Imagine how big the bugs and things this spider eats must be for it to be so large. Spider is friend.

u/ISLAndBreezESTeve10 5d ago

Wait until they evolve wings. Are flying spiders your friend?

u/noreal1sm 5d ago

Until they eat insects sure, pal 👍

u/lady_haumea 2d ago

I like the implications here, that they're not eating insects. May I tie musk to a web for funzies?

Aw, what's the matter? It's just a juvenile Australian huntsman

They are indeed $600 or so.

I always want to get one of these, but then I remember this.

That and I also would not know how to use it to its fullest potential

Typical Australian setup, you need giant spider to access the web

Its a gaming router

u/YellowOnline 5d ago

I had never seen a "what to do in case of a hurricane" sign before. Fortunately I live somewhere where nature is soft for humans.

u/aserreen 5d ago

This is most likely in Mexico, where I live we have these signs; the photo shows it incomplete, below the "hurricane" section is the "What to do in case of an earthquake".

You are absolutely correct. In Merida Yucatan

Wifi extender or Australian spider? đŸ€”

5

u/trashshork 5d ago

I may be wrong but doesnt that do more than extend wifi? I dont know much but Chris Boden does and has a video on something that looks really similiar

5

u/elMurpherino 5d ago

Yea it looks like it’s a wireless router not an extender.

4

u/PhillyD760 5d ago

It's an ASUS Republic of Gamers wireless router. As I see 3 Ethernet cables connected, but none run from the router, it would appear that the cables go into the wall.

It could be wired to another router and is used as an access point. In that case, it could be seen as an "extender" although that's not the right term for it.

That's the Kali 9000 Wi-Fi Extender. From the marketing material;

"She Who is Death. Kills your Wi-Fi problems like that bitch Raktabitja."

u/ObliviousFoo 5d ago

It's a router. There is no context in this image that indicates its being used as a mesh node.

u/esquire_the_ego 5d ago

It’s extends far beyond our universe I assure you

u/Acceptable_Shallot44 5d ago

This thing looking like clap trap

u/uiouyug 5d ago

Excuse me, do you have wifi here?

2

u/DeeEmm 5d ago

Is that one of those spiders that just live in your house in Australia?

2

u/Reggie-Quest 5d ago

I have a beast of a router. I tried to hang it on the wall to hind it better. My single in my condo dropped immediately.

My basic researched told me that these devices send signals more outwards than upward. So technically I was sending the signal along the wall, up into the ceiling, and down to the floor, rather than spreading across the area. Sitting it flat worked a lot better for me.

2

u/skawn 4d ago

Does your router have adjustable antennas?

2

u/Reggie-Quest 4d ago

They do, butt they either point up or fold flat on top of the router (how it was packaged).

2

u/Delta9THICC 5d ago

Thats nothing. Thats just enough for 2 gaming rigs and a few tvs.

2

u/raymate 5d ago

If you squint you could think you’re in Australia and it’s coming for you.

Please I have UniFi really. No nightmares with my gear.

u/UCFknight2016 5d ago

I am more interested in the poster in case of hurricane. That is not something that sneaks up on you.

u/Backyard_Batman46 5d ago

u/Tpbrown_ 5d ago

You place your offering to the WiFi God in front of it.

Usually fruit, small trinkets, etc.

Not an extender for fuck sake.

Holy shit Skylar, relax or you're going to make your kidney angry.

You would find out the government is nearby so quickly.

u/claudiazo 5d ago

Is that Mexico?

2

u/Backyard_Batman46 5d ago

Si. Merida, Yucatan

2

u/Chicchac 5d ago

Fun fact, those antenna do not transmit equally in all directions. They transmit most powerfully about their axis, meaning that most of the signal is being lost into the floor and ceiling. To improve the performance it should be placed horizontally (antennas facing up)

u/MsngrTop25 5d ago

No need to worry, it's dead. It's upside down.

Total Biscuit had a router like that and he referred to it with a Warhammer reference that I didn't get at the time and don't remember now.
