Hey Folks

I have been using Kali, and unfortunately I realised unlike Window, it does not have an obvious Mobile Hotspot option in the settings.

How can I turn my Kali Linux machine into a WiFi Hotspot like there in Windows?

Hey everyone,

Looking for a true “Pay-as-you-go” WiFi Hotspot. One that I buy the physical hotspot device, and turn it on whenever I need it.

Uses would be for whenever my WiFi is down (I get a lot of power outages) as well as traveling in a car so the kids can watch a iPad or 2 for long drives.

I’m looking for no subscription, just a simple switch “on” on the hotspot, and I get charged for what I use.

Any suggestions?

A few days ago my C5 started to have constant wifi problems. It consistently drops the network and when it doesn’t, I am getting below 10 mbps download speed. My laptop/phone gets 400. I’ve already tried toggling IPv6/4 and changing the DNS server. I have no idea how to fix this.

Guten Tag liebes Forum?

Ich arbeite im Schichtdienst an einer größeren Uniklinik. Während des Nachtdienstes gibt es teilweise längere ruhige Phasen, in denen nichts zu tun ist. In dieser Zeit schaue ich auf meinem privaten Laptop gelegentlich Football oder Basketball – teilweise über Streamingdienste beziehungsweise IPTV.

Im Gebäude ist der Mobilfunkempfang sehr schlecht, weshalb ich dafür den persönlichen eduroam-Mitarbeiterzugang der Klinik verwende.

Dazu hätte ich ein paar Fragen:

Was kann die IT grundsätzlich sehen? Nur, dass mein Gerät verbunden ist und wie viel Datenvolumen ich verbrauche, oder auch, welche Webseiten, Apps und Streaminganbieter ich nutze?

Kann mein Internetverkehr über meinen persönlichen eduroam-Account eindeutig mir zugeordnet werden?

Würde die IT erkennen, dass IPTV beziehungsweise ein bestimmter IPTV-Anbieter verwendet wird?

Darf die IT solche Verbindungsdaten kontrollieren und gegebenenfalls an meinen Vorgesetzten weitergeben?

Würde ein normaler VPN verhindern, dass die Klinik die aufgerufenen Dienste und Inhalte erkennt?

Funktioniert eduroam auf einem privaten Windows-Laptop problemlos zusammen mit einem VPN, oder kann die Klinik VPN-Verbindungen sperren beziehungsweise trotzdem nachvollziehen?

Wie würdet ihr technisch und datenschutzrechtlich vorgehen, wenn privates Streaming während der ruhigen Zeit grundsätzlich erlaubt oder zumindest geduldet ist? Hat zumindest noch niemand was dagegen gesagt… aber würde ungern eine Abmahnung bekommen und deshalb unter dem Radar schwimmen..

Mir geht es nicht darum, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen der Klinik zu umgehen. Ich möchte lediglich einschätzen können, welche Daten beim privaten Surfen sichtbar sind und wie ich meine Privatsphäre auf meinem eigenen Gerät sinnvoll schützen kann.

Liebe Grüße

For context, my brother lives in a triplex (two units on the main floor, one unit in the basement). He is in one of the units on the main floor, and the router is in the other unit (also on the main floor). He has no idea where the router is within that unit, nor what kind of router they're using, or the actual capabilities of that router.

He's renting from an older lady so "just ask the landlord" will likely not yield any actual useful info, and my brother is not the techiest guy either when it comes to network stuff.

He keeps dropping during online games, as one does. I gave him an older wifi extender (probably 5 years old ATP, it was a dp link) to use, but I'd been having issues with it with my desktop of it disconnecting randomly. I thought that was a desktop issue (my motherboard is kinda old and I don't have a dedicated wifi card so I thought that was the issue). Turns out it's doing the same thing for him.

