Show Notes

In this episode, I talk with network consultant and YouTuber, Cody from MacTelecom Networks who also happens to be Canadian so is typically a nice-guy. Fair warning, there’s an absolute UniFi bias in this episode, but no-one from Ubiquiti has been involved in any part of this production.

It’s been an interesting few years for home networks, especially as more of us have been working from home and have needed a stable and reliable connection that, despite their bold claims, no ISP router can really provide. So, myself and Cody chat about what people can consider for a better experience as well as delving into the world of UniFi, particularly because of the recent release of the UniFi Dream Router.

I really hope you find this episode insightful, it was a real blast recording with Cody. If you’ve got any network experiences you want to share, we’d love to hear from you, so send a note over to podcast@crossedwires.net, leave a comment on the post, or start a discussion in Goodpods.

If you liked this episode or any of our content, we’d greatly appreciate any little bit of support you can throw our way over at our Ko-Fi page.
