I have a Netgear AC1900 Cable Modem Wifi Router combo. Model C7000v2. I don't need it to be my main gateway anymore, but it is pretty new and I hate to not use it in some way if I can. Can this box be used as an extender etc? Any uses for it ? I do have some low/dead spots that could use an extra boost, or maybe to help with security cameras that are further away? It has the coax, a USB and 4 LAN ports but of course no WAN. TIA for any good ideas!

Can anyone rec a good certified arborist in Bristol or JC - I have a sick Linden tree that I don't want to lose. TIA!!!

60F, single, primary residence TN. I think I'm there, and could semi-retire. I would be able to freelance hourly for my current job and taper back. I have the following:

~ $500,000 in CDs, emergency fund and HYS. Most of the cd's will mature at avg 4.5% later this year, so I need to do something with those when they do. Thinking SGOV <??>

~ $370,000 across SEP IRA, Roth, Rollover IRA and taxable brokerage (convert all to Roth?)

~ $60,000 HSA, invested. I max it out every year

~ Long term care insurance (current premium is about $1k a year - I bought early)

~ AFLAC personal policies for both Cancer specific and "Major Event" (heart etc)

~$30k left on mortgage @ 3.35% - will probably pay it off this summer depending on what interest rates do. House is worth about $400,000

~ 4 yrs left of receiving alimony payments = appx $130k total, but taxable

estimated SS at full retirement would be around $2500 as I have been self-employed for 20 years and some years were low due to write-offs

I will also inherit a commercial property and my mother's residence (she is 90) which will = about $500,000 in re-sale value, and appx $300K cash, assuming already 2-3 years in long term care facilities for her.

Retirement spend, probably on the low side, $60k a year ish? I am not a big spender

I have no heirs, so am not concerned with a legacy, just not running out! Any advice is greatly appreciated !
