[Hidden-tech] Networking pro

[Rich@tnr]

Mesh is a good idea - I use UniFi - https://ui.com/us/en/wifi
I have about 4 of them spread around the house and garage - they are 
tied into my physical network in about 2 spots
Note: I have a group of servers and NAS boxes for the work I do, so it's 
probably more than most need.

You'd need a hub from the best working router in your location.
If you get someone to do the wiring, I have a box of at least a few 100 
ft I'd like to pass on
you'd need to add the wire jacks (or get someone to add those) - I have 
the tools to do all that.
The wire is a bit old - no idea on the life time - I can say the runs 
that came from that box are working fine.

Good luck - Rich
