| <riteo> | yea but I suppose they read the logs |
| <riteo> | I hope at least |
| <kris_> | oh true i forget this is logged |
| <riteo> | nw |
| <kris_> | cheapest decent AP i can find that is vlan aware is $90 |
| <kris_> | pain |
| <riteo> | wait does that matter |
| <riteo> | like, why should an AP care about vlan |
| <riteo> | that's supposed to be transparent isn't it |
| <kris_> | im kinda mapping out different setups in my mind right now to decide what i intend on doing |
| <kris_> | basically, i need to have a vlan for my family devices and a vlan for my personal shit |
| <kris_> | which is simple, get a managed switch and create two vlans, but access points are annoying with this |
| <kris_> | i'm missing the part where i can somehow split a single AP that isn't vlan aware to be used for both vlans |
| <kris_> | without some hacky bullshit |
| <riteo> | ooooh I see |
| <riteo> | so like you want to make two wireless networks |
| <kris_> | basically |
| <riteo> | how's the cheapest AP? |
| <riteo> | maybe you could buy two of them lol |
| <riteo> | non vlan aware I mean |
| <kris_> | i mean i could do that i guess since i already have 1 |
| <kris_> | via my current consumer asus router in AP mode |
| <riteo> | yea |
| <kris_> | or i could just get one for $90 that supports up to 8 SSIDs |
| <kris_> | which can be split to 8 vlans if i so desire lol |
| <riteo> | oh wow that's impressive |
| <riteo> | well I guess it depends on your requirements really |
| <kris_> | yeah ive been reading spec sheets for like 6 hours |
| <kris_> | part of the problem here is supporting old devices since my father refuses to leave windows 7 |
| <riteo> | understandable |
| <riteo> | anything after windows 7 is crap |
| <kris_> | it's totally not understandable |
| <kris_> | like i get that approach but windows 10 IoT LTSC is supported for like another 6 years or some shit |
| <kris_> | and is probably less bloated than win 7 lol |
| <riteo> | eh |
| <riteo> | i'd argue that win 7 is more performant on whathever he's using |
| <kris_> | he has modern enough hardware |
| <kris_> | some 4c8t haswell xeon and a quadro M2000M with 32gb of ram and hella SSD storage |
| <riteo> | oh. |
| <riteo> | yea that's plenty |
| <kris_> | he just *will not do it* |
| <kris_> | he's worse than i am with the hating microsoft shit |
| <riteo> | why not linux then |
| <kris_> | and can't use linux because he needs autodesk software for work |
| <riteo> | oh I see |
| <riteo> | is that just a driver issue? |
| <riteo> | like, what do you mean by "supporting old hardware"? |
| <kris_> | i misspoke, software |
| <riteo> | oh ok |
| <kris_> | i don't want that machine on the same network as the rest of my stuff |
