What speeds were you getting from your router before you got the google devices, and what speed do you get from the google devices.
I know I can do it myself. I can do it in the ISP app. The google dude advised not to because of some other stuff that would need to change, that the ISP would likely need to do. He seemed pretty knowledgeable. It is way over my head. I'm not sure why calling Google support is a bad thing. You told me I needed to switch the google devices to AP mode, which was not an option in the google home app. So I called them to figure out how to change it. Do you disagree with the google support guy's statement that I need to switch my modem/router to bridge mode? If not, it sounds like it was a worthwhile call.
Here is a speed test that I ran in the Google app a couple of nights ago. Honestly don't remember what I was getting previously, but it was a struggle to have multiple devices streaming simultaneously.
Oh, I don't trust what the google home app says at all. It said I was getting 800+ down the other night, but my Ookla test was saying half that. Even now it says 870 down while Ookla says 367.
P No, I told you you needed to bridge them early on. And what I said, specifically regarding your device was: "modem, so you'll need to go into your Google mesh and set it up as AP mode, and not routing mode... or some such variant." See the some such variant part you missed because you can't read?
4K streaming takes about 25Mbps. So if you’re pulling down 367 Mbps, you should be able to have 10+ devices streaming 4K content with room to spare. You wanting to multicast Pornhub or something?
It does but it works differently, `/all` isn’t a valid command on MacOS. Mac more commonly uses `ifconfig`
Another thing you should do is go in to all your devices and choose to forget the old SSID for your old router, that way the devices aren't trying to switch between the old and new and cause intermittent usage issues.
What if you just ran ipconfig, kind of like just running ifconfig. You can get crazy with ifconfg, but if I remember right, you can also just run ifconfig with no options.
Running `ipconfig` stand-alone doesn’t do anything, just [itch bay]es about needing <command> <args>. `ifconfig` solo works just fine, but a lot to filter through manually without being used to it. Just have to look for en0 and its associated `inet`
I came back and asked if AP mode stood for “access point” and got no response. If I don’t know what AP mode means, how on earth would I know what “some such variant” would look like? I want to say you’re a [uck fay]ing clown, but then I think “well, he is trying to help you, isn’t he?” And I start to feel a little bad. But you’re not, and even if you are, you are more so trying to shit on me.
Nope. I don’t know why my phone struggles upstairs if I’m getting 100+ down. Or why the laptop struggles to stream. Or why Hulu struggles to stream on the TV. But they do, so I’d like to fix it.
