The only reason I used my range's WiFi is to preheat it from downstairs or the store lol

what the heck is a range? search results are expectedly useless as it's an extremely common word for something else

It’s an oven with a stove on top. Google “cooking range”.

I’ve never called it that, but that’s the name for it.
