Working on a new video talking about some planned upgrades to my home network.

I used to go overboard when it came to my home network (first pic), but after I moved about seven years ago, that all changed. I'm embarrassed to say that this "temporary" set up has not been changed one bit. Life got in the way, but I can't take it anymore.

I'm ready to overhaul my network from the backbone down to every endpoint, and every cable in-between. Hope there are some other networking/home labs aficionados among my followers.

I used to go all out with switches and routers, etc. But after 2 moves I'm all wireless mesh lol

That is a lot of patch cords! Might need to limit devices on the network?

OMG, cables on the side are really messy. Good luck with that 😱 But your top-of-rack is perfect, tho

That’s a lot of coax hanging out of the wall. Just cut it and gut it. 🫣

The rack is realy tidy. Hard to see racks like these. In your new house, I think you need a complete overhaul, though. Why are these coax cables? Cable TV?

Looking at those network tendrils and all I can think of is Davey Jones’s unruly squid “beard” 🐙

I've updated my home network to 2.5GbE recently.

Did that recently with Ubiquiti hardware, highly recommend if you don't want to bother too much with it

Have you decided on an upgrade direction. Bull in a china shop or little bites approach?
