<div dir="ltr"><div>I have it. My Toshiba laptop wireless sucks. I have a 50 mbps pipe from Comcast. Both of my Dellls can hit it with ease. The Toshiba is only 12 - 15 mbps. Bought the Ethernet over wired and am getting real close to 50. I was in a two story when I bought it, now in a ranch. Both the with and without results are pretty much the same as the two story. I have XzLel if this helps.<br><br></div>Steve<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 25, 2016 at 10:46 PM, Alex Carver <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:agcarver+ale@acarver.net" target="_blank">agcarver+ale@acarver.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">No can drink beer so no beer fridge for me (although the regular<br>

The BBQ and smoker would get real controllers so I can write temperature<br>
profiles for cooking/smoking every type of meat. Because meat. And<br>
better than meat is automatic meat.<br>
<br>
The washer and dryer I put on because I was lazy and didn't want to run<br>
to the garage to check when the cycles were done (it sends a broadcast<br>
Growl GNTP message out to my computers and my phone).<br>
<br>
The attic controls the fan and an inside vent so I can open up and draw<br>
in cool night air and close it up when the temperature outside warms up.<br>
I'm working on slave units that will run the windows and sliding doors.<br>
