🔍 A Little Background
- Running loads of video encoders for 3Speak means I’m basically the “video chef” of Hive. 🍳🎥
- Encoder Systems systems churning out encodes day and night – with electricity (and its backup!), plus Tata Fiber internet. 🔋⚡
- But then... Pune rain said, "Let there be fiber cuts." 🌧️✂️
- Users endured endless waiting, and my inbox: “Why so sloooow?” 😵💫
- After one too many queues, I said: NO MORE! ⛔ Let’s fix this!
🤔 Another Backup Internet?
- Thought: "Two fibers = double fun?" But what if both get “snipped” in the next monsoon? 🌧️🔎
- Sales agents everywhere swarming faster than my internet could load – but who truly listened? 🤷♂️
- Finally, one sales champ whispered: “Try air fiber?” Now we’re cooking! 🍳🛜
📡 Enter: Air Fiberrrrr!
- Google says: Airfiber is wireless broadband. No cables. Goodbye, fiber naps! 🎆📡
- No cables = no fiber cuts = only needs electricity ⚡🔌
- Who wouldn’t want that? I was all in! 🙌
- Of course, slightly expensive than regular fiber connection 💸
🧑💼 Sales Guy With Excuses
- Excuse level: 🥇 Sir, only for cable-less places!
- Sir, must do feasibility study 🧐
- Sir, sir, sir… can’t. (Was this a sales call or a government office?) 😁
- Pulled my trump card: “But Jio gave me an air fiber quote!” (Fake it till you make it? 🤫)
- Sales guy: “Jio isn’t in your area, sir,” mic drop ☎️🚫
🦸♀️ Wife To The Rescue
- Pro tip from wife: "Stop calling. Fill the online form. Let them chase you!" 💡
- Two minutes later: Submission complete.
- Twenty minutes later: “Sir, may we do a feasibility check?” 🤯
- Three hours later: Technician arrived – “Antenna here okay?” YES! Please, install and save my sanity! 🚀
- Never underestimate online forms… or a wife’s common sense.
🔌 Got Connection... But Wait!
- KYC: done ✔️
- Installation: done ✔️
- But “few hours” = all day ⏳
- Next day: “Sir, please test.” Uh… that’s 2 hours away! (Ever tried fighting Pune traffic? 🐢)
- So what now?
📲 Update Defaults Like a Pro
- Airtel app lets you update wifi name & password from your phone. Magic. 🪄📱
- Remotely changed SSID & password without being anywhere near the device. 🙏
- Bonus: Remote access to all 3Speak encoder nodes! 🖥️
🐧 Ubuntu Tips: Switching WiFi via CLI!
- Need to switch to backup WiFi without being there? Enter the magic of CLI!
List all available WiFi networks:
sudo nmcli dev wifi list
- Output looks like this:
Connect to new network:
sudo nmcli device wifi connect “SECONDARY_SSID” password “SECONDARY_PASS” ifname wlan1
- Swap in your WiFi name and password. 🔑
