[Ubuntu-US-CA] hello!

[Charlie]

yes, you're correct. And honestly, I knew that already and I don't know 
why I didn't think of that before. I can log into that other SSID and 
use it but I haven't tried it yet. Been away from my laptop for other 
matters.

But right now, ac is working decently but I'm going to change over to 
the other SSID for a baseline test and maybe get a better idea of what's 
going on.
