      Yeah could be issues with peering... Many many years ago, I have been using them for like 11 or something.. When first brought up tunnel, there was no peering with my isp at the time.. And trying to use their chicago pop routed through new york ;)

      So might be possible you get better latency with a different pop.. That has better peering with your isp or isps in the area that your isp peers with, etc..

      edit: Just looked they have a couple in Miami, FL - you could try those.. Good luck and enjoy.. While sure you can have some added latency with the tunnel, and a bit over overhead.. It is just some much better than really any isp ipv6 nonsense.. I really don't get why its so difficult for them..

        Chicago, IL, US 134 ms
        Dallas,  TX, US 158 ms
        Denver,  CO, US 158 ms

        LA,      CA, US 173 ms
        MIAMI,   FL, US 141 ms
        NY       NY, US 117 ms  <<< New York 117 ms is pretty nice
        Phoenix  AZ, US 167 ms
        Seattle  WA, US 187 ms
        Toronto  ON, CA 140 ms
        Winnipeg MB, CA 162 ms
        

        Much better than CO indeed

          Yeah all comes down to peering ;)

          From just geographic distance you would think Miami would be better than NY ;)

          Other than HI, all of those are better than the South American one - that is just crazy...

            Now getting a /48, already using two /64, one in LAN and other in WIFI.

            Why do you have your WiFi on a separate network, other than guest WiFi? The only time I've had my main WiFi separate was back in the days when I was using 802.11b and WEP. I put my WiFi on the outside of my firewall and used a VPN to access my network. Currently, I have a guest WiFi on a separate network that's not even allowed to reach anything on my other networks.

            Anyhow, that's 2 down, 46 to go. 😉

              But perhaps not the telecom distance. There are certain cities where the international carriers appear and the local carriers meet them there. However, this map shows more fibre going from Brazil to Florida than NYC.

              BTW, many years ago, when I was working for a telecom carrier, I often worked with some of the international carriers in Toronto, in the same building where he.net is.

                Because he wants it that way ;)

                I have my trusted wifi on my lan network.. But it uses eap-tls to auth.. And only "my" devices (phone, tablet) can connect. But all of my other wifi networks are on their own vlan.. Guest being 1 of them, but also 2 more for iot and media devices (roku, etc.)

                  WIFI is separated from my LAN due to pfblockerng, I was filtering only my LAN network, and leaving WIFI without any filtering..

                  I also have a personal NAS , which I don't let WIFI users to reach it.. Only port 32400 is allowed for Plex access.

                  Unfortunately Guest network (VLAN20) is disabled since a long time..
                  Back in the days before the pandemic I used to make a barbecue with friends once a week and they used the GUEST WIFI, hope those days come back..

                  If I receive friends today, they will have WPA3, and IPv6 hehe :)

                    Something I ran into - maybe it would effect you. I had turned my guest ssid to wpa3 only.. This broke the qr code I had printed on cards for guest to use. If manually added the network it worked just fine.

                    I had to enable transition mode where wpa2 was on the same ssid.. If your device is wpa3 capable it says it uses that via what my phone says (developer profile on iphone).. But when it was wpa3 only - the qr code would not work, unable to join network.

                    Just in case you might be doing the same sort of thing with qr codes.. Friends don't like typing in 20+ character psks ;) hehehe

                      hmm, nice to know, I didn't test the QR code feature yet, usually I give them the password in the old way, old school password share :)

                        Yeah I started a thread over on their forums about it

                        https://community.ui.com/questions/wpa3-qr-code-generation/538e4658-37e7-46a3-882d-ec46ad722744

                        It's gotten a few responses - but no actual solution.

                          I guess you'll have to show your guests the QR code on your phone or print new cards.

                          The password for my main WiFi is 63 random characters, from www.grc.com, but my guest WiFi is only 10. My Sharp Roku TV is on the guest WiFi, because it won't accept 63 characters (try entering that using the TV remote!).

                              No I don't think its that - I don't think there is anything in place currently for qr codes and wpa3..

                              As I said, I just enabled both wpa2 and wpa3 on the ssid and it works, and the phone shows its using wpa3..

                              I wish it was as simple as just creating a new qr code.. If you know somewhere or app that create such a qr.. Please share.

                                It is a pretty recent thread, two days, maybe it will be fixed in the next release

                                  I don't think its really anything to do with the AP firmware.. So I don't think they will be able to fix it.. From what a few were saying has to do with the different auth that wpa3 uses..

                                  Not sure - have not dug that deep into yet. I was really hoping to just have guest be limited to wpa3.. But I will live with this compromise.. Just thought give you a heads up if you were doing the same thing.. And you had friends come over - and you get hey this qr code thing isn't working ;)
