FR: Warn users who connect via WiFi #206

Open h0uz3 opened 8 years ago

h0uz3 commented 8 years ago

WiFi can be laggy, therefore we need a way to recognize users that connect via WiFi and notify them to use wired Ethernet.

Will the speed be comparable? If so, you could measure the time needed to fetch a (sufficient large) resource in order to guess the connection. Web Apps have no way to query it AFAIK.

Speed is not the issue, reliability in some environments (read: 33C3) is. NodeJS is able to determine a connection's source address, hence find out where it comes from. As long as WiFi and Wired Network has different IP ranges (which is likely), this can be distinguished.
