Speaker 2
Yes, sir. Actually. Um, Yes, sir. Exactly. I would be um suggesting you consider to upgrade the I mean, in upgrading your router, uh because technically it may not be able to keep up with your internet service provider. So yeah. Um, Mm-hmm. Um, Well, right now, most of our customers are using uh mesh routers. I don't know if you're familiar with that. Um, Yeah. So a mesh router uh consists of multiple routers interconnected to each other to create a mesh uh network, which basically uses the whole house as a Wi-Fi-uh hub. Um, and it covers all, uh, dead spots in a house and then more. Um, yeah. So it covers all corners, upstairs, downstairs, um, and outside of the house as well. Um, so it's really convenient for streaming video, um, gaming, and as well for accessing the network from anywhere in your property.
03:00
Speaker 1
Well, listen. This is how I got it hooked up. OK, I got it hooked up in my office in the house. OK, then I've got ethernet. I got ethernet cable running a thousand feet into the woods to my shop. And I have another router there that plugged into another router. OK. And then I got my. And then, hey, so then I got my laptop, I got my desktop plugged in in there. And I have my TV box plugged in and I have internet service out there and I have Wi-Fi out there because it doesn't reach from the house. It's too far. So that so So, I can still do that because my my router out there works fine.
