    Yeah, totally agree with you on that. The Ryzen 5 8400F or similar AMD CPUs are definitely a safer bet right now, especially considering the instability issues some users have been facing with Intel’s 13th and 14th gen chips. On top of that, the heat output of those Intel CPUs—especially the...

    Feedback Needed: Raspberry Pi Pico W-Based Portable Medicine Reminder

    That’s awesome to hear! I really admire people who work with C—it gives you so much control and performance. I’ve been sticking with MicroPython for now since it’s a bit quicker for prototyping and easier to tweak on the go, but I definitely want to dive deeper into C once I’m more comfortable...

    Feedback Needed: Raspberry Pi Pico W-Based Portable Medicine Reminder

    Yeah, I’ve been playing around with the Pico(The one without the wifi module) for a while now and MicroPython has been my go-to—mainly because it’s easy to test and iterate quickly, especially for someone like me who’s still figuring things out. I haven’t dabbled in C/C++ much yet, but maybe...

    Feedback Needed: Raspberry Pi Pico W-Based Portable Medicine Reminder

    Thanks so much for the detailed response and for pointing me to the right section—I'll make sure to use Electronics & DIY Projects going forward.( Should I repost this thread in that section to attract the right kind of attention?) The CR2032 not being suitable for powering the Pico W was a...

    Feedback Needed: Raspberry Pi Pico W-Based Portable Medicine Reminder

    Hey folks, I’ve been planning a personal project with the Raspberry Pi Pico W to help with something important—building a reliable medicine reminder and notification device. This is especially crucial for me because I recently had a transplant, and keeping up with immunosuppressants and other...

    Guide Improving WiFi Stability with Too Many Networks

    Alright, fair enough. But seriously, if bridge mode doesn’t actually work, why leave the button there? Might as well label it “for decoration only.”

    Anora-8.5/10 Really enjoyed Anora (2024) IMDB – raw, emotional, and surprisingly tender. The story pulled me in, and the direction had that perfect mix of grit and intimacy.

    Guide Improving WiFi Stability with Too Many Networks

    Yes sir, actually since I have an Airtel ONT, I was curious whether Jio ONTs support bridge mode or not. So I guided my friend on how to access his router settings over Google Meet while he was sharing his screen. I saw it myself—bridge mode was easy to toggle on or off. I'll share a screenshot...

    Guide Improving WiFi Stability with Too Many Networks

    If you're asking about bridge mode on Jio, I mentioned that my friend's Jio ONT allows him to enable bridge mode and configure it directly on the device.

    Ah, that’s good to know. I’ll give the net@airtel.com route a shot then.Thanks for sharing! Man, I wish I knew this before calling them lol. The operator had no clue what I was even talking about. Definitely just mailing them next time. Turns out my friend has a JioFiber connection with the...

    then do most people who manage to get bridge mode working just go with local ISPs instead of Airtel/Jio?

    25-30k Any phone with SD 8s Gen3 under 30k

    Yeah, same here. I’ve also had bad experiences with Flipkart when it comes to exchange and delivery. Very unreliable and not transparent at all. Also you could wait for the IQOO Z9 Turbo,since iqoo phones are generally known for their perfomance.

    Guide Improving WiFi Stability with Too Many Networks

    Got it, thanks for the clarification! I’ll make sure to use a good quality Ethernet cable. Appreciate the help! Hey, do you know if Airtel customer care or their engineer easily agrees to set the default ONT (the one they provide) to bridge mode? Or is it a hassle to get them to do it? On my...

    5 inch android phones

    Finding compact smartphones from reputable brands has become increasingly challenging, as the market trend leans towards larger displays. The Google Pixel 4a, with its 5.8-inch screen, was one of the last great small phones from a trusted brand,so if you're set on something smaller, you might...

    Bypassing Excitel Router/ONT

    OpenWRT's PPPoE performance can be limited since it lacks hardware NAT acceleration found in stock firmware. Testing with the stock firmware might help confirm if that's the bottleneck.

    Guide Improving WiFi Stability with Too Many Networks

    Just to confirm — so all I need to do is connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of my ONT to the WAN port of my new router, and then enable the SSID on the new router, right? Also, does this kind of setup have any impact on speed or increase packet loss, since it involves passing traffic...

    Guide Improving WiFi Stability with Too Many Networks

    Yes, I'm talking about Airtel Fiber so it must be an ONT (I have no idea what that is—will read up on it later). If I buy a new router, what exactly would I need to do to replace this ONT? Since it uses fiber directly, I'm a bit confused. Also, is the WiFi on these custom routers actually better...
