Was looking through my previous entries about home internet performance. Realized I had not checked the house's wifi performance lately, nor on how this latest Debian Workstation laptop was doing.
Current home internet access is the combination of Spectrum cable internet-only service, their most-bandwidth service that is available for where we live (as we have a family of five constantly sharing it), connected to a home Google Mesh wifi that has a base node and two satellite nodes. Using WPA2 for wifi network security. Current home Debian laptop workstation is a lenovo yogac930.

Wow, cannot complain! Feel spoiled even!

(With humility, I can still remember the days when home internet access for me was using a 36k modem and dialup via the telephone.)
