I work for an internet company as a technician. Everything you said is true. I also recommend mesh networks to a lot of the houses I service.

Went to a huge house the other day, they bought Eero pro 6, but was still using our router. Confused as to why they weren’t using such an expensive system, they said they didn’t know how to set it up. So I offered to help them set it up (we typically don’t do this, as in we aren’t supposed to) made a huge difference in speed to all areas of the house. Definitely a good investment in my opinion.

Money saving tip. Buy your own router and configure it with the ISP. It’s easy and saves you router rental costs every month

Number 2 is very under rated. People under estimate how many devices they have in their home as well. also old devices can be a real problem in certain situations. If the devices uses an older standard, 802.11 b etc. it can basically slow down the ENTIRE network. It can also caps speed to the standard it is in. This doesn’t happen all the time but it happened to me on a very large job and caused “nightmares”.

Nice, thank you sir. Great video as always!

What was left out: if it’s possible to run an Ethernet cable from the router to devices such as a computer or a smart TV, that bypasses the wi-fi altogether. We use Ethernet to connect our main streaming device (an Apple TV), even though we have great bandwidth (250/250) and a very capable router.

Hi thanks for the info but can you touch on homes with metal studs throughout the house, what's the best way to get better coverage? Can you make a video with your response?

I got a question about home theater setup the receiver I got is the Marantz SR6015 and the speakers I’m going to hook up are 7 of the Klipsch CDT-5800-C II In-ceiling speakers and the Klipsch R-12SW Subwoofer will I need an amp? What’s one I could get for a good price?

good presentation, hey Chris, can you tell me the proper way to connect my PS5 to an NAD T778 and a Sony XBR-A8H 4K TV? I have watched your videos several times but don't think I have applied the connections correctly. Looking for some help from my favorite expert!!

[taylarowings]

I have TDS cable service which has a combo modem / router (Arris TG2472) should I add a router only (asus rapture gt-axe11000 like recommended on one of your other videos) or do I need to replace the modem combo as well?

I finally ponied up some money and got a nice mesh wi-fi system for my home and it has honestly been life-changing!

[shannonstanley]

But what is the other end of your hdmi plugged into that brings up all the tv apps?

[alphabanks]

This was a fantastic video also if you can run cat 5e or cat 6 it's worth doing. I prefer to homerun the access points back to the main switch.

I bought a new Samsung TV (DU7200) which was the new "ARC". I have a older Onkyo receiver (tx-RS606) that doesn't have "ARC". I have a 5.1 surround sys that was using an optical cable from the receiver to the TV. I'm unable to get my TV to play through my receiver any more, HELP !!

Squirrels chewed through the wires connected to my house.

I figured this out after 2 days of troubleshooting.

Damn squirrels! 😡

My modem says doc 3.0. Do I need a new modem?

[flwolf]

Great advise, but what if you only have an Ethernet connection on one end of the house???
