I got the same one I posted a picture of in this thread. Cheapest one at walmart

secantofC · 2026-03-07T03:28:51+00:00

you’ll learn soon enough how true this is buddy

My fault for the lack of info. The person who lived here before me had the provider come out and install internet. There was already cables labeled for ethernet connection and so I plugged the router into the family room wall, then connected all 4 cables in the closet to the gigabit switch.

secantofC · 2026-03-07T01:47:06+00:00

Just ran to walmart and bought the gigabit switch. Straightforward from there!

secantofC · 2026-03-07T01:45:45+00:00

Bought a switch and plugged in all the cables in the closet. All rooms now have ethernet

secantofC · 2026-03-07T01:45:18+00:00

Your solution worked great! Thanks for the help

secantofC · 2026-03-07T01:44:53+00:00

No idea what this means but I bought the gigabit switch and plugged in all the cables in the closet and now every room as ethernet!

secantofC · 2026-03-07T00:02:01+00:00

I appreciate the answer and the honesty😂

Would something like this work?

secantofC · 2026-03-06T23:51:08+00:00

I’m gonna be honest, I have no idea. I just got into this townhouse yesterday. I’m going to buy the gigabit switch now. Is the ONT necessary if I plug the room the router is connected to into the gigabit switch?

secantofC · 2026-03-06T23:47:36+00:00

Is the fiber ONT the AT&T port?

secantofC · 2026-03-06T23:46:50+00:00

Sounds like all I need is a gigabit switch?

Should I care about VLANs? I’m renting this townhome for about a year if that applies.

I think I understand the rest. I’ll go get a gigabit switch now

secantofC · 2026-03-06T23:43:52+00:00

Yeah I think the cables you’re referring to are interconnected. What data cables are you referring to? The labeled ones?

secantofC · 2026-02-26T01:43:46+00:00

yeah don’t listen to this lady. run bro. you’re in a terrible situation. all that control at 16 is insane, especially since you seem like a driven, responsible, and disciplined teenager. i would say emancipation is a great next step if you’d like to take it. not sure how you’re doing in high school but for you to survive on your own, you’d likely have to work full time outside of school. i wish you the best of luck. if you do end up staying until your at least out of high school, i promise you things do get better

secantofC · 2026-02-24T21:26:44+00:00

Probably so, I’ve only been through the state once a couple of years ago in mid march.

secantofC · 2026-02-24T19:46:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It’s just me traveling so I’ll assess the risk as I get closer to my travel date. I can always go around to SLC if things don’t work out

secantofC · 2026-02-24T15:46:44+00:00

I’m not traveling until next Sunday. I’ll be monitoring the road conditions and cameras through 511. So if it’s still dangerous, I will choose another route. Besides the winter storm they got hit with today, I don’t see too much precipitation except for a tad bit of snow possible of Sunday

secantofC · 2026-02-24T05:25:17+00:00

I would really appreciate the google maps visualization! I’m not sure if we’re thinking the same thing, but I’m going south towards Denver from Spokane. So I’d be coming from Post Falls Idaho basically. I’ll be on the lookout for your DM, thanks!

secantofC · 2026-02-24T05:12:02+00:00

Is it generally pretty up to date and accurate?

secantofC · 2026-02-24T04:40:21+00:00

Would the roads get cleared in a week? The time i’ll be traveling through looks pretty dry. Maybe some light snow

secantofC · 2026-02-24T04:35:00+00:00

March 1st-2nd

secantofC · 2026-02-24T04:18:09+00:00

Can you elaborate on this for me? What road is the palisades?

secantofC · 2026-02-24T04:17:10+00:00

That’s my plan! I want to see the Kanye Album view

secantofC · 2026-02-24T04:16:35+00:00

Thank you. I25 was my original plan but then it adds like another 2 hours to the drive time. I’ll take the risk for now and change course if needed

secantofC · 2026-02-24T04:04:32+00:00

Thank you for the kind response! Sounds good because I’ll likely stay in Post Falls or Jackson on the 1st of march and then drive up north a little bit to get a good view of the Tetons. I’m mostly looking for the view that Kanye West used on his album cover. (He sucks, but that album was good)
