[SOLVED] Yousee damn weak wifi signal and an ultraslow connection

After a bit of research I found out why Yousee's signal sucks. The wifi signal from the router is ridiculously weak.

I gave up on the lousy Yousee modem and bought a router: Asus RT-AC66U B1. Now that's a different story.

The speed went from max 20mbs to 120mbs after attaching a router to the modem.

I still don't understand why Yousee sell such a lousy router. They get complaints about speed all of the time. Why sell an ok connection with a impotent router?

The next step is to set the YouSee router in bridge mode.

Linux: MS Teams - and Office 365

These Corona-days we often meet on MS Teams at work. So a version on my Linux system could come in handy.

Just for the hell of it, I tried to find a MS Teams client in Arch Linux (Manjaro). To my surprise it was available. To my even greater surprise it worked like a charm. Thanx Microsoft.

At log in I could select my Logitech c920 webcam and the Thronmax usb microphone. I just had to allow the usage.

The only caveat was a screen share that did not work, because my wifi connection is terrible. That was certainly not a Microsoft issue, but rather something I want to discuss with Yousee (it's the never ending story: connection sucks, complain, then it works for at week or two, then the connection is horrible again).

By the way - I got the whole package: mail, calendar etc. etc.

Cool!

[Possible solution ??] YouSee Google Chrome Cast

I guess that this is kind of a solution for Chromecast on YouSee:

1. Unplug the Chromecast - both cables must be removed.
2. Turn on the TV
3. Plug in the Chromecast.
4. Wait

With a little luck the chromecast will connect to the correct network.

I hope that this is the solution. 

YouSee Supporters don't know anything about LAN

Trying to get some useful info from YouSee. They block the LAN, so my computers cannot communicate. I cannot ping. So this may explain why the Chromecast is lost again and again. As a consequence I'll have to find a better web provider.

A service guy tried to help me. But he could not. He did not know what a LAN is at all. In the end he suggested, that I should shut down the modem, and then my LAN would work he suggested. No further questions were necessary. The YouSee supporters apparantly don't know anything about simple web techlology.

If you know a better service provider than YouSee let me know in the comments.

Unfortunately my conclusion is:

YouSee sucks big time if you want to do something "advanced". Like setting up a server om a localhost ... So basicly the service is expensive and useless.
