I worked with @vanhoefm again on this report on a new #WiFi #vulnerability that’s due to a flaw in the standard itself and affects all clients on all platforms under the right conditions https://www.top10vpn.com/research/wifi-vulnerability-ssid/ #cybersecurity

Auch #Frankfurt bekommt nach vielen Jahren der Diskussion jetzt ein öffentliches städtisches WLAN.

Positiv: Ohne Registrierung und persönliche Daten nutzbar.

Negativ: "Aktuell ist das Surfen über die Protokolle http und https freigeschaltet. Bestimmte Dienste, zum Beispiel Streaming, sind, wie in öffentlichen WLANs üblich, aus Kapazitätsgründen gesperrt." (Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

Schade, damit dürften diverse übliche Dienste wohl nicht oder nur eingeschränkt funktionieren 🤷 Nicht mal Mails abrufen wird man über das WLAN können.

Friend has #meshtastic #cli on #RaspberryPi which does not want to control node via #bluetooth nor #wifi. Any ideas what issue might be? Cheers.

Hat hier zufällig jmd die Heltec Wireless Bridge? #Lora #BLE #Wifi Converter wohl mit #ESP32 Kann man damit was anfangen? Wie weit reicht der Sende-/Empfangsradius?

So, everybody "knows" #FreeBSD has "bad #WiFi", right?

Turns out this "knowledge" can lead to wrong conclusions. My old #Lenovo X121e with RTL8188CE (b/g/n on only 2.4GHz) never could do better than 802.11g since running FreeBSD, although docs kind of implied 802.11n support for quite a while, so I thought ok, this driver just doesn't get it right.

Oh well, suddenly solved yesterday after installing the latest Wifi controller software and AP firmware 🙄🙈

On the article making the rounds, I wonder what level of “how hard could wifi be” they are on:

1. We make wifi lets use google home consumer mesh
2. Access points are expensive, let’s buy less and crank up the power to 200 dBm
3. The architect says we have to mount the APs on the 100ft vaulted ceiling ceiling to be pretty
4. No we can’t get directional antennas they cost too much, integrated omnis are fiiiiiine
5. Cisco/Aruba bug

I’m betting 3 or 4, because the key phrase is “phones as hotspots”. If the air was overutilized then mobile hotspot would probably suck too

#WiFi #RF Anybody have more technical details?

LOL, burglars are now using Wi-Fi jammers in Los Angeles to disable people's entire security setup. #wifi #jamming #burglary #crime #cybersecurity

My #Tdeck was working fine with the #meshtastic app. Then I tried switching to #WiFi mode (putting in SSID and wifi password) (because I wanted to make sure / test that the MQTT options would work - thinking that a WiFi connection would make any internet traffic better) but that makes the settings menu all greyed out so I cannot set it back to bluetooth only, nor switch off wifi… crumbs…#bricked ?

mwx(4), another new wi-fi driver, added to -current https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20240223122439 #openbsd #wifi #mwx #networking #current #7.5beta #75beta

Any device recommendation if I just need OLSRv2 and WPA3 on #OpenWRT? 🤔

@gyptazy I tried to migrate home network to #IPv6 until I traveled to #Finland : the #WiFi guest and my mobile operator were stuck on #IPv4. I cannot connect to my home server through #WireGuard (IPv6 only).
Then I re-enabled dual stack when I came back home 😅
My issue was not caused by a Finnish issue, except about WiFi connection. The root cause is that mobile operator provides only IPv4 on roaming.

Faster than ever: Wi-Fi 7 standard arrives https://zdnet.com/home-and-office/networking/faster-than-ever-wi-fi-7-standard-arrives/ by @sjvn

OK, maybe #WiFi 7 networks won’t get to 5.8Gbps. but 4Gbps seems likely. Fast enough for you?
