It’s been nearly eight years since I moved into my current house, and my “temporary” network setup stuck around way too long. I’m finally tearing it all down and planning a modern 10Gig and homelab rebuild.

In this video, I’ll show you my current sad Orbi setup (yes, it’s bad), talk about what I want to build, and ask for your input on the best hardware for 2025 and beyond.

Let’s design a network that’s blazing fast, flexible, and future-proof. Comment below with your ideal network stack and let’s make it happen!

Awesome job! Just wondering how you choose which Patreon members for the end of the videos?

Not a Homelab guru by any stretch… BUT as a Designer, I’m loving the graphics/memes utilized here! 🙌🏼

It will be a very interesting upgrade. Is your NAS all-flash NVME or SAS?

Are you thinking to hardwire every room and then add wifi if needed?

Sorry, I can't help you much here. In my daily work, I focus more on high availability and multiple adduction points than on speed, and more on latency than on bandwidth, both in terms of network and storage. This involves expensive, rock solid hardware based on proven standards. Nothing affordable at home, where I don't really have any special needs. Besides, I'm too far from the US market to be able to advise anyone on this. But I'm curious to see what suggestions will be made here

Any progress on the home upgrade?
