so that the fast WiFi (802.11ac) covers most of the house. Easy to run ethernet cable along the roof of the garage so I can mount the router on the other side of the wall/floor from the living room and get acceptable wifi coverage in the parts of the house that won't have an ethernet jack nearby.
So $10 a month is no big deal for the moment especially for 802.11ac Gigabit Wifi.
Then I can use the slow (802.11n) first generation Apple Airport/Time Machine as a 1 Gig router/switch for the listening room which will be well covered with ethernet except for occasional phone/iPad/laptop that might be used there.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
