Fran, I'm so sorry to hear about your hub's battle, Not sure who has to take it on the chin worse, the loved one who has it, or the loved one who has to stand by. A horrible situation for both of you. You're in my thoughts and let us pray the chemo will do its stuff.

Evening....Glad this day is over....The wind chill had a real bite to it... Let's see I have a bottle of Duval and a bottle of Chimay Grande...A long with my other beer. Think I'll have the Duval..
Got any pizza rolls to go with that?

Yup....but I didn't have lunch till about 3:30 so not hungry yet...
So I had an old N600 router and a 50 foot, CAT 6 ethernet cable that was collecting dust. I decided to run the cable from my office (downstairs on one end of the house) to the bonus room (upstairs at the other end of the house). Wasn't hard at all. Up one wall, through the attic, down another wall. I converted the N600 to an access point and it is up and running. All I have left to do is dress up the walls with a jack and wall plate and it's done. Basically a free installation since I had nothing better to do with the old router and cable. The signal is slightly stronger upstairs with the N600 than the Nighthawk coming from the office. Not by much but a little. So now I'm getting 110 mbps on my wired connections downstairs and 95 mbps on the 5GHz connection upstairs (I was getting 87 mbps on the Nighthawk). This house is more than drenched in wifi now.

Sounds liked it worked.. I may still get a router. Was looking at the Tp-link routers.. This one is more than I need. https://www.walmart.com/ip/TP-Link-...ual-Band-Gigabit-Router-Archer-C900/683170751
