Purchase a Motorola Surfboard. Will work with cable, has wireless access and usually 5 RJ45 connections.

It is obvious you can’t leave these Jabronis unsupervised with this equipment. People at HQ changing routers which killed the SATCOM system delivery of live video from the airplanes. Then the mechanics start swapping out LRUs between aircraft apparently oblivious to the fact that they are all calibrated and IP addressed for a specific airframe. Sheesh. Still going home Saturday morning though.
