The surprising order means any new Wi-Fi router models sold in the country must be US-made, or receive an exemption from the Pentagon or Homeland Security Department.

    Just go read up on networking and you’ll realize that wouldn’t make sense.

    That right there is you being an asshole. If that’s who you are, that’s fine, but at least be honest about it. I know I’m an asshole, so you’re not hurting my feelings any by turning it back on me.

    If you would like to not be an asshole, a good start would be to accept that you don’t know everything, and just because your experience differs from mine doesn’t mean I’m wrong. It’s fully possible what I observed between 30 and 15 years ago was unusual, or maybe it was common then but isn’t now- and if you had led with that, I might have conceded that you may at least have more current knowledge than I. It’s also possible I didn’t explain myself clearly enough, and we’re just misunderstanding each other- a layer 8 problem, if you will.

    you think the modem is broadcasting your computer’s MAC address.

    Well, considering I was seeing arp packets from mac addresses of every other machine on my segment pretty much continuously, what conclusion would you come to?

      Telling you to go learn isn’t being an asshole no matter how much you think it is. Go bother someone else with your ignorance.
