[PVRCNC] OT: U-verse

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

The answer is that the U-verse gateways in use are the 3800 and 3801, the
-01 being a much beefier and more noise and interference-free version of
the 3800.  Both are one-size-fits-all. Wireless is in the gateway box, but
you can turn it off in the menu. My 3801 has been a horse and utterly
satisfactory up to now. It covers downstairs and west end of my house
better than anything I had down there before.  Have a wireless on CAT-5
upstairs for shack and the apartment on east end.  The 3801 wireless is the
one that is in the family mob smartphones, tablets and laptops they drag in
here.  Only the wife's office computer (in the same computer desk as the
gateway), and my shack computers are on CAT-5 network to the gateway. The
CAT-5 also carries the TV in my house.

73, Guy
