Cool, I'll have to give the modem diag a shot when I get home. I upgraded my modem (SB6141) and router netgear WNDR4300 in an effort to ensure the issue was not poor hardware on my end.
I really don't give a crap about my TV, as long as I'm getting what I am paying for when it comes to data speeds.
I'm glad that you say that about amping a signal to the modem, I wa on amazon and saw this review, not that I put too much faith in amazon reviews.
The way I setup my LEDs is I wired the lights directly to the battery with an inline 5A (I believe....might be way too high, could be around 2A, I don't remember, just calculate what your lights will draw) fuse on the ground.
Here is what I used (not the same brand etc etc, I got mine at a PepBoys for double that price because I was impatient), and it worked great!
EDIT: this will provide you with constant power, which is what I wanted because I can switch the lights on without having to turn the key. Great ambient lighting for relaxing in a lot at night.
I did cable for a while and honestly, I don't even know why. All these channel with no value. But, the cable bill was through the roof. Cable companies have a way of attracting you for the first 3 months then hit you with a premium price afterwards. I cut my cable about 3 months ago and loving it. never going back. lol. Amazon Fire I am here to stay. lol. Please let me know who else did the change to drop there cable bill for a streaming service.
Well that box looks like it 'has a cover' to me. I don't know if you have it or if it didn't come with it when you bought it.
But one would assume that perhaps just silicone around the outside + cover will be good enough if it doesn't have a rubber seal.
Really the boxes aren't hard to replace if you already know how to put the connector on.
You could always just put a waterproof connector on, something like this that has a cap: https://www.amazon.ca/ASICPICRJ45S-Waterproof-Connector-Shielded-Separately/dp/B00R3B0BP8/ref=asc_df_B00R3B0BP8/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292982668700&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13442113931132517505&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001237&hvtargid=pla-432432836390&psc=1
If you're in the US you should know that the outlet (cover) in this picture isn't code compliant for outdoor continuous use. it would need to look something like this: http://www.amazon.com/MM710C-Weatherproof-Outdoor-Receptacle-Protector/dp/B0013FRYH8/
Outdoor outlets need to be GFCI protected (normaly a GFCI receptical), outlets that are in odd places like this one might be protected by a special GFCI breaker in the panel, so that resetting it is no different than resetting a normal 'blown' breaker. If this is the case what you're seeing might not be fixed by removing that split and you would need to replace that cover with a weatherproof one.
HOLY SHIT!!!! TRIM YOUR ZIP-TIES!!!
https://www.amazon.com/Hakko-CHP-170-Stand-off-Construction-21-Degree/dp/B017ODDPNO/
EDIT: I have to agree with everyone else. Whoever made the splice tray did a great job, they just need to "finish" it.
This will help you clear up most of that and these will take care of most of the rest.
If those are random cables going into the wall, then get a keystone jack or something.
These velcro straps used to be $5 and some days are cheaper and will help organize them no matter what you throw them in. They have the little loop so one end always stays attached to the cable. The first link would be the nicest solution although the most expensive. Clear bins that could stack also work well as you can get different sizes. I currently use a mix of the bins and a cheap drawer shelf like this along with some larger boxes for bulky/outdated cables. I would suggest going with thinner versions of that instead of your last link. Your mileage may vary but normally they will be cheaper in store.
Try these. I have a huge box of assorted cables and these work great to keep em organized.
For small home setups, I've had plenty of luck with patch panels like this one.
While this method is probably preferable to using wire nuts, they do make inline splice adapters for cat5. Although the best solution is just to pull a new cable without any splices.
Oh for the love of.... That's not even that big of a mess. 2 hours tops and a bunch of these and these and that'd be all fixed up in no time.
I expect an update by the end of the week.....
I have this one in my theater, and I've used one in a local brew pub for their TV hookup. Works great.
I love the Belkin snagless ones. They're pretty expensive but they pop out when, and only when, you need them to.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Cat5e-Snagless-Patch-Cable/dp/B00006464Q/
These and a some of this are useful too
It looks like it's Framtrak Wire Trak. link I recently bought this for running some cable in my house. It's similar quality and not a bad price for what you get.
Do you have TripLite 12,000 BTU unit? If so, how do you like it? I was thinking about getting it as a replacement for the time when the current AC dies.
http://www.amazon.com/Fluke-Networks-26000900-PRO3000-Analog/dp/B000FTADX0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413425579&sr=8-1&keywords=fluke+tracer One of these is usually a good tool for finding things
These may be of some help.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E1Y5O6/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use these on everything. My home usage cables and my work A/V cables.
These
These things: http://www.amazon.com/Velcro-Reusable-Self-Gripping-Inches-91140/dp/B001E1Y5O6
Use them.
That's quite a mess. Get yourself a tv stand with shelves and get those consoles up off the floor. Have the imac centered on one desk and move the monitors to the other desk w/ the pc on the floor next to it. Pick up all the loose crap laying around too.
Velcro ties for the cables. Get 100 for 7 bucks from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Velcro-Reusable-Self-Gripping-Inches-91140/dp/B001E1Y5O6 . Use zip ties and adhesive zip tie mounts to hold the bundled cables in place.
General strategy is unplug everything, lay out the devices where they will end up then plan out your cables.
