I once bought a router to use for my internet when I moved into my new house just to find out that it “wasn’t compatible” with Verizon’s service. I still have it (because I’m terrible about returning things). Is there any point in keeping it? Is there anything fun or interesting that I could do with it?
Might be able to get a few bucks for it on craigslist or fb if it’s not too old
I may end up going this route if I can’t turn it into a wifi extender. Having some coverage on the other side of the house would be amazing.
Mesh/range extenders really suck terribly, and that cannot be overstated. If you do any streaming or gaming or video calls, don’t do that on mesh APs or range extenders. Especially if you live near other people.
My kids would be the ones benefiting from the range extender and they’d only be watching YouTubeKids on their tablets. I don’t think they’d notice any issues with latency assuming that the buffer is able to load faster than the videos play. Thoughts?
Why is this? I got some free with my ISP and just have them set up so i can manually plug things like my TV or Xbox in and not have them using their wifi.
