    Why does Wifi cost so much power?

    Since the release of new MacBook Pros I have a question in mind: why does Wifi cost so much power? 14inch MacBook Pro, "Up to 17 hours Apple TV app movie playback, Up to 11 hours wireless web". 16inch MacBook Pro, "Up to 21 hours Apple TV app movie playback, Up to 14 hours wireless web"...

    How to share wifi from iOS 15?

    While this is not strictly PPC problem but rather common to old OS, I guess I have higher chances to get a reply here. After iOS 15.3.1 update iPhone hotspot began to be detected on 10.6 and lower as 802.1x network, and Mac consequently asks for Username/Password, while in reality of course no...

    Hardware Q: Upgrading wifi module in 2015 MBP 15in

    I'm sure I know the answer to this already but thought to ask minds more knowledgable... Can the wifi module in the 2015 MBP (A1398/11,5) be upgraded to an ax/Wifi 6 version? This isn't as unlikely as it might sound. It was possible to do this with earlier MBPs. But all I can find while...

    NAS Storage with WiFi

    I've been told that a 10TB NAS storage can connect to WiFi and my MacBook and other laptops can connect to it over WiFi seamlessly. I mean, if this setup can work properly then I won't need to go for a 2TB/8TB configured MacBook Pro in the future as I can connect it to all my laptops acting as...

    Can I stop using 'broadcast SSID' and MAC addresses? Really?

    Looking at a doc on the Apple site it seems that I don't need to hide my SSID or use MAC addressing anymore. Is that correct/advisable? I'm about to set up a new router, but will need to use WPA2 security due to the age of my attached kit. Does Apple's advice still apply, or are they really...
