Wow, finally a series that speaks my language! As someone who's always been a bit intimidated by the tech jargon, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. Your step-by-step approach is exactly what I need to set up my home network without feeling lost. Looking forward to learning more and maximizing my setup. Keep up the great work!

Thank you. Great start. I've have a cable modem/router in the basement for years not understanding how this stuff works. Paying for 1 Gig Internet and lucky to get 50-100 mbps at various devices around the house. Ready to start 100% over with all new hardware. This video helps.

Finally! I only use wireless connection in my current house. But I am moving to a house with CAT 5 wiring. We had no idea what it was when we had to choose. This really helped. I’ve searched for info and it was so jargon heavy I had to give up after a couple of sentences.

AMAZING video, exactly what I was looking for and i appreciate you stripping it all down and explaining it the way you did!

[danielchong]

Very useful, clear and easy to understand, thank you!!!

[contemporaryprimitiveman]

This is helpful for me. I live in a secluded area and had no internet for 27 years until I got starlink recently. Now I'm trying to understand and learn how I can move toward some smart home functionality.

Great Video! I also purchased TP Link X60 and TP Link Ethernet 16 Port Switch too hardwire in Hubs, Smart TV and many more devices. Can’t wait to see more videos!

[lynnbui]

This video was so nice as a newbie, I’m always scared to ask for help or explanations, especially to workers, so thank you so so much!!

[MrAerialsound]

I accidently came across your channel... Wow. I love your presentation. Very informative.

I have Giga fiber with AT&T and get free HBO Max all for 79.99 and more then happy with there speed. I also set-up my home network with wired cat 6 expanded thru-out my home. I am using a Ubiquiti Unifi pro. I am not a network novice but found you because I am trying to setup my pc to be able to share photos, files, and videos on with my wife’s pc as well as my iPad. This is my weak area of networking and hopefully watching your content will help me.

Starting from zero, this video was so informative! The whole thing is well produced and you explain everything clearly and I also like that you mention how you can get for example higher speeds but unless you're a power user you don't need it, made this feel a lot more approachable

It actually helps to reinforce knowledge someone might already have on building a home network. In case they might have forgotten something or teach someone how to do it. I had to explain to my mom, talk about a fun time there.

[michaelmaldonado]

This is exactly what I been looking for to update my current system.

[Jamiejay]

This is one of the best video have seen, on how to extend your home network range, and how to set up an home network to avoid vulnerability.

[dongorsegner]

Great video, I pulled cat 5e through to different locations in my house yesterday. This helps with me building an understanding of a home network.
