X-BeenThere: cerowrt-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.13 Precedence: list List-Id: Development issues regarding the cerowrt test router project List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2013 19:46:38 -0000 I have long used "5" as an indicator that the 5ghz channel was better. This goes back to a long thread on nanog, like 4? 5? years ago, where the hope was to train users that "5" was better. Well, it's turned out that 5 is frequently better, but not always, AND that clients tend to go for the shortest of the SSIDs available. So a thought would be to create another ad-hoc standard for deprecating 2.4 ghz, and have the shorter SSID be the 5ghz one. Ideas for the 2ghz channel: CEROwrt-legacy CEROwrt2 I'm not huge on "legacy" because it's rather long but am stuck for standards, I'd like a default 2.4 ghz SSID that clearly indicates the real use to which 2.4ghz is suitable, like: CEROwrt-GET-OFF-MY-BABY-MONITOR-YOU-FREAK ideas for another ssid naming standard slightly longer than a single digit that would make sense to mom? --=20 Dave T=E4ht Fixing bufferbloat with cerowrt: http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.= html
