My gen 2 is on the way BUT I can no longer extend the cable as you could with gen 1 since there is no power brick that allowed you to use ethernet cable from the brick in an out location to the modem in the house. Can I put the gen 2 modem in an out building with power, use the ethernet adapter and run exterior cat 6 cable to another modem in the house? Can't come up with any other option. HELP!

Along this same note:
Has anyone thought of/tried cutting the supplied "proprietary ended" cable and connecting it back together with couplers and cat6 cable??
Just got my Gen2 in and setup this weekend. Where I want to put the dish and where I need the router to be, I already have cat6 wire. I was wondering if I could cut the cable that came with it and couple it back together instead of trying to feed it through a wall, a ceiling, an attic and another wall. I have cat6 already run from the attic space to where the router needs to be and it would be SOOO much easier if I could do that.
Has anyone tried this yet with the Gen2?
Thanks for any input!!
