All cables left unterminated in the low voltage box.

Rather than locate router in low voltage box as some do, mine is in the front office bedroom of our Designer Iris.

I too am a techie. Spectrum charges an extra $5/mo to enable the wifi in the router, and I did not enable, as I planned to use a mesh network.

I have 4 TP-Link M5 mesh hub/routers with one connected to Spectrum router in the office. One in living room media cabinet, one in kitchen, one in MBR, and one in garage. 2000 ft home, and overkill ������.

TPhLink has additional security features that help prevent access to suspected websites.

In living room media center and office, I added ethernet switch added to the mesh hub so I could have hard wired connection to the devices there.

I have Ring doorbell at front door.

I overdid things as I use WiFi calling for our two cell phones, and have great coverage everywhere.

Also have 3 Panasonic "Link-to-Cell" cordless phone handsets, leaving cell phones near the Panasonic base station.

No issues but have Blink and Arlo security cams as well as a few other PTZ cams from previous 4500 sq ft home in Oregon. Were full time so didn't really see a need to install them as neighborhood is very safe. We were out in the countryside in Oregon, so useful there.

Lastly, had an AT&T microcell, but AT&T wouldn't activate as they are trying to phase them out.

If you have any other questions, happy to try and answer them.

M2; help me here. How can one stream without cable service?
