  • If you don’t care for the looks, just put it down where needed, and fix it to whatever is around with cable ties.

    I did the same in my daughters shared accommodation. Officially they had wifi in all the student rooms, but my daughters room basically had no reception, so I ran a cable from the other end of the flat where the router was down the staircase into her room for a local AP. When she moved out, it was a quick job with a pair of pliers to get it out again.




  • Got a bunch of RPIs, some of them retired.

    One of the active ones runs a MediaWiki engine (if it detects my home wifi on startup, it acts as a mirror slave to the master installation on the server, if not, it opens a wifi with my home wifi’s credentials and offers the wiki as read-only).

    Another one runs a DB that controls a number of ESP8266 clients controlling lights, motors, and sensors.