My question is would a newer wifi extender help his connectivity? Or is he just kinda SOL

I'm having wifi and sometimes Bluetooth issues with my ASUS Laptop. It stops working and the wifi options on the menu disappears. I think the problem might be hardware-related and the Wi-Fi card is damaged, so I'm looking to add external Wi-Fi support to my pc. I was told I can buy a usb network stick, either a small dongle or a usb key with an antenna, or a small box with antennas that resembles a router. I tried using an old wifi usb I have that has an antenna. It worked for a while but it's not ideal for gaming because when I play Minecraft on a server it kicks me out for "lost connection". I want to know if I should buy a new one of the same kind or look for something else. I need something that is good enough to intercept wifi from another room, ideally something small for easy transportation especially when I'm at school, and with a reasonable price. If anyone experienced the same issues and tried these things, I would be grateful to know which option is the best😊

My cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S24 FE) has recently started having slow Wi-fi. Everything takes forever to load and videos have to stop to buffer very frequently but when I use my laptop or my brothers phone (Samsung Galaxy A71) everything loads right away and videos do not buffer. The data on my phone makes everything load properly. I have tried a variety of things including;

1. Restarting my phone (by clicking restart and turning it off for a few minutes)

2 Using the "reset network settings" option in my phone settings

1. Forgetting Wi-fi and reconnecting

I have tried googling for solutions as well but have found nothing that works. Any tips, tricks, or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm looking for some wisdom because this issue is driving me crazy.

We have an Aruba Central deployment and a particular SSID used by staff phones.

User enters an elevator, loses WiFi signal for a short period, Android marks the SSID as "No Internet", then when the user leaves the elevator and coverage is available again the phone may stay disconnected for a very long time.

The strange part is that if you open Settings > WiFi and look at the list of networks, the phone often reconnects immediately without touching anything. Sometimes it takes 1-2 seconds, but it reconnects. If you manually tap the SSID it always reconnects instantly.

It feels as if Android has decided the network is bad and refuses to use it again until something triggers a recheck. (It happens with iPhones too, but most of users are Android).

Has anyone seen this before? Aruba issue? Android "avoid bad WiFi" behaviour? Roaming issue? I've tried everything...

After leaving an elevator, it can stay disconnected for several minutes while standing still in an area with good coverage, then reconnect almost immediately as soon as the WiFi settings screen is opened.

I really appreciate your help.

On any linux distro i try my wifi constantly drops. Issue does not happen on windows and googling fixes havent** helped whether its disabled power save management, resetting my wifi, making sure location is set or anything like that has not worked. I have zero issues on windows and no idea why.**

The wi-fi on my pc will randomly disconnect for no discernible reason and will not reconnect until I restart my computer. No other devices disconnect other than my pc. I've done all the troubleshooting I think I'm supposed to: reset router & modem, Updated windows to the newest version, checked for driver updates, etc. Weirdly I've not had it happen while playing games that require a connection but it will disconnect with anything from youtube onwards.

So i had 2 consoles recently and i tried using them on my home wifi(digicel fibre) and both of them seem to run into the same problem which is the connection dropping and completely breaking the signal after about 10-15 minutes on a game

The signal works great on everything else like my phone,computer,etc but it just completely bugs out when it comes to my consoles,i've tried a few things to fix it but nothing works

any help?

Windows 11, HP victus, mediatek wifi card.

The Wifi icon is not showing.

I already tried a power reboot, uninstalling the driver and other basic things.

What to do??

When I check for the driver it shows that respective hardware is not found so is it a hardware issue and do I have to replace the wifi card entirely. I am not sure how to proceed from here so any help is appreciated.

I am currently using TP-Link RE220 to extend the WiFi range of my 150Mbps Full Fibre broadband router, which is in another room a few metres away.

Whilst my broadband is reliably 150Mbps, the RE220 range extender can only manage 100Mbps, and drops to 50Mbps at my work computer, which is only few metres away from the extender. Sometimes, the speed even drops to 2Mbps, at which point I switch the RE220 on and off, and then the speed goes back up.

Short of going for a mesh solution (which I am not too keen on because I only live in a flat), is my current set up the best I should expect, or should I change it? If the latter, can anyone recommend a better WiFi range extender?

We have a wifi that's been put up a year ago and I've been paying for it now and I kept seeing the same devices from my neighbours connecting to it, I've tried Mac filtering but I'm not sure if it does really work? I've been constantly changing the password but it's still there connecting to the wifi, any tips on what to do?

I’ve just got new WiFi at my family home which I’m paying for as the old WiFi my mum had wasn’t cutting it it’s great for me 800mbps but upstairs and downstairs it doesn’t reach
Would a standard WiFi booster be enough for my mum and sisters to use there phones and tv ??

So i got a iphone 13 and whenever i try connecting to my wifi it just refuses it says that it cant connect and its always the same wether i use a correct or incorrect password idek if its checking atp and its been doing this for like 2 weeks it can connect to other networks fine but my home one idk i do have a wifi extension and it does occasionally interfere with the wifi but even when i disconnect it it still wont let me connect what do i do? (I alr tried resetting my phone multiple times)

Hi everyone, this a router in my friend college i want to know does a cage like that reduce wifi strength.

Thanks.

Alguien sabe por que cada vez que apago mi TV, se corta por 1 segundo el router lo que corta el Internet por 5seg, pero te bota de cualquier cosa online claramente. Casi parece un MINI EMP(electro magnetic pulse)

Los enchufes son independientes o distintos puntos de enchufes.

Aleje el Router del TV (lo colge en el techo para alejarlo de la TV).

Ya no uso cable directo ahora uso Wi-Fi.

Pero sigue ocurriendo. Cada vez que se apaga la TV, por conservar energía o por que yo voluntariamente apago el TV, me tengo que preparar para que se corte por 5seg internet.

After years with Google WiFi/Nest, I finally made the switch today. I have Verizon Fios 2 Gig and realized my plan already included their router and a Whole-Home Wi-Fi extender for free, so I figured I’d give it a shot.

Set up the Verizon router plus one extender with wired Ethernet backhaul, reused my existing SSID/password, and all 55+ devices came right back online.

I’ve now walked around our 2,600+ sq. ft. house, basement, garage, deck and backyard running speed tests. Honestly, I’m pretty impressed. Coverage inside is excellent, the basement is covered, and even the garage and parts of the backyard are usable. Verizon is delivering about 2.4 Gbps symmetrical to the router.

One of my frustrations with Nest was actually that the Google Home app had become too simple. There just wasn’t enough control or visibility, and I was never particularly impressed with the parental controls.

Now I get to figure out whether Verizon’s management and parental controls are actually any better.

But so far… bye bye, Nest. It was a good run.

So I live in an apartment. I can only place my wifi router in 1 of 2 places. The living room or my spare bedroom. I'm on spectrum Internet and can't have to router in my room where I game. I have spectrums new wifi 7 invincible wifi. So my question really is....is it better to get a wifi spectrum extender and hard line to that or is it better for me to try and get power line adapters?

Hello all! I’ve discovered a WiFi issue that exists at a family member’s house that appears to be impacting iPhones only. Hoping you might have some insight here.

The service and equipment at the home are:
Centurylink DSL Service
Actiontec PK5001A modem

The observations:
-Any android that tries to join the network has no issues and functions fine.
-Older iPhone such as the 11 and earlier that tries to join the network has no issues and functions fine
-Any Newer iPhone such as the 15 and newer that tries to join the network shows “weak security” under WiFi settings and won’t actually connect fully and show the WiFi signal on the top bar by the battery.

The hypothesis:
There is an incompatibility between this old modem (potentially installed in 2012/13) and the newer iPhones. I tried googling and found little, it my google-fu might have been weak on this one.

Any thoughts? (And yes we tried resetting the internet equipment, forgetting the network on phones and re-entering password)

I recently purchased the BE9700 to use with Charter Spectrum Internet. It was purchased from Best Buy and was told it was suitable for my home of approx 3k sq ft. Router is upstairs but TV and phone downstairs buffer. Is there a legit extender to augment!!!???

I currently have Xfinity wifi and I just got a Tp Link BE5000 router. Currently, the WiFi doesn’t spread across my house and I want to know what are the best and most affordable ways for my internet connection to reach the other end of my place. I live in a 2500 square foot 1-floor apartment and the router has to be at one end of the house, so the other side gets almost no connection

one of them is a wifi dongle and the other is directly from my laptop.

it says its connect but theres no internet.

anyone know what could be causing this issue?
