HAH ! pldts' old modem zyxel p600 w/o wifi (2009) conkout.
replaced new one with a built-in wifi...
what happened to the old wifi only broadcaster
Configuring two wireless routers with one SSID (network name)
First Router
192.168.1.1
DHCP to use the range 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.254
A wireless channel like 11
Second Router
192.168.1.2
DHCP is disabled
Identical wireless security setup as First Router
Except the wireless Channel. Try channel 6 if the first is 11.
Plug hard-wire into the LAN port, not the WAN port.
Make sure the wireless settings of the second router is the same as the first router. Same SSID, same security type, same password. The only difference will be the channel. Moreover, we'll want to make sure the channels are sufficiently far apart...turn off your first (primary) wireless router completely. Routers aren't expecting folks to do what we're doing, so when you turn on the second router it will also default to 192.168.1.1. You're turning off the first so the second can be changed.
Turn on the second router and set its static IP address to 192.168.1.2. Under IP Address Distribution, set it to "disabled." It's important that you don't have TWO devices on your network passing out IP Addresses. This second router will only be bridging the wireless and wired world at your house. It has no responsibilities around IP addresses.
super fast, no hiccups due to multi wifi connections
(Y) maximize the signal and boost power !

192.168.1.1

The easy, free way to get Windows 11 on your old computer

Windows 10 support has ended, and if your PC can't run Windows 11, that might have been it for your old PC and Windows. But... there's one clever tool that can get Windows 11 running on your old PC, thanks to a simple loophole.

FlyOOBE uses Microsoft's own back door
This loophole is in the official documentation

FlyOOBE is a simple patcher to remove annoying hardware restrictions that prevent Windows 11 from running on older hardware. Even if Windows 11 doesn't support your CPU because it lacks TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot, FlyOOBE lets you install Windows 11 25H2 anyway.

The tool does this through a feature of the Windows 11 setup process that uses the Windows Server variant of the installation. Unlike a regular Windows 11 install, the server variant doesn't impose the same hardware requirements and skips most hardware compatibility checks. This means you can run Windows 11 on most unsupported systems without needing sketchy command line commands that may or may not work.

Even though the setup runs in server mode, it still installs regular Windows 11, meaning the final result and your experience are no different. It's surprisingly easy to use since it automates the downloading and mounting of a Windows 11 ISO file automatically, so you don't need to tweak anything. The latest version even supports the Windows Media Creation Tool as a download source.

This method is the same as described in the official Windows documentation for upgrading unsupported systems. This means it'll likely continue to work, unlike other methods that are often loopholes Microsoft closes sooner or later. It's completely free to download, and the source code is available on the official GitHub repository.

Compared to other ways of bypassing Windows 11's hardware requirements, FlyOOBE is the easiest to use and requires little to no technical expertise. All you have to do is follow these simple steps:

You might see a Windows SmartScreen filter when you first run FlyOOBE. This is completely normal; you can proceed with the installation by clicking the More info button and then Run anyway.

Download the ZIP archive containing the latest version of FlyOOBE from the GitHub repository's release page. Extract the archive and run FlyOOBE.exe.
Once the FlyOOBE Upgrading Assistant opens up, it'll check for CPU POPCNT and SSE4.2 support. If both are supported, your upgrade probability is very high; click the Start Upgrade Now button to get started.
Next, you'll have to select a download source for downloading the Windows 11 ISO using a dropdown on the right. It's recommended that you use the Download via Fido option, but you can also use the Windows Media Creation Tool or a local ISO file you may already have.
Once you select the Download via Fido option in the dropdown, a PowerShell command will run. You'll see a window asking what version, release, edition, language, and architecture of Windows you'd like to download. The default options work without any changes, so keep clicking Continue until you see the Download button, then click that to start the ISO download.
Once the ISO is downloaded, FlyOOBE should automatically start the installation process. If it doesn't, drag and drop the downloaded ISO file into the FlyOOBE window to mount it, and a Windows Server setup window will appear.
From this point, it's a standard Windows install, so click the Next button on the Windows Server install window and proceed as instructed. You can even choose to keep your files, apps, and settings intact.
Once the installation is complete, Windows 11 should boot up on your PC. If you chose to keep your files, apps, and settings, they should be exactly as they were on your Windows 10 installation.

FlyOOBE can't do everything
Two requirements Microsoft hasn't dropped — but most old PCs already pass
FlyOOBE makes installing Windows 11 on an older system as painless as it can be, but it can't do everything. Microsoft's hardware requirements aside, there are still some requirements you need to meet before Windows 11 can run on your system.

These include:

CPU POPCNT: One of Windows 11's restrictions is a requirement for the CPU POPCNT instruction. Most CPUs made after 2010 should support this, so unless you're installing Windows 11 on a really old system, you're good to go.

SSE4.2: This is another CPU instruction introduced by Intel in 2008. Almost every Intel Core i3, i5, i7, or AMD FX/Ryzen CPU supports it.
So unless you're trying to install Windows 11 on a PC that's over a decade old, you're good to go. And if you are, I'd recommend upgrading your hardware before your OS, as Windows 11 isn't going to run well on such old hardware.

While the hardware requirements are easy to pass, Microsoft claims unsupported PCs running Windows 11 aren't guaranteed to receive Windows updates. You'll likely still receive monthly security and quality updates, but there's no telling how long they'll be provided.

That said, you likely won't get major version or feature updates like 25H2 unless you install them manually. This should be a simple matter of repeating the steps mentioned above to install the latest update as a fresh Windows install. However, there's always a risk of updates being blocked in the future.

Many other people I know claimed that Windows 10 support ends, they'll leave Windows for good, and maybe that's why Microsoft has been extending the security updates. But if you want to move on, FlyOOBE can get Windows 11 running on just about any PC — for now.

Mark Zuckerberg’s reported $400 million superyacht armada is currently navigating the Galápagos Islands, one of the most heavily protected marine ecosystems in the world. Entry alone reportedly costs over $50,000, with strict conservation rules limiting almost every activity on board.

Despite the scale of luxury, the region does not bend to wealth. Eco regulations restrict the use of high-impact water toys and limit movement across sensitive areas, making this one of the rare places where even extreme fortune runs into real-world boundaries.

The Starlink V4 (often referred to as the Gen 3 or Standard Actuated) kit features a flat, high-performance, non-motorized antenna, a Wi-Fi 6 router (Gen 3), and a built-in kickstand for easier installation. It offers improved download/upload speeds and better range than previous models, with average download speeds around 150 Mbps.

Key features of the Starlink V4 (Dish & Router) include:
Hardware: The V4 dish uses a passive design with a kickstand rather than motors for positioning.
Performance: Designed for high-demand, high-speed, and low-latency, offering speeds up to 400 Mbps for some, though 150–200 Mbps is more typical.
Router (Gen 3): Offers improved range—up to 3,200 sq ft—and supports up to three Mesh Nodes. It features a 5.9 GHz band, and a vertical design.
Durability: The dish has an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, designed for harsh environments.
Power: Consumes roughly 75–100 watts.
Usage: Best for residential and fixed applications, with Starlink Performance offering an option for in-motion use.

Note: The Starlink V4 differs from the "Starlink Mini," which is a much smaller, more portable unit with a built-in router and lower power consumption.
