Hawaiiantel Fiber Internet gateway rental

they are currently 100+ without wireless

I prefer real hardware that's actually configurable instead of cheap chinese wifi-flavor-of-the-week. YMMV.

From here it needs to go to a modem and from there to a wireless router.

What kind of "modem" is this?

cable modem that converts copper to 1 ethernet that feeds into the back of wireless routers. Also shout-out to openwrt firmware which can be installed on many many off-the-shelf routers.

With fiber, that's called an ONT, it converts longwave optics to gigabit copper.

Best part about fiber is that lightning strikes cannot ride it into my house.

openwrt firmware

Better than stock, to be sure, but still flavor-of-the-week.

@blizzardwizard which component are you measuring at 30w? The ONT? Router? Wifi?
