Access Control Question 850
Earlier today I did a major reset on my router because it had my entire network totally blocked. So after re-starting everything I have been very carefully stepping through manual and all the differ...
Thanks to all for this discussion and my learnings. Much appreciated. While I'm labeled an "Aspirant" by this site my family feels I'm some sort of network nerd now which means I've achieved an important goal on my end. Thanks again!
Things are seemingly stable and predictable. Much of what I was seeing were issues due to my lack of understanding (maybe all of what I was seeing). But right now I have I identified all the devices and renamed them to something logical and recognizable. And I removed one device that I could not find. If it comes back I will have better luck understanding what and who's it is.
I still wonder why some devices connect to a more distant Satellite/Router when there is a Satellite/Router much closer. TC_in_Montana felt maybe I have too much coverage. The power setting, according to the manual, is set with a drop-down yet I didn't see a drop down that would allow me to change it. TC also said I could look for DNS entries in the log files but I need more help with this before I understand what I'm looking for. But if I can't turn the power down........? I'm not aware of any problems that are being caused by this issue so maybe it would be best to just stay away from this level of detail and go work on my golf game.
