Another thought and just a thought, if you are going to potentially run a line to your dad’s house, is there talks of you both just getting a faster internet to one home (probably yours) and running a line to his home and setting up access point(s) for his internet?
I would suggest running fiber between the homes with media converters, no change of electric surge with fiber. You could also look at using point to point antennas between the two houses.
