I would not be using that plug featured at 5:27, it won't have a fuse fitted and is therefore exceptionally dangerous

Pro tip- hold the option key and click on the WiFi icon in the top bar of the MacBook and you’ll see exactly what frequency, channel, channel width, and signal strength of the WiFi network you’re connected to.

I am not sure how many of these devices would some day join a DDOS attack of some sort if you kept them running...

[forid]

The BerylAX is amazing, I've got two of these. Great for travelling

[VW_Fan]

That plug on the switch isn't legal as it isn't fused.

[ShinyTechThings]

Does the 2.5GnE switch PSU or switch itself put out any high pitched coil whine noises?

[mistermartin]

The plug on the 2.5G switch is dodgy as. There is no fuse in it, i'd cut it off and put a new one on with 3a fuse. As it is your on a 32A circuit breker, that cable will be onfire long before it trips

[fammarks]

Thank you Alex, would like to see a comparison of the Beryl ax and your asus travel router.

[firebreafdragon]

That psu for the 2.5G switch looks sketchy as hell but if it’s a standard 12v jobbie then even if you replace it with a reputably sourced one it’s still cheap for 2.5G

[MrAndylangham]

Can you do more content like this 👍I loved it

[JoshyWins]

I got a similar 2.5gbit switch from Aliexpress for around £20, which had two 10gbit SFP ports... The SFP to RJ45 adapters may cost more than the switch itself, but I've managed a consistent 10gbit between my Synology NAS and PC.. Fraction of the cost compared to the next 10gbit solution!

[HAGER]

The mikrotik maplite is a brill portable router far smaller than the one in this video. I use one to connect to my phones 4g as a fallback connection into my network. It works very well and runs router os so very configurable and they are around £20.

[frankieization]

That travel router is on amazon, it's £67.

[frankieization]

How come you got a booster but didnt check it's range

[thebrentfamily]

Just a heads up... Gotta watch Ali Express pricing... Not logged in that travel router shows $5 less than when I'm logged into my

[kecske_gaming]

yoo im really interested in the wifi halo range test cuz i might get one so please do some range tests

[gshaw]

Has anyone got more information on the Long Range WiFi Sender Please?

[RickyGreenidge]

Would be cool to see you build a whole house or basic home network setup even with a NAS with AliExpress devices. Seeing that AliExpress has capable items.

[piemanmuncy]

do you not get hit with import duties on top of the sale prices though?
