  • One thing to consider. When the stocks that are part of a mutual fund drop… then your retirement contributions will be buying them on sale.

    Assuming the mutual funds are spread out to minimize risk (1 of the funds companies folds, etc) overall you’ll be better off long term.

    As you age you’ll start moving your investments to more stable options (talk to a financial adviser on the specifics for your plans). This way they that won’t benefit from huge gains but also are a lot less likely to be wiped out by massive drops.

    In the meantime look at how your funds are doing over time. Not even year to year but maybe every 2 or 3 years.






  • If a person is at the intro/intermediate level that advice may be sound enough. Since they’re less likely to apply proper rules to include those ranges of IP’s etc.

    Assuming it’s advising disabling it at the router/switch level and not just a per device level.

    Better would be to explain: Disable this until you’re familiar with the following concepts (see cited books/material for more info)






  • Rf interference. Similar to having multiple microwaves running near your router, or those old rf based baby monitors.

    Congested the 2.4 or 5gz spectrum with noise causing noise and retransmits or outright stopping the wifi from working.

    If you have an old radio that does AM find a AM channel that isn’t broadcasting and bring it near your router. You can actually “hear” the noise those things are putting out.
