Best Wi-Fi Access Points (Updated for 2021)
I talk to people every day about computers and electronics. From friends and family, to business colleagues, to vendors selling equipment.

The Best Powerline Network Kit
I’ve spent a lot of time helping friends and family over the years with their home networks. One thing I have determined without fail. The absolute best powerline network kit is the TP-LINK AV2000 Gigabit Powerline Kit. Most homes built before the early 2000’s don’t have hardwired network cables in the walls. This can make […]

Since my home network tour a lot (and I do mean a lot) of you have asked for more details on certain parts of my home network. The most asked question is of course why I chose a Core i7 over a XEON. Followed right behind that was to ask why I chose the Synology […]
