I played around with the cable on account of laaaaag.

Numbers indicate splitters, previous configuration:

  ..|- room
  ..|--------2- cable box
--5- room..|- cable modem
  ..|- room
  ..|- room

New configuration:
--2- cable modem...|- room
..|----------------5- cable box
...................|- room
...................|- room
...................|- room

This has fixed my slow internet issue, though one contributing factor may be the new position of the wireless router. Lessons learned:
  1. Splitters divide signal even if one connection is open (unlike regular circuits).
  2. Cable boxes have an upper bound to the amplitude of signal they can receive, in addition to the obvious lower bound. I discovered this after trying:
--2- cable modem
..|- cable box

We bought a Motorola signal booster.

For the cable? For the wireless?

Compromising admissions

 The mirrors add light and space to the bathrooms. I can get away with the panels for the sides of the upstairs bathroom and all of the downstairs. I shudder to think of how much a custom 5' x 3' is going to run me for the main, upstairs piece.

How to connect Ethernet devices to WiFi via WDS | NucuLabs

 Hi ??, In this blog post I will show you how to connect an Ethernet only device to Wi-Fi using an extra router and the WDS functionality. I initially wanted to install the TP Link Archer T4U WiFi adapter driver on my Ubuntu 20.04 PC but unfortunately the driver is no longer supported. Since I really needed high internet speed for my PC, I decided to connect it via an Ethernet cable and buy another TP-Link router to use in WDS mode.
Has a preview image link and yet 404 :/
