New That's assuming they can reach the relevant places.
Making a path in the basement would be a challenge at the moment... ;-)

I've reached the point that I'm willing to spend some money on hardware to save a few hours on aggravating tasks. If I tried to hire someone to wire the house, I'd have to spend days investigating installers, making paths in the basement, and probably would have to take off a day from work (as I assume they wouldn't work on the weekend).

Saving money vs. saving time is one choice that is fairly straight-forward when things go as expected. But it's not always clear how to reduce aggravation when it comes to things like this. Having an on-site IT department at home is one solution, I guess. ;-)

Once we win the lottery, everything will be great. No more compromises!!1

Cheers,
Scott.

New win the lottery heave all electronics into the bay
keep one lapper for bookeeping and chuck everything else including the phones. Loved having nothing electronic when I was up North.

New Yup. We'd probably travel and live out of a couple of suitcases and maybe a trunk.
For a few years anyway. At least if J had her way. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.

             Something weird is going on. Can't do multiple WDS devices with C5s? - (Another Scott) - (14) - Oct. 4, 2015, 11:47:36 AM EDT
                 can you setup the devices as routers instead of bridges? - (boxley) - (13) - Oct. 4, 2015, 01:30:40 PM EDT
                     Hmm... - (Another Scott) - (12) - Oct. 4, 2015, 03:18:48 PM EDT
                         No joy. Going to try some dedicated bridge boxes. - (Another Scott) - (11) - Oct. 4, 2015, 06:04:37 PM EDT

                                         Yup. We'd probably travel and live out of a couple of suitcases and maybe a trunk. - (Another Scott) - Oct. 6, 2015, 01:52:47 PM EDT
                             Of course, that didn't solve the problem. - (Another Scott) - (4) - Oct. 8, 2015, 04:31:54 PM EDT
                                 static routing is always the best way to go for smaller configurations -NT - (boxley) - (3) - Oct. 8, 2015, 06:24:53 PM EDT
                                     Static Routing seems to require using the LAN or WAN ports. :-( - (Another Scott) - (2) - Oct. 8, 2015, 10:13:28 PM EDT
                                         hmmm, not at home but think I can assign static ip to mac addys on the wireless - (boxley) - Oct. 8, 2015, 10:39:34 PM EDT
