Please choose from the two contemporary design styles for your wifi hardware: “rounded soft box with white light” or “satanic death cult blood sacrifice altar”

@sdw either one of those or poor wifi signal, is it?

A Light Shining in Darkness

@sdw

Can one pay for the satanic one with a used soul?

@fzer0 @sdw If it was an octagon, you could light candles on each antenna, and summon Death himself.

@sdw satanic death cult blood sacrifice altar please

@sdw There's also a Star Wars variant of theme 2, may I present Darth WiFi:

screambiogenesis

@sdw The second type always look like dead bugs to me. But like, unnecessarily aggressive dead bugs.

I went for the third style myself. Dinner Plates Glued To The Ceiling.

@sdw as a previous owner of the alter, and a current owner of a rounded box, I can safely say I prefer the alter, better noise management for the WiFi and the blood doesn't get literally everywhere

DELETED

@sdw the small UFO. I can even turn the light off from the management console.

@nthp @sdw And an access point works even better if you place it high and central on the ceiling, although this location might be good enough depending on the circumstances.

It's really weird we live in a world where most private households try to cover their houses with WiFi signals from all-in-one boxes tucked away somewhere because they're horrible to look at, are broadcasting SSIDs at 2.4 GHz and their owners complaining about the bad WiFi quality.

@sdw *looks at AVM* All i can get you is red with grey accents, as functional as it can be.
(Yeah i know, new ones are white with red accents)

@sdw FritzBoxes seem to ignore all trends.

looopTools

@sdw I have always wanted to pimp the style on the right with warhammer figures to actually making it look like a blod sacrifice altar

Giorgino Lab

@sdw To me it looks like the white one is just a plastic box covering over a router like the black one

@sdw Netgear likes to pretend their satanic death cult ones are modelled after stealth fighter planes but I think we all know deep down what's going on.

Nibor4000

@sdw Whichever one has blinking lights so you can see when/if data is moving [fingers crossed it's the black one]

spaceape

@sdw If you got the black one prepare for visitors 🙂

Normal :jo_2: :v_enby:

@sdw omg lmfao

can you add some alt-text? this is hella funny

@sdw Ironically, the soft-cornered white box is actually the torment nexus.

Valentijn Sessink

@sdw biggest problem: at the moment, relieving your soul by installing OpenWRT is easier on some of the Satanic ones. I tried to find a proper low cost (<€150) OpenWRT flashable rounded soft box, but didn't find one.

@sdw #ALT4you: two wifi routers matching the description sitting next to each other

Rafal

@sdw to me this is more solarpunk vs cyberpunk (the first one has a perfect spot for a flowerpot)

The Dupdob

@sdw I have both.
I am pro diversity.

Leeloo

@sdw
Only one of them allows you to fold the antennas down, sharpen them and use it to defend against a horde of zombies like a predator frisbee.

JimmyChezPants

@sdw

Motion to replace "you're either a Beatles Guy or a Stones Guy" with these two routers.
