    There is one other thing to mention! Your laptop is going to ask you for the password to your hotspot!

    My comment was not trying to alarm you in any way, what has happened is a win win situation, reducing the RF density all round and the microwave trunks have been replaced by fibre with no RF signature.
    My point was that if you stop outside my house and attempt to log onto Wi-Fi, the signal may well be coming from my router at 1 watt instead of a public router at much higher current density.
    My contract is for 500 megabits, but fibre runs at up to 3 gigabits. the balance is available as public Wi-Fi. It does not affect my speed or security in any way, neither do I have access to the part of the signal bandwidth that I am not paying for, so the Wi-Fi component is completely secure.
    Her in the UK, the EE mobile network has been bundled into the equation, so if my line goes down. I could be running on a mobile signal without even knowing.

    The system is now so complex, that even the engineers installing it do not know how it all works.
    When the office went down a few weeks ago, it was corrected by computer bots immediately that I reported it. When I questioned how they knew the location of the fault, they replied that they had checked everything that I am connected with to find the fault. This included our home and another building in a different part of the UK. The whole lot took 45 seconds.

    On a previous post, I mentioned how if I called you on your mobile right now, how I would find you. My country code and yours is the obvious starting point, But even if I was over playing with the controls at the Sydney opera house and you were sunning yourself in the Caribbean, we would still be chatting within less than 30 seconds.
    I am not going to spend the next 4 hours explaining how all this works, but the end result for the locations that I mentioned would involve more than a trillion ping signals and waiting for one of them to bounce back and trigger the switching.

    i thought my installation personnel might have shared router info such that people could use our wifi. there would be no way to know other than an audit of activity on the router.

    I guess it pays to audit the activity on your router. I wonder how clearing cache on a device would prevent the router from contributing your clicks and browsing to
    a) a third party
    b) the dark web
    c) police
    d) hackers who want to use
    -----------------i) a social intervention with knowledge you thought was private
    -----------------ii) your private data to market something to you in a subliminal coordinated attack
    - - - - - - - - - - - a.) in traffic
    - - - - - - - - - - - b.) at your school
    - - - - - - - - - - - c.) at your place of worship
    - - - - - - - - - - - d.) during your phone calls to
    i) the doctor
    ii) amazon
    iii) police
    iv) mental health hotlines
    v) any other coordinated/organized group with notions about their role in your private life as entitled by faith or legality per average pathology of your browsing under a microscope acting on behalf of your accountability to their understanding of whether you are an honest person since your private browsing is publicly known by illicit access or "simple deductive reasoning" and informing those who might be effected by your malfeasance.

    It is a difficult situation. Standard ADSL internet is dynamic, so every time you reboot, you connect to the first available line. You only need static IP, if you are running a web server from your home or office. To save the cost of running a server, most small websites are hosted by one of the companies providing the service.
    I always assumed that BT were hosting our email domaine, but about a decade ago, they contracted this to Microsoft. I woke up one morning to discover that I had sent more than 5,000 emails overnight. I had not been hacked, the Microsoft server had, by a criminal organisation in Russia. The Chinese communist party ae 10 times worse.
    People who want your details hack the companies who you deal with, not you. That way they get thousands of people in one hit.
    Organisations such as banks are totally secure, since like law enforcement and government departments they have in house servers. Companies such as Amazon are at the other end of the scale.
    The difficult one is the health services. If you were involved in an accident, regardless of where you were, paramedics and hospitals may need your records to save your life, particularly any cardiothoracic problems, along with your blood type. Here in the UK there is a 2 tier system, vital matters that may be needed to save you life are available but chats with your doctor are not.
    The relationship between the banks and the revenue are another matter, certainly not one that I would discuss on HF. The staff working for the banks are not informed, perhaps that will give you a clue.

    Hopefully explaining all this has helped. NO ONE is interested in sitting outside your house and hacking your router, unless you are a terrorist or a career criminal.

    PS. If you check activity on your router, it will not show the Wi-Fi component. It is a seperate channel that does not belong to you.

    Despite all efforts to rein in fossil fuels, the world is now producing and burning more gas, oil and coal than ever before, the planet be damned.

    So let it be written, so let it be done...

    People also ask
    What happened to Chatsworth Reservoir?


    subjected to a major earthquake, either a local or San Andreas event. As a result of this analysis and discussions with the DWR, Division of Safety of Dams, it was determined that the two dams forming Chatsworth Reservoir would have to be completely rebuilt, and that no water could be stored in Chatsworth Reservoir.
