🕑 Added 2024-06-30 23:11:07 +0000 UTCRecently snagged a uBR7114 on eBay, which should let me setup a local broadband network. It's just DOCSIS 1/1.1 but that's plenty for messing around. What drew me to this one is that usually you need an upconverter (i.e. more $$$ and more gear) on the downstream port, but this one has an integrated upconverter (the port labeled DS0 RF).
Anyway I'm waiting on some attenuators and splitters I need before I can really get going so this might be a couple videos out, but the machine boots up perfectly!
Bonus pictures fixing my mom's swamp cooler today. It's basically new now.

It'd be wasted on this slow thing haha. Going to try to hunt down some old DOCSIS 1/1.0 modems. I have that RCA unit and I think (of course) an old Linksys one.

I still have my Netgear 1000 cable modem (Xfinity). I have FiOS now, and don't need it.
