# Fix Shitty Wifi (for macOS)

[![Dependabot Status](https://api.dependabot.com/badges/status?host=github&repo=JaneJeon/Fix-Shitty-Wifi)](https://dependabot.com)

Fixes various troublesome wifi connections that show any of the following behaviour: 

1. disconnect randomly (spotty/intermittently dropping connection)

2. silently cuts you off from the rest of the internet even though the wifi is still connected (*cough* comcast *cough*)

3. forces you to sign in every X minutes (think airport wifi)

## Sample Usage

`npm install` or `yarn` to install dependencies, then `sudo node index.js` to start. If you have `pm2` globally installed, `npm/yarn start` to prevent memory leaks. Edit `.env` for configuration.



  



### Why do I need to provide root privileges?

To fix troublesome behaviour #3, the program needs to spoof the computer's `MAC address`. To do that, it needs `sudo` access. Thus, you will need to start this program as a root user, but once it's running, you do not need to input password any more.
