Your home network may be the most important piece of your smart home. In this video I'll share all of the updates that I've made to my network rack over the past two years.

I have switched to Unifi for all of my networking needs. We'll compare Unif to other mesh wifi systems that you may want to use for your smart home. I'll also give you a full tour of everything else I'm currently using in my network rack.
