  • So, no… but also yes.

    You’re correct that it’s unlikely that the device connecting to the network would be able to reach the outside Internet, but it would still be able to reach any local resource to itself, which is to say any other device which is in its network segment and also in the same state (DHCPless) that it is, via what’s referred to as a link-local address. These are in the 169.254.x.x/16 or fe80::/10 space and allow devices to self-assign addresses independent of upstream connectivity for communication on the local network segment. Usually, these aren’t useful, but these address are consistent, and can be used to directly contact known local hosts from your machine without DHCP. As to whether or not they can reach upstream hosts in this state, the answer is ‘probably not’, but that’s not the same as what you said.

  • A mesh system isn’t, strictly speaking, needed, but turning that extender into a first-class participant in the network is. Swapping the extender for anything that can broadcast an ssid (Access point or any home router) and extending the wired network to it (cat5/6 across the attic/crawlspace ftw) would also resolve the problem, albeit exchanging the cost savings of not buying a full mesh system for labor installing the new wire.

    I think the joke here was that, like jimbob in the gif, Daphne wasn’t actually being attacked the Klanners at the time. The ‘its coming right for me’ is being used to justify killing the target(s), the ram(?) in jimbob’s case, the Klanners in Daphne.

    Also like Jimbob, no crime was depicted in either image, only justified self defense as would be recognized by a jury of their peers.

    EDIT: Jimbo not jimbob lmao
