I rent a Cox Panorama modem/router with Cox internet service for $87 a month. It generates a strong WiFi network, provides Ethernet to the Roon Nucleus, and a port to the AT&T base. Maybe I should take the Panorama to the apartment. I think it rents for about $15 a month.

Abe's post reminded me that I used the M2 Mini for a while to control Roon running in the Nucleus. The display was the 85" Sony But there was no convenient place for the keyboard and mouse, so I returned to my 27" iMac or iPad for control. I didn't try running Roon on the M2 although I ran it on the iMac before I got the Nucleus.

I find wireless keyboards and mice to be very conveniently located by my side on the sofa ;-)

  I much prefer a Laptop with a Touch Pad.

    Since I'm using a 75" big screen in front of me the keyboard + mouse work well. I can also use the iPad to control Roon on the 75" screen so I don't need the keyboard + mouse in that case - but they come in handy if I'm in YouTube.

      I use a MacBookAir for Roon and internet in the living room. I'll try using an iPad to control Roon running on the Nucleus in the media room. In addition to Ethernet to the LS60, the Nucleus is connected via HDMI to a Sony HT A9, and the A9 even shows 'Roon' as the source when it's playing.
      
      Turns out the retirement community has an IT team I'll be consulting with.

        Excellent! My Dad's IT team at his community was either me or the HVAC guy ;-)
