I have no idea what the issue was, but I called for the status  
of the installation yeasterday, and I got an installation  
today.

The feed is from a completely different direction.

And.. unfortunately, the entry point is at the back of my  
building instead of the front where access to my existing wired  
network would be best. The installer just used an old plugged  
up hole that used to be for the oil tank. Instead, I only have  
a sole Deco x50 pod unit to work with - provided by the ISP.   
If I had another Deco pod then it would be easier to reach the  
location of my desktop and its locally wired devices.

Now, I am wondering if I can rig up a spare router to talk wifi  
with the Deco so that I can can simply plug my network into  
that router. Seems like I would need another Deco x50, or any  
other router that has WDS (wireless distribution system).
