March 14 Day 6: A Different Kind of Celebration

Posted byJenny QuinnPosted inPandemic, technologyTags:

I went shopping for cat 5e line. I now have 80 feet of blue wire strung from the router in the family room, up the stairs, to the laptop in my office. I am ready to participate in online meetings (or classes) sitting at my home desk. It’s far better than being  precariously balanced on the family sofa. 

So, my house is wired with cat 5e but I can’t figure out how to connect the high speed signal to it. Anybody have recommendations for an electronics specialist in Tacoma? I think this might be a present worth splurging on. (Yes my birthday is on Pi Day but I don’t feel much like celebrating.)
