Just finished collimating my telescope. It needed done badly now that I got a new mount and tri-pier.

I've been meaning to ask how your setup is going.
Have you been able to get out with it lately?

Well, to sum it up: They've slapped on a new coat of paint and shuffled the furniture.

Stuck at home waiting on a repairman for the fridge, so I ordered coffee. Something called a "Crackaccino" is on its way.

I know of a coffee roaster who sells a blend called 'crack'

@nadnerB Haven't had that much bad luck with them as switches goes and they have lasted more than Dell and HP for us.

When other people have bought TP-Link kit, it's been pretty good.
At work (pre-merger) we had some things that APs, switch etc, they seemed to keep going.
Opposite story at home I've had, i think I'm up to, 3 DOA modem routers, and one that was dieing a slow death. IMO, I have bad luck with TP-Link, so I've stopped buying their stuff.

Other people don't seem to have the issue.

Pains me to say - I may be going 'consumer grade' for a router as I now find that my 16port switch is lost as well.

This is due to cost and turn around.

You can still find 16 port switches for reasonable cost, they're just harder to find. I recently got a 16 port PoE TPLink switch from Amazon that wasn't overpriced or impossible to actually get.

Why would you consider consumer grade routers? At the very least, you can get ER-X from MicroCenter. There are a few other quality options around that are better than consumer c*** now as well.

I have bad luck with tp link
