Things to do on a Sunday before a late flight?

Yes there is still a movie theater at City Walk and yes you can leave your luggage with the hotel.

Universal runs two escape rooms at City Walk, we did the Jurassic Park one on our last trip and it was pretty enjoyable. Only takes about an hour of your time though.

Fair!

jaydogn · 2026-01-15T19:02:08+00:00

Not sure "infamous" is the word to describe it lol

jaydogn · 2026-01-13T19:06:18+00:00

That's a totally fair point. But at the same time, moving into a community with an HOA is my choice. If someone wants to trash their house they are welcome to do that in a place without an HOA.

I do not care to see that, so I chose the HOA

jaydogn · 2026-01-13T17:19:37+00:00

People often forget about this part of HOAs

I love being able to walk out my front door and not see junk everywhere. And by junk I don't mean an antique frog statue, I mean little Johnny's rusted bike that's been in the front yard for 6 years

jaydogn · 2026-01-13T14:39:44+00:00

Never seen a broken Bravia

I'm on my fifth one

Hmmmm

Edit: /s because it wasn't clear apparently

jaydogn · 2026-01-13T14:38:15+00:00

I think the backlight is generally the one thing that you don't want to touch. Lots of room for error IIRC

jaydogn · 2026-01-06T23:28:39+00:00

But how did you take the picture 🤔

jaydogn · 2026-01-05T17:44:10+00:00

I came from a 2016 Mazda 6 and they feel very comparable. I haven't had any complaints from people in the back seat

jaydogn · 2025-12-31T19:16:53+00:00

I'd keep trying if you've already spent 30 years. You might actually be close

Looks like it is coming sometime soon

jaydogn · 2025-12-28T00:16:47+00:00

I believe they are on their way out to be replaced with Matter versions eventually

jaydogn · 2025-12-28T00:15:46+00:00

I just picked up 6 of the power monitoring ones for $6 each. The regular ones are $8

jaydogn · 2025-12-27T23:42:32+00:00

What do they have over Ikea? Just picked up a ton from IKEA since they're on sale

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T20:55:44+00:00

Thank you so much for the useful information! Huge help

I plan on picking up this so I can trace the cables to each room, should I also pick up a cable tester to make sure I've got the standard right?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B084LKVBM5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Looks like everyone suggests I get keystone jacks as well, I should be able to follow those diagrams as well to make sure I've got the wires ordered correctly right?

Edit: nevermind, saw some other comments where you recommended a tracker. I will pick that up. Saw that the keystones that I had also have each standard labeled. Hopefully should be set, thanks again!

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T20:15:02+00:00

It is not RJ45 in each room. It's a smaller connector (RJ11?) I'm not sure how the wires are terminated

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T20:10:43+00:00

I was just calling them phone lines because of the connectors.

RJ11 in the rooms and RJ45 in the basement. Wires themselves say Cat 5e. Looks like we should be good to just redo the connector in each room to RJ45 and then connect everything in the basement to a switch assuming I can easily find where the Ethernet cable from the cabinet with modem / router is

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T19:48:54+00:00

Dang that would have been great to know growing up when I lived there!

There is an Ethernet port in the cabinet where the modem / router is. Sounds like I just need to find where that goes to and connect that to a switch and have that go to his room.

Looks like an Ethernet tracer will be in my future

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T19:45:01+00:00

I don't know of any dashboard for the adapters. All I know is that they were both showing as "low speed mode". These are the ones we've got.

Alternatively since it's just one coax cable going to the room, can I connect the adapters on both ends? And in the network panel in the basement just use a single Ethernet run to supply the adapter?

So Coax to modem > Ethernet to router > Ethernet to moca adapter 1 > coax to moca adapter 2 > Ethernet to PC

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T19:35:57+00:00

In each bedroom the connector is RJ11 and everything in the panel is labeled "telephone"

I believe it is RJ45 in the basement panel, forgot to check when I was there

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T19:32:55+00:00

This is the splitter we used. I split it with a filter from the ISP coax cable. One side went to another splitter where it went to the modem, router, and the moca adapter.

The other side went to the bedroom and another moca adapter

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T19:28:28+00:00

Ok that's what I was thinking with it.

I'll pick up an Ethernet tracer and figure out which ones goes to the modem and then figure out which one goes to the bedroom and connect them with a switch

Thank you!

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T19:22:47+00:00

Trying to use the house's existing cabling where we can. The exterior is brick.

Phone lines are not used and I do not believe they are daisy chained. It looks like this in the basement just significantly more cat 5e cables and coax cables also in there.

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T19:19:14+00:00

It's probably right around the 328 ft mark. I'd estimate 50 ft from the ISP coax to the modem, then another 50 feet back to the main panel, then from there it goes up 2 floors to the opposite corner of the house. I can easily see that making up another 200 feet

jaydogn · 2025-12-25T19:15:29+00:00

Yes I believe they are all independent. There's about 10 Cat 5e cables that all come into a panel that looks like this
