Don’t loving say it’s like digging an infinite number of holes, I know it’s mathematically true but no one who has dug both would ever say that with a straight face

dig two holes.

put a steel pole in each hole.

run the cable up the pole, down the other pole, into the caravan.

this ticks all the boxes (digging holes, giving weeb the internet)

At the farm we kept getting more satellite plans cause theres no such thing as unlimited satellite data (at the time). Basically everyone needs their own dish or two

Lay the cable on the ground and then cover it up with a mound of dirt. Same effect as digging a trench really, but without the digging. Kind of like a reverse trench, if you will

I dunno, I’m really more of an ideas guy. Maybe repurpose the dirt from other, unrelated holes?

the pole strategy also checks the final box of an excuse to visit the hardware store so perhaps it is best.

if I dig a series of discrete holes, and then put the resultant dirt from that on top of the cable, I can achieve the same effect as a trench without ever digging one. I'm think we found a winner boys.

yo you absolutely do not need to find enterprise IT stuff to have decent wifi at home nor do you need openWRT so please ignore this ridiculous advice.

source: I am an Enterprise IT person.

This guy right here. Of cause you don't need an AP, you don't need a fancy new phone or wide screen TV either yet you buy those things because they are nice to have. Sounds like you've been an enterprise IT person for all of 5 minutes.

Nobody is saying to go buy an enterprise-grade AP instead of whatever you can buy normally. What I am saying though is if you can get one, say because they are turfing them out after decommisson or selling them cheaply to a recycler anyway, its worth seeing if it'll support OpenWRT and using it at home for yourself.

In any not-shithole area your 2.5GHz spectrum is probably saturated with your neighbours existing Wi-Fi routers. Having just about free reign on 5GHz is a godsend especially when you can get it for practically free.

No but a nice tv or phone has an immediate and tangible benefit over a cheaper one to the consumer. Enterprise Wifi does not and adds complexity.

Every slightly good router on the market these days supports 5ghz what the gently caress drugs are you smoking (Probably none). I got my first dual band router in 2011. My current one is 5 years old and does smart band selection and it's by no means a special router.

No one in this thread needs enterprise gear, free or not, nor do they need openWRT. Terrible goony advice direct from SH/SC. Bravo.

Free gear is terrible advice and has no tangible benefit, nice one.

For someone claiming to be from "enterprise IT" you sure seem upset about flashing OpenWRT onto something.

For the guys I know that play it and 40K too, yeah that's about right.

One mate of mine has his entire garage decked out with bookshelves full of 40K models most of which he's never going to get around to painting.

Because it's totally unnecessary for a home user.

We use Cisco gear at most of our depots for wireless, which if I got for free I most certainly would not want in my fuckin house.

My older brother is getting into 40k at an alarming rate. Tbh i kinda wanna play some Magic though because it was fun as a kid and it looks like its mechanics have gotten more interesting with stronger creatures. There's a nice game shop down the road.

A mate of mine has been getting into 40k lately after doing it as a teenager. He doesn’t play the game though, he just likes painting the little men to look as cool as possible to display on his nerd shelf, which I think is probably the most sane way to go about 40k if you’re going to do it.
