What was your most scuffed set up?

A family member o’ mine is leading a warehouse for their shipping business but didn’t realise until it was too late that they only got DSL in their building. Very VERY spotty dsl. Drops around midday, is slow af the rest of the day all that jazz. Their solution? Buy a 2 hotspots from 2 different carriers to be done in order to when the DSL goes down. They’ve tried satellite but it idiocies out in their repository. ISP won’t run cables to their place due to some civil dispute. But even the hot spot themselves are simply so fast in the building they’re in since the walls are all brick.

So what did I get called in to do for this family member that lives in all regions of the country from me? Put the hotspots on the roof, wire it to an access spot and configure them separately( office, store) while the DSL leads a server they have someone else configuring.

Did I insist? Yeah a bit. Did I do it for them begrudgingly? Yep. Did it cultivate? I hate be acknowledged but so far it seems to have worked fine but it feels so…Jank. I’m not a system chap but I’m the family’s “computer guy”

What’s the jankiest set up you’ve ever seen? And got any recommendations for fixing my kinfolks question before I leave and go back home?
