Do you think this board could be used for a wifi gateway?

@NeverDie Thanks for your time and good work!
I was thinking on start fiddling with the nrf52, but after the reading I don't know if I would handle it.

RE: FTDI No more?posted in General Discussion
In fact, I had updates blocked using a group policy, and it worked for a while. But someday I noticed that the PC was turning itself on while I was not there. I thought it was the cat hitting the keyboard so I deactivated mouse and keyboard wake up and powering while off. But it didn't help. I also discarded wake on lan because the PC was doing it even without lan cable.
One day I saw that updates where happening and I realized that windows was turning the computer on for it. And then this message saying "we'll run updates when we find your computer is so behind on them" appeared below the one indicating that I blocked then by group policy, in updates screen. And last week, the computer was up to date.
So that's the way it is.Even if you create firewall rules, I think they'll surpass them for their sake. I have opnsense as router/firewall, and I saw that now mistersoft uses thirty party cdns for their updates, so blocking them may be also a problem.

@gerard-van-seventer Thanks Gerard for the hint on version. I wonder how you manually choose betwenn drives in windows. I guess you simply uninstall the existing when the device is present and then install the wanted one?

@yveaux Thanks! Good point. I'll first give another go to the scanner and try with a lower channel.

Messages drop, messed topology?posted in Troubleshooting
I'm trying to improve my nrf24 network range, that currently is worse than shit (in good manners) and I'm having really strange issues that I think could not be related to radio power.
For testing I have an esp8266 gateway (pa+lna,isolated+dedicated power), a custom power meter on steroids (regular nrf, good dedicated power) that has been connected for months and then one board that I wanted to use for a met station (regular nrf & phone batt powered, design from oh.io).
I'm using the 108 channel to avoid interference from some time ago and before I could not make work anything.
The power node is at clear sight at, say 7 meters. Gw at the ceiling of a "balcony" second floor, PwMeter in a wall at the lower floor. was working with no problems.
The met station I can't separate to a meter from the gw that it doesn't sync. I tried swapping radios, isolation and antenna mods without success. Other nodes seemed to have similar problems. Even my garage door controller that runs a good power source and pa+lna It can't communicate only through a floor.
That's one problem.So I thought of using a mysRGBW node as a repeater for the met station and I put it on the next room. Then the met.station linked, but the power meter not. So I powered all down and removed the new aggregations and left gw+power.meter. Now it seems like pm tries to register to the network, but the gw it's loosing messages. Looses half of the presentation and then the node halts. When it succeeds, it regularly misses some SET messages. I realized that it survives the presentation when domoticz is not started and those hearbeat messages are not around.
What those things can be caused?

RE: FTDI No more?posted in General Discussion
Yes, I think it must be a windows native driver that tried to self install, something "Prolific..." alike. But when I came to the updates history, it showed as a fail.
I could try with my wifes laptop, but it's also win10.
I'll have to bring a fresh windows 7 in an htpc board I have around.Do anyone knows what's the latest working version of the brand drivers, and perhaps have a copy to send me?

RE: FTDI No more?posted in General Discussion
@bjacobse My system gets all the updates. That means at least one major every month. So identifying the culprit or going back can be impossible, as I wasn't using those devices for a while. Sure that's the problem.
Althought I've been raising a new ubuntu VM in my esxi server in the hope I could configure it for mysensors developments, but I stepped into so many problems that I'm now turning it of definitely.
First ubuntu (18.04) desktop didn't resolve names in my intranet. I had to ditch it's fancy networking interface and go back to the old school /etc/network/interfaces file.
Then I had problems mounting samba shares and had to do it with nfs. And when I tried to open my shared sketches folder with the Arduino IDE I realized that it can't browse network mounts even when I have full access to them.
Also I passed through the servers usb controller to the VM and tried to get the ftdi device shown in ubuntu, but the passthrough doesn't work on any usb controller.I feel like I've been cursed.

FTDI No more?posted in General Discussion
Today I realized that none, absolutely none of my usb to serial converters works. I've been using them in the past, but lately I was uploading sketches through ISP and I didn't need anything to debug.
Seems that my Windows 10 throws a different error for every one like "the device did not turn on" or "error 43, requesting device descriptor"
Is this happening only me or is anyone having such problems?
I read something about original brands distributing malicious drivers and wrecking supposedly fake chips, but I didn't even update any driver.
What you guys are using for serial debugging?
