My 5gHz is “Hot Signals in Your Area.” My 2.4gHz is “Mediocre Signals in Your Area.”

But technically the signal strength of 2.4 goes farther than 5, so this one hurts my brain. Perhaps because when I think mediocre signals… I think mediocre signal strength. 🤷🏽‍♀️

So maybe more like “Hot Signals Near You” and “Mediocre Signals In Your Area” to signal the difference in distance

Mines been named “WiFiArtThouRomeo” for, like, 20 years. Don’t know if it’s funny, but I think it’s cute.
