Sometimes you need to move files between devices, and it’s often been quite a hassle to just being able to get a file from a Windows machine to an iPad or from Linux to a Mac laptop.
My most common case has often been to move files between MacOS and Android - and while Wifi File Explorer Pro has worked, it’s always seemed a little clumsy. It basically create a webserver on the Android device with a simple but quite usable interface.
The home network finally got an upgrade. The uplink from the house is a 1G/1G fiber connection with Hiper as ISP. Wifi was running of a Google Wifi (1gen) network with 3 nodes in a network. It worked, but with Wifi being somewhat aged no device on wifi would be able to utilize the full bandwidth :(
This is just a brief post on the plan, the equipment and the future plans for this new Ubiquiti network.
Sure it doesn’t happen that often, but sometimes you might need to change the IP number of your machine running Ubuntu. Either to configure it with a static IP number on your LAN or temporarily to configure a Wifi router - the latter being my case.
The first shot at changing the ip number, was going to the “System” menu, choosing Administration and Network Tools. It sounded just about right - but it’s wrong. Sure you view settings and some statistics, but it’s all read only.
