HACKRF VS WIFISPY HOW TO
So how to get a decent connection up to the office and elsewhere in the client’s house to blanket it with wifi? Thankfully, 20 years of innovation has happened, and the chip makers and the cable companies got together to solve this problem, because they needed to deliver services over IP within the homes as well. Zoom calls can get a little frustrating and embarrassing when you’re the presenter and your connection sucks… Cable installers love outside walls, which are about the worst possible place to put a wireless access point. And, of course, the cable modem/router/wireless/waffle iron/juicer/vacuum combo device provided by the cable company is as far across the house from the home office as you can possibly get without actually putting it in the neighbors’ house. And since it’s a higher end home, running ethernet cable to each room is a non-starter (not to mention expensive and disruptive). The client’s home, on the other hand, had daisy chained telephone line and coaxial cable throughout. Didn’t require much effort, and thankfully didn’t require causing any damage to the rental house, which the landlord tends to get cranky about.
HACKRF VS WIFISPY FULL
Since I have buckets full of Cat5e jacks, it was a pretty simple swap on both ends and I got gigabit. My home was wired to nearly every room with home run Cat5 and coax (lucky me!). One is the rental I just moved into, and the other is a moderately sized home owned by a client who has found himself and his family working from home a lot more lately, just like the rest of us. Recently, I had to figure out how to connect up a bunch of access points in a few homes that were built in the 1999-2000 time frame. In most cases, the runs were short enough that when gigabit Ethernet started showing up, you could still make the Cat5 work.
If you were a nerd with computers (plural) and so fortunate as to have a home whose Cat5 phone cables were “home-run” back to a central interconnect (where they were usually all spliced together on a single pair for voice), you could reterminate them on both ends with a modular jack and use them for Ethernet (the idea of a router at home with NAT was still pretty new back then as well). The idea of the networked home and the Internet of Things was still a long way off. In 2000, only the serious nerds (such as yours truly) had computers (plural) in their homes. The challenge is that while technology changes every few years, the wiring in a house is generally put in place with little thought given to even the near future. If they were really fancy, they would run each cable and phone outlet back to a central point where you could pick and chose where the signals went. And they’d usually string a daisy chained chunk of Cat5 for telephones.
HACKRF VS WIFISPY TV
If you had a home built around that time, chances are, the builder put coaxial cable into every room they could think of so you could have TV everywhere.
Often, these computers were directly connected to the internet with no firewall software, which led to all kinds of shenanigans. Usually these “cable modems” were hooked directly up to a single computer, either via USB, or via Ethernet if your computer was really snazzy. Broadband internet (a whole 5 megabits!) was starting to find its way into homes served by cable TV, and it made dialup look severely lame. This was also when a brand new technology called “Wi-Fi” had just showed up on the scene. and when Netflix was an upstart DVD by mail company. It was a time when cable TV was king, and you could usually count on a cable outlet in almost every room of the house, when a cable TV package could easily come with half a dozen converter boxes, before the term “cord-cutter” struck fear into the hearts of cable executives. Let’s jump into the time machine and head back to the turn of the century (21 years ago, y’all… can you believe it?).
