Routers in general. Some enterprise routers carry multiple radios for same-frequency networks so that each has a different SSID and access authentication. Many less expensive routers use a single radio for a particular frequency. Firmware allows the router to transmit two separate SSIDs with different authentication on the same channel.2ndchance wrote:adnj wrote:Some routers support multiple radios but your guest network is not a different signal.

Were you referring to any typical home router with a guest network or were stating this specifically with regards to the "FLOW WiFi"?

Just another reason to cut the cable. When you have cable all you're really doing is paying ( a lot) for ads, inconvenience, high electricity bills, and paying for a subscription that Flow is stealing from USA networks and has the audacity to sell stolen content to you.
You can remodel your TV watching habits and get an internet tv-box and buy subscriptions like Netflix and Amazon Prime instead. These devices are modern, have better programming and sleep modes to save energy. And the local TV stations stream the news, morning programmes and national addresses for free on their websites in HD. You can get go a step further and program routines with Google Home or Alexa into voice commands. "Hey Google, watch TV6 news." Which can turn on your smart tv, open a tab in Chrome with the tv6 streaming website, and cast it onto your tv.
So cutting cable is the inevitable trend for the future.

Is a good thing police don't charge people for receiving stolen services like how some get charged for receiving stolen goods!

Only this week I realize that when I go in that corner it is hotter than usual only to feel the cable box and realize that it was extremely hot even though it wasn't being used. The router was hot too but not as hot as the cable box. Is this normal? I ended up unplugging the cable box because we hardly use it and its just there creating heat and burning electricity
maj. tom wrote:Why? Because it's older technology, really older tech that has never needed to be updated because it just works. And it's always on because you want instant response time when clicking the remote control. People don't have to wait for a CRT tv to heat up properly these days. If they changed all these boxes to be Energy Star compliant, it would cost the cable companies way too much money to upgrade to yield something that will still be outdated compared to an internet-tv box or a smart tv.
Perhaps closer to 10 Watts nominal. If you want to be sure, get a power meter similar to a Kill-A-Watt so that you can check against how you use it.redmanjp wrote:Musical Doc wrote:I recently put my cable box and wifi router on a tv stand in a corner in the living room with the tv mounted on the wall.

i doh understand how cable boxes exempt from energy efficiency standards- most other devices use like 1-3 watts when off/standby. i read somewhere cable boxes still using 40W when 'off'
Musical Doc wrote:So I think flow trying to buss price during this covid time. I called to downgrage my package to the basic package which the website says is 75mbs for $275. According to the agent, the website wasn't updated since covid and she is only aware of the new packages so the 75mb plan is really $320....
