Wifi 6 is pretty amazing. I play on it since my apartment has a weird layout and I will not drag a cable from one side of the apartment (where the router is) to the other (where the office is located).

Network latency averages somewhere around 5ms which is totally fine.

Looks like a router to me, in which case it's probably for his phone and tv.

The pc is close enough to it to be hardwired

I have a similar setup. Three monitors with the tower behind and a router on top. All hard-lined. Wifi is only for dumb shit like phones and handhelds.

We're living with my grandmother temporarily, and we don't want the risk of trip hazard so had to get a good WiFi router.

It goes down whenever she uses the microwave - awesome for me, as I work from home.

Also we're tied to using her ISPs router because we didn't want to risk losing her phone number and other dramas moving to ours, so the modem router we use is theirs, and it sucks and the first two have blown up in the space of a year - we're on our third.

Meanwhile our great equipment is sitting in plastic crates in the garage.

Oh well. Do it for her!

Sure it’s easy. That’s why the seller should have done it. If you sell a house you should stage it properly so you get the most money out of it. Many people have zero imagination and can’t see past the current interior design. The seller is an idiot for putting it on sale like this. They don’t even have to place carpet just coat the floor with white paint and it suddenly looks modern.

I could install that carpet for you in a short afternoon but I do it professionally.

I had to quickly move to a short-term rental and I did this. I had a three-inch pad on the floor to sleep on, a folding chair, and a desk with my laptop on it.

That's concrete. You can see tyre marks - it appears to have been a garage in a former life.

I don't know what it is but it seems to have a wintery ice-skating scene on it.
