Many years ago I thought that Alex Trebek was the smartest man in the world. After all, he knew the answers to everything! Well, it turns out the answers are fed to him. I know, right? Who knew? Now I wonder who told him to shave his mustache. My point is, it only seemed like Alex Trebek knew everything. Likewise, it is only natural that each month, I tend to choose wireless networking questions for which I think there’s a good chance I know what to say.


But, I also receive questions that are real stumpers. Some are stumpers because they ask for the impossible, like “can you tell me the password to my neighbor’s Wi-Fi network?” No, I can’t, even if I knew it (which I don’t). Others are more like head-scratchers. I may have an inkling what the problem might be, but can’t really be sure. Enter the wisdom of the crowd. So this month, we take a look at a few questions that I kinda maybe perhaps have a thought or two about, but could really use your input on.
