The Geek Station

As you might imagine from our Classic house, one of its original charming properties was the telephone and cable - or rather, complete lack of the latter, and extreme shortage of the former. There is but one telephone line, and never, NEVER had there been any incoming cable. We had a cable line put in for broadband, but it was going to be a bit of surgery to put coax anywhere else, so we have just been TV-Free since move in. The cable line connects to the basement, where we have our Geek Station. Check out the sad incoming cable line as it is feeds the gear propped up on wire racks, where the power is yards in the other direction.

We are completely dependent on our aging D-Link Wireless Router for our connectivity, which routinely drops my connection several times daily and requires rebooting.
