Gigabit

Finally got an old Linksys router I bought off eBay flashed to OpenWrt & installed in the bedroom both for ethernet on the desktop, plus a WiFi access point for the downstairs / yard. I still need to work some kinks out of the network configuration, but my initial Fast.com speedtest showed incredibly promising results of >1Gbps (peaking at 1.8Gbps).

Granted, that's also cus it was a Saturday morning, so everyone was either sleeping or away from home & the neighborhood network wouldn't be taking much of a hit other than my own domain. Still, really nice to have a Gigabit network down and looking at upgrading to 10G or more down the line. CAT8.2 could be fun, but I'll need new network hardware for that.
