When faced with a series of unfortunate events, I make a series of poor choices.
I’ve run cables between floors, down stairs and such. Stairs make things easier, because you can run the cable across them without tripping anyone, or needing to cover them. You can wind through bannisters to avoid using tape too.
Also, you should only be running one cable, and putting a switch at the other end.
Q: why is running a cable across the house not an option?
it’s not length, since 30m should be enough for most mcmansions.
it’s not cost, since cables are fairly cheap. Cheapest option there is.
you run along wall edges, taking the long way if you have to. When crossing open areas, you lay a rubber cable protector over the top (or a strip of carpet with a gutter cut out underneath), to stop tripping and make it look nice.
absolutely agree with the mesh wifi. Two stations, one at your NAS, one near you. They’ll form a direct high-speed link between each other. Zero effort. Faster than Powerline ethernet, and most other options.
definitely this.
I use Solid Explorer on my phone. even has a quick start button for my slide down menu.
it’s worth thinking if they put that money in a basic account with 5% interest (I get 4.5% in one of my accounts and 5.2% in another, so I’ll simplify), with $24k in there, that would be $100 per month, or 20% of their monthly budget. 7% is quite common with basic etfs, but it’s more annoying to move money back to pay bills then. My point is: this could/should last even longer. Money which doesn’t increase in value, loses value (inflation).
but maybe later.
