      And I have no idea why It wont adopt. or what's actually happening here. but I got to get this figured out.
      FML.

      Where are you trying to adapt it to? Where will the controller software live for this install? I'm assuming that this AP will be on the private network, assuming you're still doing that?

      yes.
      right now I have it installed on my laptop.

        Let me take this off of this thread. I'll start another one or add to the other.

          It's amazing all the meetings you do with big vendors who were clearly not prepared for people to work effectively from home.

          People trying to do really silly things like use RingCentral as a soft phone and can't make needed calls because they are already in meetings on their computer all of the time.

          This is why you have desk phones and soft phones on your cell phones, people! We can make so many calls at once, using the business infrastructure. Even the tiniest of companies can and should have this stuff. It's so cheap.

            ok, just got asked to help out with how much each person owes for a gas bill, easy I thought, no, I'm stumped.

            bill total = 110.26. 4 people. billing cycle = 62 days.

            person 1 was in the house for 6 days
            person 2 & 3 were in the house for 56 days
            person 4 was in the house for 62 days

            show me how to work that out.

              $110.26 / 180 = $.612555556 per unit.

              Person 1: $3.68
              Person 2: $34.30
              Person 3: $34.30
              Person 4: $37.98

              Ta da.

                              Yeah... why are they doing that stuff in this day and age? We have loads of tiny customers that were prepared for this and have hard phones so that working from home means actually working from home. So many employers see the home office as as day off or half assed work and it shows.

                                @scottalanmiller That's only because they want control. If my boss sees the amount I work at home he would be asking me to stop working because I do more at home. Even my wife would tell you that. Constant meetings is a problem for me in the office.

                                  yes, this ^^^ I am more productive working from home, I get more support requests and complete more tasks than at work. I bypass breaks and take shorter lunch breaks, start earlier and work later.

                                    "Wanting control" is in direct opposition to "running a business."

                                    Putting control in front of profits and business is definitively anti-business. Which is my point... hobby behaviour, not business behaviour.

                                      listened to an interesting discussion on the radio the other week about the personality of management.

                                      In a nutshell, people who hold management positions tend have higher degrees of narcissism in their personality than non managers, raising to the level of psychopathy in people like CEOs and the like.

                                      this is why letting people work out of the office upsets some managers, you're taking away their control, by removing their ability to oversee staff.

                                        Oh yes, I am agreeing with you
                                        but that is the case for a lot of business which is not right.

                                          That's not really it. I don't think. I think it exposes that their jobs were unneeded and that they don't' have any skills or value. Being exposed makes people upset.

                                            Sitting in an empty office building, listening to a conference call. My presence is required on the call, but my participation was limited to 5 minutes about an hour and half ago. Nobody ordered work snacks since everyone is work from home.
