They don't get it

In college our apartment had one long hallway with all the rooms coming off of it. The connection for the router was on the opposite end from my room. So me and another guy had a horrible connection. We macgyvered a bunch of Ethernet cords using cheap couplers from Amazon and just laid them down in the hallway and into my room. We used an old router as an wireless access point. It may not have looked nice, but it worked!
