Instant like and sub, for five reasons: 1. no annoying music. 2. Clearly spoken information with great visual aids. 3. No aggravating rehashing the same point over and over. 4. You didn't feel the need to do picture in picture with your face getting in the way of the information being presented. 5. Without being begged, you posted timeline links in the description to be able to skip directly to a specific point and/or go back to review your points Well done!

This is how you educate the public. For years I thought a router was one thing but now I realize the many components it has. Years later this is still great.
-
Now see....... THIS IS USEFUL STUFF that should be taught in Public School.
-
As an IT System Analyst, I actually enjoy an can always nerd out on refreshing on the basics . I don’t get to do basic setups nowadays but thank you for sharing this and making this helpful for others. Great content!
-
This is a very easy to understand video! I've done headend cable management and it's basically the same thing just with hundreds of cables. Labeling your cables is very important.
-
I can not thank you enough, I'm going for my CompTIA A+ exam, and this video HELPED TO PUT IT ALL IN A SIMPLE AND CLEAR EXPLAINATION! Thank You.
-
Super comprehensive breakdown without getting bogged down in the details. Also very impressive starting point (like 1990s) networking up to modern networking while keeping a good pace and provides contexts for an absolute beginner. Great work.
-
Thank you!!! I had some kind of mental block that prevented me from seeing how these devices interacted and why you may want a particular setup but your video made everything clear. Much, much appreciated!
-
This video was VERY helpful. I now understand that I was relying totally on my modem (public access) and did NOT, in fact, have a private network!
-
Explain it to me like I was 6. Now explain it to me like I'm 2. Thank you. That was very helpful.
-
I understand I am commenting on a year old video, but kudos to you for putting together such a clear and concise video explaining basic home networking. Very well done. Only thing I may comment on is that not everyone is willing to spend the money on a separate router or DMZ switch to accommodate their network. Well done good sir.
-
You're a saviour! I've spent a few weeks now trying to learn about devices needed for a home network. I wish more resources were this clean and simple to understand…
-
If your going to network this is a very easy "how to" get started! Thank you so much! I'm a wire/patch panel geek...the only good network is a wired network...I would wire my cell phone but can't find a cable long enough 🤣
-
I have seen alot of videos but the way you explains sounds like you just answer each and individual question which go through my mind. Really appreciate for such clear explanation.
-
This may be one of the best put together videos explaining home networking in, yes, basic terms but also clear visuals.
-
Best explanation ever. Easy to understand, thorough yet succinct. Easy to listen to. Just what I needed!
-
I am a computer network engineer very well presented!
-
Sir, i dont have words to appreciate you. You blew away all my confusions about router,modem,switch,WAP Thanks a lot.
-
I started a career change into the IT field and I decided to take an Online program with basically a guy taking and talking and naming all the technical jargon, as much as it was understandable a bit, I needed something much more explanatory with visuals and I stumbled on this video of yours. I have not even finished the video and I already understand everything!! Now I can see why you have 4.4m views on this video. Great JOB man!! I will look out for more of your videos!
-
I knew all of this, but the video was so well done that I stayed until the end. Awesome video.
