I retired from the board and the kids enjoy teasing me for using Sneaker net. So I decided to start simple and build up. It’s all about connecting locally or on the same Wi-Fi network (home router). Yes, I’ve seen this too, but it worked just fine for my needs. I’m just checking the speeds and making sure everything is secure. Thanks a lot—it proved it can work. As long as no one joins my Wi-Fi and steals the key, I should be safe. Unless they want a million pictures of my basset hound being silly.
