Slept in due to more sleeping issues. I think I might be falling into a bimodal or interrupted sleep pattern. Patrick made breakfast for me: swiss cheese omelet, one hash brown, one sausage link, one slice of toast with butter. Attempted to resolve our trash problem by sorting the top layer of trash properly but discovered issues that need to be discussed with the upstairs unit. Laundry. Cut my hair, showered. Lunch at home with Patrick: pizza from frozen, we split one cola Zevia soda. Cleaned the mirror hanging mess from yesterday. Vacuumed. Folded laundry. Dinner at home with Patrick: Green Chef Italian meatballs and orzo with creminis, lacinato kale, tomatoes, fresh herbs; we split one ginger ale Zevia soda. Removed the Sonic Pace wifi router and installed a TP-Link Archer C7 wifi router. The process was easy except for the drive sharing. It recognized my WD My Passport Ultra as "volume1," but when I tried to set up the drive for sharing it created the shared folder which appeared empty even though I knew it had lots of files on it. I gave up for now trying to get it to work. This will enable us to return the Sonic Pace router to Sonic; we had been renting it for $10/month, and I hadn't gotten around to doing this until now. At the same time I also reorganized the networking equipment and laid new grip liner on top of our bookshelves where the equipment is stored. Speed test from a 2012 MacBook Air over ethernet with the Archer C7 on our Sonic gigabit fiber internet was 744 Mbps down, 107 Mbps up. Same MacBook Air over wifi from two rooms over: 50 Mbps down, 49 Mbps up. From my 2012 iMac over wifi from two rooms over: 179 Mbps down, 94 Mbps up.
