In Reply to: RE: Have to wait as the only 'real' computer in the house these days.... posted by AbeCollins on July 16, 2016 at 10:43:19:
The 'Pulse' WiFi router provided for $10 a month by the Sonic Fiber folks is fine but it is going BACK to them. $10 a month buys a lot of networking gear!My only other router is the older Apple Airport/Time Machine which is OK for WiFi and will remain upstairs in the office
I want to replace the Pulse Wifi Router that is currently being rented to me with a 'Wired Router' attached to the wall of the garage next to the 'Fiber' modem. I will then hook the output of the fiber modem to the WAN port on the Wired Router and then hook the three Cat 5E cables (old phone lines) that terminate nearby to the LAN ports on the Wired Router.
I will then have Ethernet in all of the rooms in the house that matter to me.
But in has to be very reliable and I am reading about a lot of 're-boot' daily stories with routers used with Gigabit speeds.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
