  • Yes!

    The one I bought, doesn’t overheat even at 100%, but the ISP one used to overheat even with the WiFi off.

    On the other hand, I recently tried connecting my router directly to the ISPs network (trying to lose the NAT) and it was hanging every few minutes. I was running Wireshark and unable to configure it to get internet access.

    I would consider the main reason for overheating to be internet traffic, but in some models, the WiFi makes the difference to.







  • I looked into my router’s datasheet and all I can say is that it either doesn’t have it or they didn’t care to write it in (home model, nobody cares about details).

    Also, the settings interface doesn’t have any reference, neither is the Transmit Power field saying “Max Transmit Power” (which would have lead me to believe that it may reduce the power in certain cases), so I am going to go with “No”, considering how old it is










  • You will need a barrel, a rope and a pulley on a pole. Oh and something to make holes in a barrel with.

    To compile:

    • rope the barrel and lay the rest of the rope over the pulley
    • drive the pole into the ground next to your desired source of water
    • optionally, keep the barrel’s lid openable
    • make holes in the barrel in a convenient position, such that the holes will face downwards when you eventually mast the barrel

    To charge:

    • Set the barrel in the water source and wait until the barrel is full of water (optionally open the lid at this point)
    • If you optionally opened the lid before, then mandatorily close the lid, now
    • Pull the rope from the other side of the pulley such that the barrel goes up
    • Let the water pour from the barrel and have fun with the shower
