It’s no surprise that a device using a proprietary technology based in the 5GHz ISM band doesn’t play nice with 802.11. The thing that is surprising though, is how unfriendly it really is.

The second half of June is going to be rough for my family, my job, and my sleep patterns… but it’s going to be awesome.

Everyone in IT knows basic password security and we’ve all seen this comic over on xkcd. Hell, most have probably showed it to a user to give them an understanding of how to protect their digital personas.

I’ve decided to start a new video series focusing on all things tech. Each one will be just a couple minutes long and go over a single topic. There are already a few in the works going over IPv4 vs. IPv6 and the importance of migration, wireless fundamentals, how hypervisors work, and more! If there is anything specific you’d like to see covered, maybe you want to learn more, maybe you want someone else to learn it, just leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do. My hope is to have a new video a week, maybe more for special topics.
