Update: After wiring my new house for internet, I found that turning off WPS on the router just causes more problems than it fixes.

Honestly, my whole Wi-Fi journey with the new place has been one long headache. I spent a fortune on those mesh nodes, only to find a dead zone in the kitchen where my smart kettle drops out. Turns out the wiring behind the fridge is a whole other problem, so now I'm looking at powerline adapters instead. It never ends.

But why does the kettle even need Wi-Fi?

Wow Mary, is the smart kettle really that big of a deal? It feels like we're chasing perfect signals for stuff that doesn't need it... A dead zone for a kettle just means you have to press a button, which is what we did for like a hundred years. Sometimes I wonder if the headache comes from wanting everything connected all the time, not from the actual problem.
