Sure it'd work. L-com sells a bunch of Wi-Fi splitters, although theirs have N connectors and are for outdoors or in-building DAS deployments. Also, SNB uses octoBox Wi-Fi splitters to reach the "peak" throughput results it shows in its router reviews. So the technology works and isn't really...

How much does an octoPal cost? (The MIMO test device, not the bath toy.) Any resellers out there?

Is there phone wiring or coaxial cabling between them?

MoCA adapters diplex lower ATSC/QAM/cable modem frequencies and higher MoCA frequencies so that they can be carried on the same 75 Ohm coaxial cable run. The cable run itself doesn't need to be directly room-to-room. Most homes built in the past 20 years should have a central distribution point...

How far is it from the internal DP to the center of each adjacent building? And what kind of wiring/cabling does exist between the DP and the other buildings? Which router(s) do they currently have on site?

There's always going to be more money in selling new junk than keeping old gear working longer. Just look at Apple, or closer to home, buying a Wave 2 router only to see it replaced by 802.11ax. I guess the analogy to draw would be all those vintage American cars in Cuba that they've kept...

Re: "someone would have done this a long time ago" - apparently this sort of thing is already used in China (w-wlan.com). I tried something similar over a single RG6 run and am surprised there aren't more products out there for this. Would be neat to see a head to head comparison of their...

It sounds like that's what it does, using the center conductor of an house's RG6 cable to carry the Wi-Fi signal and then using the aluminum shielding around the conductor to block interference. Incidentally, I had some spare SMA and F connectors for crimping and tried to duplicate what they're...

What they're saying is that the kit includes one pair of diplexers to separate the higher frequencies from the lower frequencies QAM/DOCSIS. The video claims there's no FEC errors when the diplexer's in use, so no RF ingress. The particular kits they're selling would be good for having the Wi-Fi...

Has anyone seen the Kickstarter project that puts a Wi-Fi splitter on a home's coaxial cabling, and puts Wi-Fi antennas on unused cable outlets? Curious if this has been tried out by anyone yet. It's basically a distributed antenna system so it sounds like it might work out better for ping times...

I have a DrayTek Vigor 2920n for sale, which has 3 total WAN ports (2 Ethernet WANs and 1 cellular WAN), available for $180 or your best offer. Here's an overview: Draytek's Vigor 2920n model includes 4 gigabit LAN ports, two Ethernet WAN ports (including gigabit WAN), 1 cellular WAN port, and...

I'm not sure if the C5's QCA9558 chipset supports fast BSS transition, actually - wanted to see if anyone on the forum knew or could recommend an alternative that is cheaper than Aruba or Ruckus gear.

I'd like to buy a dual-band router as an access point sharing the same SSIDs as a TP-Link Archer C5, but want to make sure that 802.11k/r roaming is available for dynamic rehoming based on the strongest RSSI. Would I be best off buying another C5 and enabling WDS bridging, buying another C5 and...
