Where have you been all my life?

I'm annoyed that I never knew something like this existed. Living in everything from old rental houses to overcrowded apartments, I've always had issues with congested WiFi or homes that behave like Faraday cages due to their age and construction. I moved into my 130 year old house a few years ago and have had trouble maintaining a consistent speed with only Wi-Fi due to the occasional brick chimneys, plastered walls and house additions over the years despite only having a floor area of about 1 Had 1200 square feet. I work from home so my upstairs office is a top priority, but it's not the best place to put my WiFi router as it's at the back of the house. Instead of punching holes in the plaster to get a decent ethernet up to 2 floors, I found I have tons of unused coax cables from the old days when people plugged their bedroom TVs into a cable box. After receiving them, plugging them in and pressing the setup button on the side, they were up and running in literally 1 minute. My coax ping only increased by 2-3ms, which is really nothing, and I'm seeing the same speeds as when connected directly to my router. coaxial cable. Or at least coaxial cable is good for running outdoors, allowing you to run a line from the basement to the second floor outside of the house.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Obsolete model
