My Updated Home Network
I have updated my home network. I live in a small, old beach house. I have no need for a mesh network as a single access point more than covers my house. I used the draw.io diagramming application to create the network layout.
My network wiring is nothing pretty, but it works without having to get on my knees or stand on my head to change or troubleshoot the wiring.
