I create software for fun and profit. I'm an amateur urban designer (i.e. I play City Skylines and follow Strong Towns). I live in Dallas, and truly love my city. I like to read history and science fiction. I do my best to follow the teachings and example of Jesus. I once made a web based HyperCard clone.

@rk Found it! I went searching for this a while back, and had a hard time finding a copy that also had the images. I finally found one in some weird IBM book format. I was able to “print" it to a PDF. Here you go:

@pabloniusmonk no mesh, I’ve got an Archer BE9300 WiFi router, and I have another wireless access point wired in at the other end of the house.

There was some config work I had to do to the AT&T thing to make it just pass through. I forget what I did. I did a lot of Reddit searches to figure it out.

@pabloniusmonk yeah, that’s no good.

FWIW, we have AT&T Fiber 1G service. I just use their “gateway” box as a pass through. I have my own router and access points. I just tested the speed to my phone: 630Mbps.

@rk I have a pdf of it somewhere. I’ll try to dig it up and share it.

What company do you use for your home internet service?

We're just about fed up with AT&T Fiber.

@pabloniusmonk I’ve had AT&T Fiber for about a year now, and I’ve been satisfied with it. I switched from spectrum who charged more for worse service.

What’s been your issue?

@swelljoe yeah, Spectrum’s not great. I was able to get AT&T fiber last year (finally), and that’s been much better (cheaper too). Sonic still sounds like a better deal (if real)
@swelljoe I got something in the mail from them recently. It sounds like a great service that doesn’t exist yet (in Dallas). They’re very cagey about timelines, just that they’re coming “soon”.
