As I was setting up my new computer, I download the Airport Utility for my router so I would be able to change any settings in the future. Of course the old settings in the router are not read, it just wants to start over like a first time setup. Sigh.
So I figured it was a good time to change my Wifi name to my company's initials. And I set up a guest network with a easy password for the folks that visit.
One of the things that changed was my Ooma telephone system. It uses WiFi to connect, and it was lost. So I try to configure that. With the old computer handy, I plugged in the Cat6 cable right from the computer to the Ooma telco box, and it was still seeing the old network, and did not see any new networks. Just delete the old network, and scan for networks. Dang there are lots of wireless networks in my neighborhood now. Of course I just added a guest network, and while I was at it a 5GHz band network that maybe will be free of some of the potential interference of the other networks.
