But why? I looked at the page but could find no understanding of what he gained from doing all this? I have a single wifi router and power everything through that and still have much faster bandwidth than the author does. It seems like a lot of energy, time, and effort (especially for maintenance) for something with minimal gains. I get 1 Gbit down and 500 mbit up and even in the worst signal rooms it only drops to 600 mbit down and 93 mbit up). Printers etc all work through wifi and backups are done to several redundant cloud services. No wires required, no expensive and energy guzzling servers needed, no patching or maintenance needed.


Still cheaper than golfing.

I'm confused, what's faster than what?


OP presumably enjoys it. There’s your why.


And now add the noise question to the equation.
