Added 2024-06-30 23:11:07 +0000 UTCRecently snagged a uBR7114 on eBay, which should let me setup a local broadband network. It's just DOCSIS 1/1.1 but that's plenty for messing around. What drew me to this one is that usually you need an upconverter (i.e. more $$$ and more gear) on the downstream port, but this one has an integrated upconverter (the port labeled DS0 RF).
Anyway I'm waiting on some attenuators and splitters I need before I can really get going so this might be a couple videos out, but the machine boots up perfectly!
Bonus pictures fixing my mom's swamp cooler today. It's basically new now.

2024-06-30 23:27:11 +0000 UTCIt'd be wasted on this slow thing haha. Going to try to hunt down some old DOCSIS 1/1.0 modems. I have that RCA unit and I think (of course) an old Linksys one.
