Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

It was just a tiny hotel - like 12 rooms. They're not gonna afford that. These were just two routers exactly like what you'd expect from your ISP. Hell, I think they were ISP provided, complete with ISP branding on the outside of it. Verizon, if memory serves - but this was a long time ago, like more than a decade.

This place has a giant IT section. I haven't been in it, but I can tell based on where the doors are and where the edge of the building is. I do know that they use a mesh network coupled with access points - with distinct networks for a variety of things. It's pretty fancy and awesome when it works.

They were/are adding other features - like we should be able to dim the lights/change the color of the lights by speaking into the tablet or even speaking into a mic on the TV remotes. It's not surprising that it's broken.

That's coupled with the fiber having been cut - oddly in another part of the city.

By the way, it took me this long to reply due to an outage and inability to connect.

A lot of hotels I have done work in had their IT equipment in the laundry room, not conductive to cooling

This was up in the crawl space above the rooms - not really an attic but an attic type of space but not tall enough for me to walk upright. I had to hunker on all fours like a goddamned gorilla. Ook ook!
