   Hi Trader,   
      
   Why am I an "asshole" because you don't understand basic things?   
      
   At the risk of asking the obvious, did you even LOOK at this picture?   
      
      
   If you looked at it, at the risk of proffering another obvious question   
   o Do you comprehend that each of those "antennas" can connect to Wi-Fi?   
      
   One more super obvious question for you, Trader, just to be clear:   
   o Do you realize that the Wi-Fi connection can be anything they have?   
      
   Um ... like their typical Wi-Fi-enabled SOHO router, Trader.   
   o Or, anything that's typical Wi-Fi, Trader.   
      
   Let's summarize the basics for you, Trader, shall we?   
   o Any typical Ethernet   
   o Any typical Wi-Fi   
      
   Let us know when you comprehend that basic fact.   
   o Because the point is that this power is available to everyone.   
   o At about the same costs as what they paid for what they have now   
      
   Only what's better about this setup, Trader, is   
   o It's vastly more powerful than their typical home setup today.   
      
   Which, if they need that power...   
   o Is a good thing, is it not?   
      
   --   
   Note that if people don't need this kind of Wi-Fi power, then, of course,   
   this thread isn't for them. It's only for those who can't connect   
   everything via Ethernet - such as their mobile devices at the pool and   
   their desktop computers which might be in far corners of their home.
