Louis Rossmann is moving to a new space, and it's a pretty big step for him. Even if Linus just goes to help paint, or if someone will sponsor a video and give him something to help out, I think that would be amazing. Video linked below in case you haven't watched it. I just did, and I felt kind of moved (no pun intended), so I hope LTT finds a way to lend a hand, even if it's a small gesture to get involved. He hasn't asked for help, I just think the guy deserves it. What do you all think?

Yeah, I agree that there are few things regarding site and service they should fix already. Like adding support info on the site and have FAQ on landing page to explain service in general and the status of development.

Similar to the Ossic X, but obtainable and not shut down.
(I wanted to search the forum to see if this was suggested before, but I can't find a search link anywhere...)

The Steam Input additions I think are noteworthy on the latest Steam Client Beta update.  Curious if it includes Rock Band/Guitar Hero controllers, but probably no Move-accessory support.

GW Security products (NVRs, cameras, etc).
 
Apparently they rebrand other cameras from China, all the software is Chinese, and one NVR (5532) was caught "phoning home" (as mentioned on their google forum linked at gwsecurityusa.com).  If you're interested, we just updated an amazon review of ours, and had quite the experience dealing with it all.  We used two different NVRs (3208EP, 5532N) and two different sets of PoE cameras (5180IP, 5437EIP).  Aside from our worries about the security of computers on the LAN attached to the unit, we're finally happy with it all.
 
With crime on Vancouver Island increasing over the recent years, and with consumer-accessible security cameras becoming better than what I've seen at retailers... I think it might make a good video.

If you guys want to talk about it, let me know.
 
EDIT: That didn't last long.  Problems again.  Will update later if possible.  Much disappoint.  Not happy.

In the USA, you pay taxes on prizes. In Canada you pay no taxes, even on Lottery prizes.

If you go the route of disabling DHCP and matching the wireless settings, you also need to remember to only use the LAN ports, never the WAN port, even for the link to the other router, and you need to change the WAP's IP address to be in the same subnet as the router's IP, but not different. So if the router is 192.168.1.1, you would set the WAP's LAN IP to be 192.168.1.2 (assuming that IP isn't already used by something else on your network)
 
EDIT: Doing it this way works with all routers and is my recommended setup if someone can't afford true APs

The subnet, defined by the IP address and subnet mask, is all the IP addresses that a computer will think are local, and will try to communicate with directly by MAC address, instead of sending the data to teh default gateway. Nearly all home routers use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, or /24 - you should always use the same subnet mask as the device that is running DHCP, even on static IP devices. For your WAPs the default gateway won't matter, since they will expect the default gateway to be on the WAN interface, which you won't be using at all.
 
Even though you may set the SSID and password the same between the different routers/APs, they each still have their own BSSID (Binary SSID) aka MAC address, which is used as part of the wireless broadcast. SO devices will see multiple wireless networks, but understand that they all are connected to the same network. Hopping between these is governed solely by the devices - the only issue is that some devices don't roam aggressively enough, meaning that as you walk around they house they will stay connected to their current AP even when another is now a much better option. cheaper/older Android phones are the main culprit I'm aware of with this issue, and this is an issue even on enterprise wireless systems.
 
watching a youtube video, even a live stream, actually has some amount of data buffer, so you would rarely notice. The place that usually has problems is VOIP calls (any type of live audio/video chat) - the only solutions to that are expensive and complicated - even in the enterprise wireless systems that I'm involved with, we don't use them. In a normal situation, during the handoff you will experience about a second of stutter, but the call shouldn't drop.
 
If you have devices that are very aggressive about roaming (the opposite of the problem I mentioned before) then at any place where the wireless signals are about equally strong you may experience movement back and forth. But most devices don't move to another signal unless it is fairly decently stronger. As for G and N conflicting, I'm not really aware of that being an issue, but in general you want all the wireless networks in a system to be of the same type.
 
At the location where you intend to place the new AP(s), the existing wireless signal should be mediocre (which I think you already have). If you use a tool like InSSIDer that gives you teh signal strength, then you should first hold your device next to the modem to see what it's baseline strength is (e.g.-27 RSSI) and then at the place were you are going to put the AP you would want an RSSI that is at least 20 lower (-47 in my example). Closer to 0 means stronger for RSSI, and when right on top of a wireless device somewhere between -35 and -15 is acceptable.
 
If that's too complicated, I'd estimate 15-20 feet minimum between them.
 
The modem will have no idea these devices exist, and anything that connects to them wirelessly will be seen as an ethernet client. An AP is just transcoding the data between Wifi format and Ethernet format, and they share the same MAC addresses. The AP that is built in to your modem is working the same way, just that it has a direct connection to the "router" portion of the device (your modem is really a modem, router, switch, and AP combined, and each of those functions are more or less separate systems all on the same board)
