I think the @#$% router I own is not really good... It only allows 2.4...
I've seen that putting it to a specific channel has improved a little bit the behavior...
Let's see what will happen from now...
Thank you!

In UK, I got so fed up with (what felt like) constantly replacing and poor performance Wifi Routers and Extenders that I ripped them out and hard wired in Ubiquiti POE UniFi APs, one upstairs and one downstairs. wired back to a Ubiquiti Switch and Ubiquiti Router.....so much better and never any problems now.
Downstairs AP[^]
Network Rack in loft[^]
Over here in Qatar I have linksys AP (wired back to cannot be removed fibre router, telecoms company owned)and 2 Linksys Extenders, they can be problematic and need to be rebooted every so often. I am wanting to do the same as the Uk and replace them with Ubiquiti gear, so after holidays maybe look at how can get the wiring through the building (concrete walls and false ceilings).

Aw. The old Fiasco in which you could easily break your arm reaching for the passenger side seat belt (no rear seatbelts in those days, of course!) Such memories!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Yeah, but went like sh*t off a shovel. For its day it was ok but it did require regular servicing. Like every week...

Nope, Axl still sucks and takes away from the ACDC sound I have grown to love. They need to retire now.
Second link, he sounds like Sam Kinison.
...in my opinion, that is.

Wow! Thank you for this. I never expected that he fits that good.

It's cute the first time.
The nth time, it creates a new behavior -- how long can I wait so that I'm not the first caller having to listen to the hold music.
Ah, the side-effects of technology on our behavior!
You can hear the hold song here[^] if you want. Like I said, cute the first time.

Agreed. Not bad one time, maybe.
But, that's about it.

OK, so 100 is the average intelligence. Without really thinking about it, one kind of assumes that average is... well, you know - meh, average. Not smart, not stupid, just... average. But actually, has anyone done any studies to really get a handle on just what average intelligence amounts to? (Other than answering IQ tests...) 'cos I think it's probably pretty damned stupid.
I'm asking this in all seriousness - not trying to have a rant. What is average intelligence - just how smart (or dumb) is someone with an IQ of 100?
For example - how would such people fare in:
applications to an average university
a course to become an airline pilot
learning to program in C#
studying law
running for public office (ha ha just joking with that one!)
..this sort of thing...
[edit] just to be clear: I am not looking for a scientifically rigorous answer - the question doesn't have one, I know that. Just.. as the title says: how smart is average?

Someone once said I was below average. I though he was being mean, but it was just his default mode.

That will go over some heads.

Intelligence is impossible to measure.
So, just stop there.
I'd rather be phishing!

Well, I realise that - it's also multi-dimensional/faceted... I'm not really after a definitive scientific answer....

Back in my college days I ended up taking a whole bunch of different IQ tests and got the same, normalized, score on all of them! I kept getting 139 which, while it pleased me to be above the 100 average, it also annoyed me in that they told me that a score of 140 or above is "genius" level and I couldn't quite make it! A friend cheered me up by having a T-shirt printed for me with "One point short of a Genius" on it. However, although she meant well, the word "Genius" was spelled "Genuis" which rather spoiled the effect!
I recently did an on-line IQ test and scored 144 so my incredible age must have counted for something!

Meh, I've taken plenty of IQ tests, both official and online... They all put me in the 185-200 range...
Except when I was really bored and decided to join Mensa... I took their admission test (Didn't have any of the paperwork from the few of those IQ tests that were "official"), and missed qualifying by one point.
(In my defense, their "Which of these things is not like the other?" questions were really "Which of the several obvious answers to this is the one we decided is correct?", and I lost time on the math section because I hadn't done long multiplication/division by hand in years)
So to summarize, I'm pretty sure all intelligence testing is complete crap... And to summarize the summary of the summary, as DNA said, people are the problem.

I was invited to join Mensa when I was working in London. I went to one of the monthly social get-togethers. I didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a p*ssing competition as to who got the highest score for entry. Also, I found out that the Mensa "IQ" score is 20% higher than most others. In other words if an IQ test says a person has an IQ of 150, the same person should obtain a score of 180 using the Mensa test. Considering the social skills, or lack thereof, of the people at the meeting, I declined the invitation and the test.

The same is true of online IQ tests, they score people artificially high in order to encourage people to brag and have their friends take it, because of course it's about making money with them clicks. Same with Mensa, they score people high because, well, they want more paying members don't they? And as you found, it's all about bragging rights (and by extension, insecurity).
If you want an accurate IQ test you have to go to a psychologist. And even then, if you want it to be truly accurate you need to take it as a child.

Not on a professionally supervised Stanford-Binet or Weschler you didn't.
Just because a thing (on-line thing, yes?) says "IQ Test" don't mean didley-squat.
A couple points:
(a) Professionally valid IQ tests are increasingly unreliable above 150. But getting a score over 150 means that you are really, really smart.
(b) The IQ scores you boast of above are higher than Gary Kasparov, Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. Anyone scoring that high will cause a local ripple and people would want to talk to you, and re-test you (the "unreliabilty" thing)
So, to summarize, I think I will discount your opinion of IQ testing, because it seems pretty obvious that you have never (other than Mensa) been "properly" tested.
Good to know that you are on the A-Ark
(at least, they told you it was the A-Ark, right? But the guys who told you it was the A-Ark, they aren't on board are they?)
