I have owned four Wi - Fi routers in my lifetime . Without exclusion , they have all been blocky , joyless object that brought nothing but pain and frustration into my aliveness ( and , y’know , wireless cyberspace ) . If the approach points had been hidden inside the USS Enterprise , however , things would have been oh so unlike .
Sadly , you ca n’t buy an Enterprise router off the shelf , but you’re able to cut up one together surprisingly well . Christoph Kauchand Rol Schwarzappear to have done just that , set aUbiquiti Unifirouter inside a Revell 1:600 manakin of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 .
Because it ’s a fair dim-witted initiative - level approach point , integrating the AP into the Enterprise case does n’t calculate too hard : there ’s just one Ethernet port that needed wiring into the stand , and the actual plank for the router fits pretty snugly into the bridge deck of the initiative . Even so , the attention to contingent — promiscuous - up command bridge , anyone ? — is impressive .
The modding duoposted a series of images of the process , plus a safe making - of video to YouTube . afford that the designer of the original NC-1701 admitted to taking design brainchild from family point ( specifically , the heating element of his stove ) , I think it ’s fitting that the Enterprise is back in routine household items .
