Welcome to the Ubiquiti club. Everyone has a friend that introduces them to this rabbit hole. Bless you! ๐
this was my first time seeing your videos and wow, the way you explain things so well for complete beginners and then delve deeper into the details for the more experienced is amazing, really enjoyable watch!
Great video! I have been searching for months and finally found the right video to help me get started

Your speed is limited to the slowest port on the segment. And the way serial data works is the reason for 10 bits is 1 start bit 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. That means 20% is overhead. Also the speed from your ISP isnโt constant. If you scope it youโll see the data rate is constantly going up and down . Put a ps5 on a 10 gigabyte switch and your speed is 1 gigabit. Use the right switch for the specific application.
Thank you for the video, for those that don't want to go the Ubiquiti route look into MikroTik routers and APs (DIY ers).
This is exactly the kind of video I was needing! Thank you!
Great video. My home network has changed so many times, it dreams about your home network.. lol I've learned a lot along the way, but still not a clean rack mount system. In the end it comes down to why do you need a home network, and what is your cost basis for having a simple network vs our dream network? I do think though with so many working from home, and accessing personal financial data. My opinion is that everyone should have a guest wi-fi for the kids, friends, family, and neighbors that ask "Hey, what's your wi-fi password?" Additionally, I think everyone working from home should have a good firewall with IPS/IDS, as well as international IP blocking, and separate VLAN's for IoT devices, home devices that have sensitive information like financial data, and a separate vlan for work devices. What are your thoughts, or should I search for that video on your channel ๐
5:15 you are describing a hub not a switch. While I appreciate your intention and to the average person it doesn't matter you are sidestepping the entire point of a switch. A power strip is one collision domain, ie every plug shares the same access to the supply while a switch is smarter and makes circuits between the ports to reduce crosstalk and speed up the network. I get that it isn't important really but switches really do improve networks immeasurably because of micro-segmentation and without them nothing would ever get done. Switch layer 2, power strip is layer 1. Big diff
In my degree and typical home in my country, having a home network is having by a few years ago, a Apple Router, not is just a ONT + PoE Switch with 2 PoE Routers and 3 cameras... you don't need the amount of things you see in American YouTube channels. At the end, having all that we see on videos is just kind of like: I want to spend money, but where? Unless you are a pirate with a lot of movies saved on HDD, pirate with a lot of music or actually editing videos, you will probably end up using a PC as server with a few terabytes of space. First time on this channel on this video, this is a great video, I have found myself wanting to spend few hundreds on useless technology to create a big network on my home but at the end it will only depends on: are you a American with a big home like most of the guys on the videos? do you really notice downgrades of signal around home? are you willing to avoid doing Feng Shue to use everything by cable (which is actually better that wireless)?
i like what u did with the flex switches in the attic. smart.
about the repeaters (TP link) be aware that it can be tripping your ISP signal up in weird ways (e.g. mine didn't serve IPVN4 through to my newly installed linux devices (it did serve it to the windows device) cables and turning them into access points did solve this issue. just know that the TP links can have challeneges, is all
great video, simple and sleek implementation explained very well at a pace you don't lose people in an hour long video getting into specs, that are cool but the average user and hell some power users, will never touch. the only constructive criticism i would have added or emphasized would have been redundancy for data, so think of building like my 12bay nas/sas i have an identical one with identical drives and after the initial backup from one to the other, which took a couple days, it now just backs up the changes to the main one over to the redundant nas/sas at, i think 4am and even if i'm up surfing or something i don't even notice the activity. (and they both have failover ethernet connections. you can do this with just about any hardware that has a failover and if you can afford it, its a great data protection option.
Hi, I am one of those people who built a house last year....and when asked if I wanted ethernet drops, I said no....I'm a dumb dumb. Don't be me. I really didn't think ethernet drops would do me any good for the extra $$$ they were gonna charge to install it
Think of enterprise switches like Cisco 9300 the thing is a beast
Always opt-in for ethernet. At the very least, get some smurf tube put in so you can have it installed later. Old work gets expensive! Source: I'm an electrician.
We just finished updating our house with new everything but I never thought about getting internet ports installed in different areas ๐ข Guess I'll b drilling holes...
My electrical OCD kicked in and I wanted to yell at the screen when he plugged that angle plug into the top left outlet, blocking the other outlets for one plug.
