Hello.
I am looking at the feasibility to setup a local network across multiple cabins in the forest.
It's longer than 100 m so ethernet cable is not an option.
I don't think fiber would be a good idea as I am not familiar with it and it seems difficult to ensure a tree won't fall on it requiring regular repair.
I am looking at wifi repeaters or mesh. I have also been thinking at using DSL modems.
These modems https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BOD8C9W would probably work fine over a pair of twisted cable (so 4 per cat6 wire)
@dane I was wondering whether sonic would have some banks of modems that they are junking --now that most of their customers are moving to fiber-- they would be willing to give or sell for cheap.
Thanks
