My ISP does offer Gig, but not in my monetary bandwidth <grin> I went out to get some pix, and opened one of the boxes, and had a wasp nest. Need to get rid of that and I will get a few pix.
I am guessing my 'best solution' is to do a 'inside the garage' box for router and connections. I really like the WIFI router where it is (kind of the center of the house), so it might wind up being an 'endpoint' for a 'border router'. I understand Tilghman's comments about max power via small wires, that is a main reason for a in-house 'wiring cabinet' where I would put a small UPS as well. Plus, having wired access in the garage could be nice for some 'who knows' projects in the future. Thanks everyone, for their help and interest!
