20.06.2026 Wi-Fi Access Point.

 ~?~

  Saturday 20th 66F/19C. Overcast, overnight rain. Thundery shower possible. Brightening later. Peaking at 26C/79F. 72F/22C in the room. 69F/21C in the greenhouse. The southern house windows are wet from rain blowing through the greenhouse skylights. I don't remember that ever happening before. 

 Up at 7am after a fair night attending the fire bucket. I have coughed a couple of times but nothing dramatic. I hope I am finally on the mend.

 8.00 My parcel arrived. I can play with the outdoor Wi-Fi and robot mower at last. It was interesting to see the car appear earlier. Thanks to moving the camera. I shall definitely move it further. 

 Hours later I am still struggling to make the new toy work. Meanwhile the software App will no longer launch. Probably password confusion. I deleted the app and it all started working.

So I did a walk along the drive and around the West Lawn. To scan the Wi-Fi signal using the WiFiman app on my phone. This is with the new Access Point hanging upside down, upstairs on the landing. I really need a 20m network cable to reach a better position. Preferably outside, to avoid attenuation from the roof. 

Now I have to go shopping. Having run out of essentials. No rolls left for lunch and no milk.

 I went shopping and came back late. Had lunch and then felt fuzzy. Needed to lie down.

 The afternoon was spent trying different things with the Wi-Fi. Wandering up and down on the drive. The same old fart on the security cameras. Scanning for signal strength. With the Access Point in various positions indoors.  

 As I made a proper dinner last night I went for toast again. I feel it eases the burden. Not in cooking but in stuffing my face. So dinner was cheese on toast.
