I worked with 1200 baud modems over dialup phone lines to take a download from Seattle to Tinker for Boeing for their access control panel. It took over 8 hours. I had to sit there and listen to the static and bleeps and blurps. Oh, and when someone accidently picked up the phone and punched my line after 6 hours in I was fit to be tied. Even after warning all of them not to touch that line. I fixed em. I took of the connector wires to their PBX 66 block so they couldn't touch it again. After the third attempt at download went through, I punched it back down. From then on it was protocol to unhook the phones during a download.One other thing... compared to dialup, this is lighning fast.
When downloading files on dialup, the speed usually ran 3-4 kbps. The best I recall was around 5.6 kbps or so, and that was only once.
The Hotspot connects at 72 kbps.
Two things I've seen with cell phones.Well... turns out the hit & miss is all miss now. The security first got flaky as a breakfast cereal, then stopped working altogether. I've rebooted both the computer and the phone multiple times.
Is there a way on the phone to choose/limit which clients can log on to the hotspot?
Lol, 30 years of computer experience beat down by a 3"x6" piece of plastic.
EDIT: I just now "hid" my device (phone), so alledgedly no one can connect without knowing the name of the hotspot. Best I know to do at this point.
Lol, you probably hit it on both counts.Two things I've seen with cell phones.
1. Your app that was working fine all last year no longer works because you have not:
Updated your phone
Updated your app after you updated your phone
2. Your app that was working fine all last year no longer works because you have:
Updated your app before updating your phone
Updated your phone
Remember service packs in Windows that added several 3rd world countries to it's communication protocols that wiped out existing computers communications to their hosts? That little update cost millions of companies billions of dollars in service because we had to roll back all the computers to their previous service packs.
It means I was more/less a computer guru around the turn of the century... and like so many other things, those days have passed.I have no idea what any of that means ... Lol
