with a pair of new wireless devices, i went and ordered an adaptor that plugs into a motherboard header and turns it into two USB type-a ports so i can set my receivers inside the case. works as expected and saves a pair of ports on the back. If I'm lucky, it might, in theory anyway, make for a better wireless connections as they are closer and there's less metal case between the mouse/keyboard, and the receivers.

Replaced my keyboard and mouse, so far the keyboard sounds nice to my ear, and feels good too. Don't need to do anything to it to make me happy. The new mouse, I'm liking the shape(I use a fingertip grip) and the weight is nice. I'm a big fan of these lightweight mice.

a week or two he said before the trailer moves again. burying an ethernet cable was my first suggestion, but the disruption of digging up the main driveway for the site makes it a hard no. dads not tech savvy and turns to me in search of solutions, but this falls outside my areas of knowledge. the pole already has power on it in the form of the main circuit breaker for temporary site power, as well as power to part of the security system. i thought the easiest thing would be a cheap range extender and mount it to the pole, inside one of those 5 gallon home depot buckets(bucket attached upside down to be a rain shield.) and hope that the additional height would make enough of a difference. but access to the pole requires a lift which isn't available on site at the moment.

yeah, all issues i was aware of(though not quite to the level of technological detail your speaking of) dad does have signal, it's just 1 sometimes 2 bars. and random dropouts.(possibly when vehicles enter and leave the site.) He was hoping i could find cheap, simple fix that required no effort on his part. and amazon would have delivered tomorrow for under $20 as this is a very short term location a week or two at most before the site trailer gets relocated(again) he figures he will simply suffer with poor wi-fi for now. especially as he would need to bring in a bucket truck/genie lift to mount an antenna on the pole. safety bureaucracy at work, working as intended..... thanks for your suggestions.

1) wifi just for the office, office is rental trailer, no mods can be done to it in any way(no screw holes, etc) 2) yes, easy access to the modem/router combo on the pole. its a normal household style service provider basic unit. its inside the plywood weather box that the main power panel for the site power is in. 3) short term solution. lower the cost the better. main driveway for construction site is between the site office and the pole. so a cable is out of the question. i thought about just a cheap extender(non weather proof), placed in another box to keep it protected from the weather, placed higher to hopefully give more range. the current modem/router is probably 4 to 5 feet off the ground

trying to solve my dads wifi issues at work. hit site office was just moved and the modem with built in wifi modem is at that power pole in the distance,(in a wooden box with the main power panel for the construction site which is of course not helping signal but is the only present option) about 150 feet away. any sensible recommendations for an outdoor wifi extender or anything that can be mounted on the pole to give better signal in the office. or other solutions would be appreciated. a buried cable is not a viable option nor is moving the office back, or having the modem relocated.

i got it used, as the 3rd owner from a member of my local flying club. was only $500. then $100 to upgrade the gyro, then another $150 for the upgraded speed controller as the original was faulty, and then $300 in parts after the first big crash.... and i dont wanna keep adding up the costs......

while some of the before and after work done by this conservator are larger and more dramatic than this particular painting, its fantastic to see the steps and work that goes into conserving a painting.

My first compact keyboard, a Ducky One2 SF, Blue switches. Until now, I've only ever used full sized. While I've never loved a keyboard before, this is the most excited for a board I've ever been, got Blue key caps and what looks like the year of the rat spacebar. both of which I appreciate.
