First off I love my parents but when it comes to tech they annoy me so much. For example I've just wired a new router and switch across the house so I can have my own personal WiFi and Ethernet in my room as the modem we have is across the house from where the pc is, while my mum saw me do this she decide to ask if she can have the same thing, my response was why, a very natural response. My mum replied with so I can have my own personal WiFi and Ethernet, I continues to explain that there was no need as you computer in your study is already on Ethernet and you have the Broadband Supplier Modem/Router to use as I will be using my own. My mum was confused by this and said but she will have to use mine to get good signal on WiFi as I'm moving the access point, I then went into the complicated stuff stating there will be 2 access points in the house, one wont be just shut off if I add another access point to it. After a few minutes my mum decides to stop asking questions and went away, unbeknownst to me she decided to order a new switch and new router as she thought that it was the best thing for her to do, even though the original modem/router is in the other room from her bedroom and study and that her computers and TV devices are already connected by Ethernet.
I now have a switch and modem sat in a cupboard doing nothing, I love my parents.
Does anyone else get this?
