not op, but yeah looks like. my old gaming tower is about to get debian installed and go on perma server duty, and the onboard wifi has an antenna like this, which may let me leave it in the garage.

Oof, do NOT run a server over WIFI. If plain old Ethernet is not an option, get something like this which, no, is not cheap but will offer a MUCH better experience.

  I have a 2 story house (plus basement). I use Moca 2.5. House was built with coax to every room for cable TV. Everything that need high data use (tvs, gaming consoles, pc) gets hardwired. Everything else is on the two mesh routers.

    Just remember to put a MOCA filter on the line coming into your house from the street. Otherwise you’ll be sending all your Internet traffic straight out the cable line to all of your neighbors.

    And I've been doing it for over 40. WIFI may be acceptable for certain applications, but it's never the best solution.

    Perfect is the enemy of good (enough).
