Choose hotels by the quality of their WiFi

Hey EJR,

I am new to HN so not sure how to message you outside this thread. Do you have any links that could point me in the direction to do some of my own network setup at home? I'm just a beginner but would love to start learning and fix some stuff

"Eli the Computer guy" does some pretty interesting video tutorials on YouTube. He tends to go on and on a bit, but overall he does a nice job of explaining networking basics, how to run cables, use RJ45 connectors - this is very important if you run your own wire - and setting up routers/switches.

Edit: Here's the full playlist of his networking videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL8RSFQG8do&list=PLF360ED108...

Also, HN doesn't have a private messaging feature. If users don't put their email in the free-text field on their profile, there's no way to get in touch with them privately.

He probably also doesn't know that he isn't getting any 'notifications' for reply on his comments and most probably he's not going to see this either :D

Haha, I'm an avid reader of HN, so I tend to revisit articles to check for updates.

Thanks for the help everyone
