While I know I was claiming the opposite, it is actually an anxiety by of mine.

In my first townhouse I had wired in speakers, and network/cable/phone everywhere. There was a really nice structured wiring box tying it all together. It was beautiful.

When I sold, the realtor made me leave my speakers, my router, my switches, because she claimed it was part of the house and no one could use the wiring without it. What a load of BS that was, but when a home sale is on the line, no point in swearing the small stuff. After I factory reset things, what good does it do them over buying their own, wither own account, and a user manual?

    Mine as well, i have a closet with a half rack with all my networking gear, NAS, UPS, proxmox server, etc. If I'm gone, it's time for whoever lives here to just get a combined router/modem from the ISP and call it a day.

    "can't use the wiring" So in the old days they made people leave all their phones connected when they moved right? /s
