It's bad enough to run a voting ring and astroturf the comment threads, but abusing other users on top of that is right out. We've banned all the new accounts that voted for this story and buried the repost that was on the front page.

HN makes your username name show green when you're green. Like yours is.

1) Your name is green, which (as I googled only just an hour ago, coincidentally) means it was created in the last 5 days, and

2) Clicking your profile shows "created: 9 minutes ago"

Simple, but very useful. Most people don't know how to improve Wi-Fi in their house aside from adding a wireless repeater (which reduces your bandwidth). We need more routers like this so people stop experiencing bad internet at home.

This seems to offer a similar, home mesh like Meraki does.

I presume however that eero's will still suffer the same issue that a Meraki (or any mesh for that matter) could and that is too many hops between non-wired AP's. Is that the case here?
