have both undetermined and English, and now I can see these comments, but now I can’t comment via voyager again.
