Bob, are you in the Bonita Villas? If so, good tip! These Villas were built before data cabinets were installed in the garage. In these homes, Quantum will install the SmartNid equipment in one of the rooms anywhere along where the fiber runs to the house. This means the SmartNid is installed in one of the bedrooms, hopefully one that you are using for an office. I'm finding since the Villas are smaller homes, one WiFi7 main pod usually covers the whole house. If not, one remote pod is all that is needed. What's interesting since this is a new fiber installation, whether we need it or not, Quantum is offering 500Mbs for $50, 1Gbs for $75, 3Gbs for $100, and 8Gbs for $150 (don't remember the exact price). I was shocked to see 8Gbs speeds offered. Why is this significant? Because it's good to know, again, whether we need it or not, that Quantum is installing the latest fiber technology in the Villages. Something the cable companies are not doing.
How did they run the fiber to get to the livingroom? Did they run it through the soffit?
