  • I’m not saying this is the ideal solution, but I’ve had decent performance from the house to a shed 60 feet away using Asus ZenWifi AX XT8 nodes in the house (with one in the window at the back of the house) and an Asus RT-AX56U extender in the shed. Most days I get decent speeds, good enough to use for work and watching videos. Very occasionally there’s a bad day. I originally tried with the dual-band Asus ZenWifi AX Mini cubes, but they were not powerful enough. Their bigger tri-band units work better.

    There are probably better solutions though, using directional dishes. I just did this because, like you, I didn’t want to have to mess with holes for ethernet cables, mounting dishes to poles, etc.

    Oh, and I once had bad signal so I put the unit at the back of the house at what would roughly be the focal point of a large metal kitchen bowl and pointed the bowl at the shed, and the signal improved dramatically

    The Asus boxes are overpriced when new, but you can get them for cheap used.












  • That’s such a feeble criticism: a socialist, living in a capitalist society where everything costs money, needs money to do things, therefore they’re not really a socialist. There’s no logic to that. Why would anyone imagine that a socialist doesn’t need money to do things in a capitalist society? Is he a fraud because he hasn’t transformed New York into a moneyless society since yesterday (despite not even being sworn in yet)? When did he promise to do that, or is it just right wingers having no clue what socialism is again?

  • Air India has offered an interim compensation payment to Mr Ramesh of £21,500, which has been accepted, but his advisers say this is not enough to meet his immediate needs.

    The family fishing business in Diu in India, which Mr Ramesh ran with his brother before the crash, has since collasped, his advisers said.

    Spokesman for the family Mr Seiger said they had invited Air India for a meeting on three occasions, and all three were either “ignored or turned down”.

    The media interviews were the team’s way of reissuing that appeal for the fourth time, he said.

    Mr Seiger added: "It’s appalling that we are having to sit here today and putting him [Viswashkumar] through this.

    "The people who should be sitting here today are the executives of Air India, the people responsible for trying to put things right.

    “Please come and sit down with us so that we can work through this together to try and alleviate some of this suffering.”

    Poor guy. It sounds like he’s really struggling. Air India needs to do right by him and pay him enough for some good mental and physical care. The amount they have paid him isn’t nearly enough, as he could have lifelong problems from the crash.
