The solution is to base it upon the user session timer.

To my understanding, a network switch will relay your MAC address, so it’s sounding like that is what your range extender is. You would need an actual wireless router. You could get a wireless mesh router pair, so you have both a new wifi and range extending. I’d then disable the wifi on your main router. It sounds like they make you use your ISP’s router, but it’s also worth trying to disconnect that and plugging your new router direct into the modem instead to see if you need the ISP router at all. Also, you’d need to whitelist the new device with the ISP.

I wanted to use my DAC with different desktop versions of music services to get full lossless at the highest bitrates. I forget if it was Tidal, Amazon Music, or both that were having issues with Linux. Additionally, was looking through different video editing software and CAD tools where many were only on Windows.

Interesting. I ran Mint for a while, but found that a lot of software that I wanted to use was in Windows, so switched back and have been using the virtualized Ubuntu with VSCode pointed to the file system. I haven’t had any issues with productivity and wouldn’t mind if MS went in a Linux Kernel direction like Mac did.

What’s eee mean?
