This is my current network setup that my dad built. He's insane.

These are all wafers with pigtails (copper ethernet cables) and they all transfer into a network hub, then into our 2WIRE router.

It's a really efficient way of having wired and wireless internet throughout the entire house.

That's pretty nice.

That is pretty cool. I wish my dad was a geek like that.

And, like tails said, why go through all that work just to accomplish the same thing a router does?

Because it's cooler to show to your friends.

I just have...a normal router, modem and adapter. The modem is connected to the ANCIENT Dell in my brother's studio, and the Lynksys router beams the internet through the wall and to the D-link adapter.

Why?

Because I'm in a family of 6 and my dad has no life.

Sweet, it's always cool to see a nice wiring job.

I've got ethernet cables running through my walls but nothing as neat looking as that.

Also, is there anything in the Canadian Electrical Code that prohibits mounting a device like that so close to the service feed? Just wondering.

I bet your Internet is like over 9000 bandwidth.

Over 9000 bandwidth? Over 9000 what?
Bytes? Kilobytes? Megabytes?! Gigabytes?!?!
