That’s a gutter mount from Wasserstein. Here’s a link amzn.to/3UJ7gl8

@@SteveDOES Thanks!!

I’d love one. I’m always hot at night throughout the summer.

Wait Really? That's insane. haha Telstra doesn't do that over here.... (i think) You'd be surprised, the newer telstra modem / router combos are actually really nice, and they do a good job of everything all together. I did however do a similar approach that Steve has gone for. (Unifi Express Modem > TP-Link1GB Switch > Unifi U6Lite x2)

You can wire it yourself, but it can certainly be a fair amount of work. You can also pay someone else to wire it for you. Paying someone tends to be pricey. The best time to wire a house is when the house is being bult. Short of that, most people just resort to using wifi in homes without WiFi. Buying some brands of Mesh WiFi also come with wired ports, so you can connect wired devices to the remote mesh wifi nodes. If you are renting a home or apartment, getting it wired is often not an option. Mesh Wifi + nodes tend to be a more expensive option, but it's an alternative to wiring the entire house. There used to be a thing called a wireless desktop switch, or network extender that provides remote wired network connections over WiFi. My 1 floor slab mounted home is almost impossible to wire, after the fact, because it's mounted on a slab; wires can be routed up and into the attic, but it certainly would not be ideal. Wifi remains the best solution, and with WiFi solutions getting faster every few years, well, wired is not all that it's cracked up to be. Future proof your investments when you purchase by buying WiFi 7 although there are few devices using the standard. Wifi 6/6E is a crapshoot, but can provide nearly the same speeds as gigabit wired network does, provided you don't have a lot of devices on the WiFi. Depending upon your devices, and your router/access point, there are channel bandwidth options, where the bigger number often wins; like 40/80/160 mhz channel bandwidth. With my Wifi 6E access point, my speed is still limited to the bandwidth from the ISP, specifically about 940 Mbps download and 60 Mbps up. Faster wifi will do nothing to speed up internet access in my case, but it can make using internal devices like a NAS faster. Is it worth the effort ? Likely not. Many devices in use nowadays tend to almost always be on WiFi, like laptops, tablets and phones. A wired network is often not the only consideration.

There good be fiber somewhere. In this case he is using a copper feed that may be connected to a transceiver outside the home where the provider is terminating their fiber. Just a thought.

I suggest using it as a bridge, there should be a “bridge mode option” I suggest using a rj45 cable to do this. Just turning off the Wi-Fi signal won’t turn off router capabilities from the provider device.

Can be tricky depending on who your carrier is, but most gateways (as mentioned above) have a “bridge mode” that will disable the routing function of the gateway and just keep the modem function running. Some providers such as AT&T if you’re in the US use different terminology and methods to provide a similar function I want to say called “Pass though” or something similar. Don’t quote me on that. It works a little differently than your traditional “bridge” mode, but it serves a similar function.

@@BishTheBearded do any of you know what it would be for Bell in Canada?

@@thefunhouse8545 Sadly I do not. It would be worth calling Bell, or perhaps checking on Reddit/Google to see if anyone else has made the switch to their own equipment and see what they’re running.

@@thefunhouse8545sadly I don’t. Might be worth a Google/Reddit search to see what others that are in similar situations might be using. Bell themselves should be able to tell you if you give them a call.

If that is an unmanaged switch, good bet there is no PoE. It is not one of the more expensive switches. JustSaying.

Yes indeed. Wiring is 95% of the battle. I’d do it my house except I don’t fancy the redecorating. Thanks for pointing this out in a comment and saving me the time watching this video.

I would assume the yellow cable goes to the mesh AP, to get the ethernet backhaul, and then out from the mesh to the switch.

He didn’t cover that. But my guess is the provider is using fiber to the home and is terminating the fiber with a transceiver that is then connected to the copper. JustSaying.

it's an update to that video though it looks like it's pretty much the same setup as before. Or it's possible it's a reupload.
