According to Roger_N :

Right now this is sort of a temporary arrangment, I don't have a proper shop
building yet. For now I have been running a 100 foot ethernet cable to my
lathe, trying not to crush it in the door. I could drill a hole through the
East wall and run the cable outdoors around the house and into the shop
(carport). I don't know of any good access under the house, the crawl space
is thinner than I am in places and I have seen bees, snakes, brown recluse
spiders, rats, and ??? under there! It wouldn't take me long to wish I
would have just bought the wireless ethernet converter!

However -- an argument in favor of cable vs wireless is that you
don't have to worry about someone driving by looking for a "hot spot"
connecting to your system and interrupting a running machining job.

Good Luck,
DoN.

I would hope the job would be FTP'ed to the local CNC machine before
it would ever be run
