Audio network separated from home network

Some of us actually know what they are doing, and what they need. Some, on the other hanbd, had read somethiung about “enterprise gear” on the back of a cereal box and pretend to know what a SSID is.

There certainly are options. For a normal home user (especially in a large house) using the same SSID is better as it gives seamless handover as you move around. Different SSIDs are useful (to the same normal home user) only when setting up a guest/IoT network or when using crappy clients that need to be forced to connect on a certain frequency band.

If it’s for me, then no. There is no shortage of idiots around, and watching every ignorant youtube prostitute talking out of his behind about things he does not understand. There’s that thing called “physics.” Some have studied it in college. Some listen to salesmen. If it’s for the OP, also no. Identical bits sound identical and there is no audio-related jitter over an asynchronous network connection.

That said, on the underlying issue, the only reason to separate traffic like that might be prudent to avoid whatever security holes RoseOS might have but most likely not worth the great inconvenience.

There you go Boris back to your old self.

I was going to let it slide about your lack of understanding of using SSIDs to segment your network and you only know about using it for segmenting radio frequencies.

Had you any time on commercial gear like the Meraki, you’d have known more about using SSIDs to segment your network.

I was in the UK when I got a 4:00am call from my cable provider talking about how my linksys router got hacked. So I had to order the Meraki and had my wife put it in my home office until I got back to the states in a couple of months. Where I then set it up.

So yes Boris I do know a fair bit about networking and dealing w this issue.

I was trying to be polite and say that most people here do not know jack.
And obviously that includes you since while you claim to have been a ‘rocket scientist’, you never had to deal with the actual hardware.

So give it a rest.

Yes, Mike, we all knowe that you don’t know anything about anything that you haven’t misheard from somebody trying to sell you something overpriced and useless.

Had you actually lad any clue about networking layers, you’d know that SSIDs and network segmentations have nothing to do with each other.

…I’d still know that those are orthogonal concepts (not that you would know what that even means).

Funny how people who know what they are doing don’t get their routers hacked. And definitely do not buy enterprise-grade (well, as much as anything Cisco had touched in the last 20 years is “enterprise grade”) unless they actually have some enterprise-grade needs.

People who buy iFooFoos and RELs from a dumpster drag home Merakis, too.

Little correction. You think you know something about it.

Which is absolutely true. You’ve just neglected to notice that it includes yourself, alas. Which is a pity, since it happened in the one and only thread here where at least your conclusions were correct.

Oh thank goodness things are reverting to normal. For a while there you were the last two guys I would want to end up between at a cocktail party. DHCP this, SSID that. Bartender, could you make the next one a double please?

Sorry M…, but I have to smile again at Boris’ comparisons. :rofl:

Dumpster…brilliant comparison. :joy:
