    Never had the energy to muster to figure out that whole process… also I’m on apartment-wide wifi

    Yeah, Reddit did a lot of shitty things, but the constant religious ads shoved in my face was just the final push that made the entire user experience itself annoying for me

      also I’m on apartment-wide wifi

      Oof, yeah, that’s understandable. There’s still ways to set that up, but yeah if you’re using WiFi provided by the apartment complex, the setup just got more complicated.

        It’s super annoying too, cause I had a pretty nice router that’s just had to be shelved since I moved…

        Granted the internet speed itself is better than my last place, but I hate not being in my own network

          You could potentially find the best spot in the apartment for reception and set up a repeater router for your “private” use if it’s not against your lease agreement. Then you’d be able to directly connect to e.g. hardwired things, roku TV or local server if you have any.

              There are ways to do it that do not cut the rate in half, e.g. dedicating one band to the internet connection and one band to your client connections, using two routers (one as client, one as AP).
