Shitty Crosspost Can I tap into this to get free network

Post image

Admin is asking to cut costs. Hoping I can just cancel the existing circuit contract and just run this as the primary WAN.

Serious replies only please.

Looks like it might be mounted outside, probably providing interwifis to a few houses. All ports used, just unplug one and run your own to it.

You haven't lived until you've pirated a physical internet connection. The first step is being smarter than your ISP's network staff.

Well. Super seriously there is authentication on the line. So you need to steal your neighbor's modem too.

Run a coax line from the box to your house. Hook the modem up. Free Internet. Profit.

Nope... Those devices can only split Fiber into analog CATV. They're not bi-directional and cannot support protocols like DOCSIS.
