Since my rated 50 Mbps service (Cox) just measured at 63 Mbps at 40 ft from the router on this T100 tablet I don't think I have a noise problem. So why look for a solution to a nonexistent problem? BTW I do use the Android app Wifi Analyzer to see what channel my neighbor is so I can stay off it. Probably helps the speed a bit.

Hammers I do have devices with ethernet ports so don't need any wrenches. But if I didn't I'd probably get a micro USB ethernet adapter.

I don't look in his windows either.

If everyone had that attitude, nobody would learn anything. > If the noise is "all over the band" changing channels won't help. You interpreted that differently than I had meant it. In a way, you are correct though, in that I was previously on 2.4GHz, which has noise in lots of places - so now I'm on 5GHz Internet and things are much quieter. > Since my rated 50 Mbps service (Cox) just measured at 63 Mbps at 40 ft > from the router on this T100 tablet I don't think I have a noise > problem. So why look for a solution to a nonexistent problem? Your Internet comes in on a cable. Mine comes over the air, from about 10 miles away. So, with a 20-mile round trip just to connect to my access point, you can imagine that signal-to-noise ratio starts becoming important. > BTW I do use the Android app Wifi Analyzer to see what channel my > neighbor is so I can stay off it. Probably helps the speed a bit. Yes. WiFi Analyzer is great. We're lucky we're on Android because we have access to so many great *graphical* tools that the iOS guys would die to have access to. We have WiFi Analyzer, InSSIDer, WiFi SNR, Fritz WLan, GTech Net Tools, etc., all of which are worlds better than what those poor iOS folks have access to. > But since that one app worked I didn't go looking for more solutions. > That would be a waste of time. I have *many* WiFi solutions, including sniffer tools such as wardriving tools and net stumblers. Each one shows additional data in different ways. It's like having more than one screwdriver in your toolbox. > A tech guy like you doesn't have a laptop with an ethernet port?? Sure. But the phone is more convenient. > Probably a good idea to reset anyway if the neighbor originally set it up. It's amazing how many people don't know the first thing about their routers. Mostly I find them to be the Apple folks - but some Android people fall into that category too.

Your worry over the death of the iOS guys is greatly exaggerated. I just checked the Apple App Store. There are several graphical analyzers that are equivalent to my Android WiFi Analyzer. Some even list the devices connected to the network. > It's amazing how many people don't know the first thing about their > routers. Yup. And that knowledge is very important when one gets locked out of his house and needs to adjust the router inside, or doesn't have an ethernet cable, or doesn't have a device with an ethernet port handy, or couldn't physically access the router, or needs to peek into his neighbor's router. My-o-my, what a life you must lead... 8-O

I already know you cannot list a single native linux tool that does this because people who know far more than you and I about linux networking have concluded the same thing. >> Which is odd. >> But it is a fact. > > it is not. I'm gonna be blunt with you. There are no native tools on Linux which list this information. That has already been shown in the thread I pointed to, which had tons of gory detail. For you to say what you say, without a single 'character' of detail, just show your total lack of character.

I have to give you credit if you actually read the thread.
But you never summarize correctly.
Sure, I tried everything suggested, but I didn't write my own software and
compile it, so, um, yeah, just like you telling me to run iTunes on Linux,
sure, you can say I didn't try everything that was suggested.
But I did try:
$ sudo arp-scan --interface=wlan0 --localnet
$ sudo netdiscover -i wlan0 -r 192.168.1.0/24
$ sudo nmap --script broadcast-dhcp-discover -p67 192.168.1.0/24
$ sudo fing -n 192.168.1.0/24 -r 1
These failed to report *all* devices (hence they're useless):
$ sudo netdiscover -i wlan0 -r 192.168.1.0/24
$ sudo arp-scan --interface=wlan0 --localnet
$ fping -a -c 1 -q -g 192.168.1.0/24
$ sudo nmap --script broadcast-dhcp-discover -p67 192.168.1.0/24
etc.
I even tried:
$ myscan.sh
+ sudo arp-scan --interface=wlan0 --localnet
Where myscan.sh was the following...

I think that the laptops that run Windows are such cheap shit overall that a MacBook just *looks* overpriced because you're used to paying $300 for a cheap box. I know this, I've had lots of cheap Windows boxes that Windows was removed from in favor of linux. The Dell XPS-13 that I'm running right now, writing this post from, cost $1649 out the door. It's hardware is about equivalent to a MacBook Air 13-inch with i7 and 256G SSD except it has backlit keyboard and 3200x1800 pixels and is the size of a MacBook 12" though it has touchscreen and the MacBook doesn't; the MacBook Air configured as close as possible to equivalency costs $1199. You're probably used to buying something like my Acer Aspire E3-111-P60S which is a decent laptop for $300 if you add a nice SSD. But it's built cheap and won't last long. I know that from having used up several of them. Cheap is in the eye of the beholder. I can do *everything* that I need to do on an ancient Acer too old to have bluetooth that only runs 32bit code and cost $80 used. > > Plus, Apple makes decisions I would never make Yes, me too, but they are them and they have their reasons and I expect most of those have $$$$ attached to them. > - so I'm fine with Kubuntu > or Windows XP.

In that I think you are very mistaken. Install linux on an ASUS T100 and you have the best of both worlds. Just no backlit keyboard, and their UEFI Firmware seems a bit broken, but you can run linux on it and it does fine in the speed department with a surprisingly bright clear screen.

Nothing. Most of the iOS users I've had actual contact with have been inside the local Apple store and they seemed a lot better at the smiling-sales-patter than at technical know-how; not that going to Best-Buy is any different except the clerks at BB might be more willing to admit ignorance. > > They're mostly like the people who post on the iOS newsgroups, of which > there are only three types.

Maybe, but I doubt it, for $300 laptops, but I have no such experience with $500-$600 laptops, which still are half price or less of a MacBook. My two laptops is this price range each lasted 7 to 8 years and were mostly obsoleted by having to little memory/storage, not by breaking down. And these laptops, were schlepped all over, including in 4WDs on thousands of Ks of very rocky roads. But, as usual, YMMV and probably YMWV. [...]

It's not about specs, but about quality (as described in the part you snipped). And I was wrong, it's 1/4 to 1/5 of the price. And yes, at 4 - 5 times the price, you get 'better' specs (better display and less storage, but SSD), fancy *that*! So get a grip/clue/life, Apple products are *only* very high end and in that niche, they may or may not offer equal/better value for money. Big fsck-ing deal! Question: Why do you care about products for which Apple has no comparible-price solution?

Perhaps not so much a better value as a better experience. Apple products are easier to use and just work (IMO). In the past, Windows updates have broken software parts of several of my devices. For example one update to an HP laptop reversed the brightness control. I never found a solution. No big deal but still annoying. Currently the W10 update is breaking millions of cameras. In all the years of updates to the wife's Apple devices there has been nary a glitch. They just worked. (BTW in recent years I've turned Windows Update off right after buying a new device so that it continues to work as designed. I'd rather take my chances with the boogeyman than Windows.) After the first few months there were never any upgrades offered on my last 2 Android phones. The wife's phone (and iPads) have been kept up to date. So the premium is worth it to me if just for marital contentment. That we endlessly argue Android vs. Apple here as religions just makes the place more interesting. Again IMO of course...

That > we endlessly argue Android vs. Apple here as religions just makes the > place more interesting. Again IMO of course... For me, the premium (of having to buy a very high end device) is not worth it, also because it would take an immense amount of time to figure out which software is suitable and comparable (or 'better') to my current software, learning to use it, configuring it, etc., etc.. But that's just *my* situation, for others their MMV and probably their MWV.
