Not everyone is sold on WiFi. Some families are making the deliberate choice to go wired — whether for health concerns, security reasons, or simply because wired connections are objectively faster and more reliable.
One EXTNGO customer made this exact decision for their household. Rather than running permanent cable through walls (expensive and inflexible), they invested in EXTNGO reels to create a modular, whole-house wired network that could adapt to how they actually live.
Work Anywhere — Even the Backyard
The real magic of the EXTNGO in this setup was flexibility. "I like to bring a table outside and work when the weather is nice," the customer shared. With the EXTNGO's 50-foot reach, running a cable from an interior router to a patio table was trivial. Pull, connect, work in the sunshine. Done for the day? Retract, store, gone.
"Great compact product. We no longer use wifi because of the unknown longterm risks associated with it, so we decided to run ethernet cords around our house. I like to bring a table outside and work when the weather is nice, and the extngo has been a great tool to let me run a cord outside and plug into my laptop."
The Flat Cable Advantage
When you're running cable between rooms daily, aesthetics matter. Round cables create trip hazards and carpet bumps. The EXTNGO's flat cable disappears under rugs and along baseboards. This family could maintain a clean, cable-free look while being fully wired — the best of both worlds.
For families considering the switch to wired networking, EXTNGO provides the flexibility to experiment without committing to permanent infrastructure. Start with one reel, see how it works for your lifestyle, and expand from there.
