On a serious note though, I've lost count of times I've seen complaints about Wi-Fi where the Router in question is either in the corner of a house, in a closed cupboard, or near obvious sources of potential interference (Subwoofers are great, just not for placing a router on top of). Of course, the laws of physics never apply when going on a rant however!

Whilst I agree with you wholeheartedly, for Enterprise WiFi that I install, cupboards are often the only place allowed in listed buildings! We do, however, pre-check the signal level we'll obtain in the desired areas and set the users' expectations.

The main issue with cupboards is unlikely propagation to a different level of the property. For Enterprise WiFi we just stick another AP in upstairs and ensure that we don't have more than 3 APs within 80 dBm of each other.

Indeed, but as you said, you not only explain the consequences of this requirement but you also mitigate it if possible.

If only such pragmatism was a little bit more commonplace!

No biggie.

Bad equine. You could do with some tidying up there.

However, you can replace them yourself with a Valid SSL cert. You can get a free one from StartSSL, though of course you'll have to have your own domain. Everyone should own a domain though.

Mea maxima culpa - but still w.i.p as they say... many thanks to Dave,Carl and yourself. Yes "ggrider.co.uk" (and others) has been around for over a decade, unfortunately SSL certs have proved somewhat problematic on old DS411J box and current testing & migration to new DS415+ is still ongoing.

However as Dennis Norden used to say: "It'll be alright on the night" ....except of course I'm apparently on a different planet to everyone else so here on Venus, night takes approx 243 Days to arrive.....

Huh... you been talking to Barbara! (so now the Home Cinema has "nagging in Dolby 7-1 Surround" as well?). She's lovely really, although I'm not quite sure how I'm going to explain the email from King Arthur (aka TivoTrials) yesterday requesting I accommodate his wife in the near future either.... bit cramped in that corner!

That on top of the 869MHz LifeLine24 (Telecare) system I now have to setup for my elderly parents.... lucky I'm 20 miles South of Gatwick ILS systems I suppose otherwise DTI/BT would be ringing my wireless door bell asking for their RF spectrum back!

Hopefully someone will release a Syno package that hooks into Let's encrypt's automated SSL gubbins and remove the issue. Or synology can bundle it in directly, no reason for self-signed certs in this day and age, at least until HTTP Public Key Pinning becomes more widespread.

@Kush dunno about hooks as I'm neither a boxer nor a fisherman but the proliferation of Syno and MBP/Webroot AES 128/256 encryption packages mean's it's doddle to encrypt mail/docs/files anyway! Getting hold of 2048 AES Encryption (free/cheap) is slightly more problematic though....

Whilst that's very re-assuring you haven't found it either ( I think you missed the point? )

Nope? I think you're talking about file/symmetric encryption whereas I was talking about SSL certificates. Either way there's still no such thing as 2048bit AES.
